#Repost @thejoejoiner ・・・ MOONLIGHTER BRIEF: @alistairramage year 3 Quadratic Music 🎧 I set a brief at @bachelseagraphics for the second year running, pushing the students to work on projects outside of their specialisms to broaden conceptual thinking and increase skill variety. Alistair selected the “make a piece of sound” outcome at random and used mathematical equations as rules to control expressions of sound, for audio and visual to work in harmony within a gridded format. Love it 👌🏼 #moonlighterbrief #thisisnotwhatwedo #design #sounddesign #animation #audioreactive #multidisciplinary

What was happening at Fora the co-working space near Old Street last week with the 3rd year? All will be revealed..

Elizabeth Friedlander (Elizabeth ND typeface at bauertypes.com) Elizabeth Friedlander (1903-1984) was born in Berlin. She was a Jewish Anglo-German type designer, calligrapher and graphic designer. She studied design, calligraphy and typography with E.R. Weiss at the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin and worked as a graphic designer for the elegant magazine, ‘Die Dame’ being in charge of headings and lay-outs. She was commissioned to design a typeface for Bauersche Giesserei from Frankfurt am Main, a very unusual task for a woman in those days. Elizabeth was produced in the Bauersche Giesserei in 1938. Because of the war, in 1939 she moved to London taking finally British citizenship. After the war, she succeeded as a book and graphic designer, among others for Penguin Books, Linotype and Monotype.

Brian Aldiss on Kubrick ‘I was always keen on the idea of narrative. My books always have a narrative. That is to say, cause and effect. That's what I like. But Stanley was less interested in that and he said to me 'now forget about the narrative'. He said 'what you need to make a movie is six 'non-submersible units'. That was the phrase he used: 'non-submersible units'. Kubrick more explicitly defined a non-submersible unit as "a fundamental story sequence where all the non-essential elements have been stripped away." To take one example, 2001: A Space Odyssey: 1. The monolith visits humankind in its infancy. 2. An early man discovers technology (Moon Watcher smashes the bones) 3. The monolith is excavated on the moon by astronauts and sends a message. 4. Humankind send a manned mission to Jupiter to investigate. 5. Advanced technology (Hal) endangers the mission crew. 6. Technology is defeated and the surviving crewmember rendezvous with the aliens. 7. The Star-Child is born. #kubrick #stanleykubrick #storytelling

In storytelling we know there’s the 3 Act (Aristotle - beginning/middle/end) and 5 Act system (Elizabethan - includes rising action, things going wrong then resolution) and lots of extensions to these models over the years. In 1991 playwright Ken Adams came up with a simple system for telling stories which everyone from Pixar to Brands have been using called the story spine exercise. (Btw is not just ads and films it’s a way to create presentations as well..) #storytelling

Found a more reliable projector with sound!

Congratulations.

New office addition. Who do we have to thank for this? Reply in comments..

Victor Vasarely 1906-1997, was a Hungarian-French artist, who is widely accepted as a "grandfather" and leader of the Op art movement. #vasarely #renault
