Week 2 of the wallpaper




Second week, second post! Due to my almost non-existent knowledge of coding, the site's still a bit of a mess, if anyone has any suggestions on the design (and knows how to do it) let me knooow. Enjoy!

Wallpaper Blog Soft Launch


Hey people, there are still some kinks to work out, and so far there's just one post, but I thought you all should know, the wallpaper site is up, and Bryce is the first one on it!

Take a look...

Bibliophile!


So here's my book that I completed for the bibliophile fach course (in which we learned bookmaking techniques). It's a guide for potential Bauhaus students. The first half of the book is geared towards people looking at coming for exchange, and the second half is for both exchange and full-time students. It covers almost everything, from where to get your mail, to integrating within student life in weimar. Yaaay.

Illustration










These are the illustrations I came up with during semester 1 (in the Illustration Projekt). The first six are the main thing we were working on (we had a series of stories to choose from, and mine is about an unfriendly giant who likes to eat people :) and the other three are smaller assignments (the first, a horoscope for a womens' magazine, the second for Suddeutsche magazine and the third for Mobil magazine).

Carbon


This is the typeface I made over the summer for Type 4. I have a type showing poster that needs to be reworked, but I just haven't gotten around to it... hopefully later... I had issues saving this for posting, so I just took a screen capture. Good enough, yeah?

Screenprinting Part III





The top one I made for B-rice's birthday... The photo makes it look spotty for some reason (?) The second one was from a drawing that I did, then made into a print, for Mike's birthday. The third one is a shirt I made for Jordan, using a Rob Frost original drawing, and the last one is actually the first one I made this summer, for my older brother's birthday (modeled by Miles). I also drew right onto acetate which left no room for error...

I also reprinted some others for my Oma, but this is the first one I've done on my larger screen (which is turning out to be a bigger pain in the ass than I anticipated, especially when trying to rinse it in the bathtub...) We reprinted Bryce's and rinsed off the screen with a hose in the backyard, and that was ten times easier! Hopefully I'll figure out a better system for cleaning at home.

Typography 3 Project 2




For this project, we had to research the founding Futurist manifesto and look at other manifestos as well. We then chose one and created a layout that integrated the two, with legibility being of less importance. Getting little to no hints on what we were doing (just told us to do whatever we wanted, while having a hidden agenda...?), honestly, the most frustrating project I've ever done, but it turned out farily well in the end. Some other people used folds to put theirs together, but I opted to make a book, using the drillpress at York, which was pretty cool.

Typography 3 Project 1



This project was carried out over the whole semester and involved us choosing from a list of songs and then doing three different approaches to the lyrics. The song I did was "I Need to Wake Up" by Melissa Etheridge. I could describe the process behind this project, but it's a complicated one (and I also forget, and don't care anymore). We then had to create a chemise (package) for the layouts. I made two different ones, one out of paper and cardboard backing, the other out of wood for the exterior and a fabric chemise. It's hard to see, but there are three different types of paper. The second and third are the same colour, but the third is a coloured mylar...

Screenprinting Part II








So I made alot of shirts over the holidays... oddly enough there seemed to be a couple more screwups than last time. I asked my family what they wanted, and then made prints based on that. I drew for two of them (the flower and the abstract explosion type thing, and also made some stencils for a few of the shirts) and the others were live traces. Most of them were made as Christmas presents, and I made one for myself. The flower was for my oma, the mooninites for my older brother, the abstract was for my mum, the snowboard for my little brother and the motorcyle was for my dad. I'm also really happy with how my unicorn sweater turned out. It took 6 screens to make! I'm going to probably make one more shirt, and then move onto printing on paper... exciting!

Communication Design 1 Project 3






So these are all a part of the last project regarding sweatshops, and this one is based on a mailer created for the elderly ("mature") crowd, using ethos. The idea is to get them to fill out the form and donate money, so I designed envelopes to go with the brochure as well (one to send to the person, the other to send the form back in). I made the images by scanning fabric and sewing supplies. I also scanned several images and then had them developed so make them look like actual photographs. The top one is the inside, the following is the back. The brochure folds three times and has 4 panels.

Communication Design 1 Project 2




These are layouts for the same issue, but this time it was done in the style of a New York Times magazine spread and was based on the principle of logos.

Typography 2 Project 2



This is a handlettering project I did for type, in which we chose a small event and then had to create a mark and put it onto a little flyer type handout. Mine was Fiesta Week in Oshawa. I did the lettering, scanned it, fixed up the edges and whatnot and created the background using photoshop.
