Friday hobnob

DSCome and look at some nifty graphic design work, photography, typography, and practice your schmoozology.  Directions here.

The show will be underway all week if you’re busy on Friday.  Unfortunately the booze won’t.

Walsh Way

picture-31picture-41picture-54picture-61picture-7picture-8My Friday was all the better for attending a short seminar with our very own John Walsh, art director of Flux.  He’s recently taken the design of the magazine into his capable and letterpress-loving hands and it was interesting to see the behind-the-scenes mathematical grid system he’s developed for his page layout.

These are some of my favourites.  Ooooh they are just tops!!!

Complicated tasks become easy peasy when you’ve got a nice friendly little system, so let’s just eat some happy little jam sandwiches and hula hoops, yay.
