Doweling Jig by Nate Strehler

This doweling jig was reverse engineered in 2010 for a class assignment. In this process, students use micrometers, vernier calipers, and a variety of other measuring tools to get dimensions from an actual part, then create drawings or 3D models. It is a complicated and technical challenge promoting hands-on, minds-on effort. Good work Nate!

Drawer Handle by Jerry Schaffer

This drawer handle was the solution to a design problem in 2008. Good work Jerry!

Gable Roof Framing by Brett Penrose

This roof framing isometric was created in 1999 for a class assignment. Good work Brett!

Double Bearing by Steven May

These 3D assembly and exploded assembly models were created in 2001 for a class assignment. Good work Steven!

Neville Brody and David Carson

David Carson

David Carson

Born September 8th, 1952 in Corpus Christi, Texas, but moved to New York City four years later.

Carson was a high-school teacher before he was a graphic designer.

First actual contact with graphic design was made in 1980 at the University of Arizona on a two-week graphics course. He attended San Diego St. University as well as Oregon College of Commercial Art. Later on in 1983, Carson was working towards a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology when he went to Switzerland, where he attended a three-week workshop in graphic design as part of his degree.

Carson was also a professional surfer and in 1989 and qualified as the 8th best surfer in the world. His career as a surfer influenced his designs along with his various wolrd travels.

Famous for pushing the boundaries of design he is considered one of the most famous graphic designs on the planet (as described by creative review magazine). Carson is famous because he has influenced graphic design immensely through his use of type, approach and technique, which does not follow “traditional” graphic design standards. Many designers changed their methods and based their style from Carson’s work, which they consider “new” standards. He highly regarded for this but also through his use of combining photography and typographic elements, he manages to communicate both idea and feeling in his designs.

David started his own business called David Carson Inc and has agencies in Del Mar, California and Zurich Switzerland. He lectures all around the world. He is well known for his photography and graphic design pieces but has ranged out into other mediums e.g. directing commercials and videos. He has also written many Books including The end of print, which has been the best selling Graphic design book ever written to date and has appeared in over 180 magazines and newspaper articles. His website www.davidcarsondesign.com/ is very basic with no side links. This website is focussed primarily to focus on the body of the website and not the headings. Because he moves around a lot he needs to work in a mobile work studio.

Neville Brody

Neville Brody's work has been deemed uncommerical as his work often puts heavy heavy emphasis on safe and tested economic strategies as opposed to experimentation. During the punk rock fase in london he was almost thrown out of college for putting the Queen's head sideways on a postage stamp design, which beganhis design career of questioning the rules of society and design. 
Brody largely made his nam through his revolutionary work as Art Director for the magazine "The Face" in 1980 when it was first published. He has pushed the boundaries of visual communication in all media thorugh his experimental and challenging works. He also designed (with others) the coporate identity for the House of World Cultures in Berlin. He was one of the founding members of Fontworks and there designed a number of notable typefaces. He also co-produced FUSE, which is a project that is a published collection of experimental typefaces and posters which challenge the boundaries between typography and graphic design. 
He has published two books and have a combined sale of over 120000 copies and had over 40000 visitors at his exhibition in London before he started touring.

Neville Brody's online presence is very vast. Information about him and examples of his work are on many websites such as researchstudios.com (which he founded), designyatra.com and even on the Mac section of the Apple website. There are also interviews avaliable to watch online on vimeo.com. His vast collection of fonts, including Insignia and Blur, appear on many websites that are available for download or purchase, such as identifont.com, fontfont.com, fontshop.com, fonts.com, itcfonts.com and myfonts.com.Neville Brody was born on the 23rd of April, 1957 in London, England.

Water Bottle Poster

Task C: A line is a dot that went for a walk

This is my final design for assessment task C, this comes from muy own inspiration about creating an images that expresses me as an artist. There are two different dragon faces on my artwork, the red face dragon is the bad one and the green face dragon where he is sending a message saying ' I will find you lafa'. The theme is about two different side brothers are facing each to get redemption. I have use Photoshop to design this artwork and using different effects tools such as the Gradient tool, fitlers, colours swathes and blending options by playing around with different effects by choosing the colours and effects that adapts the best. I've used as many colours to create like a comic style image, choose colours that suits the dragon face. Also used two different  text Fonts on the top saying 'King of Dragons' as the name of the theme and on the message line that follows towards circle speech saying 'I will find you LAFA'. This  represent the dot and the line.     

Started to sketch the face of the green dragon first.



Then went on creating its  teeth, make it look of a angry impression.




Then went on sketching it's eyes.



Then I started sketching another face dragon which is the Red one.



Then I went on sketching his teeth and tongue.

Then I went on sketching these little face gold balls that is used on top of his head.

Then i went on sketching three cigaretts.

Finally i have finished sketched my final design of the bad face dragon.

CD Cover part 2

 

This is my final CD cover part 2 that I've design on Photoshop. This is same DJ artist that i have used on my first CD Cover so i have to changed the style, font and the colour of the Cover, try to look different appearance. To design this CD Cover, i have used different tools such as Gradient tool to created a tone and contrast colour, I used the gradient to create it shading tone colour at the background and also on the DJ person. I decided to place the logo on the back cover and i also used the gradient to create both colours at the same time. At the back cover, I started play around with the grey part by looking into a spikey appearance and make it funky. The text I've used is the Fat Boy graffiti font that i have download it and placed on both on my CD cover.Then i used a other font for the writing part of the back cover.   







The name of the font i used for the DJ Pato is 'Fat boy graffiti' Font.

I've also used the Fat Boy graffiti font for the text.  

I have sketch the DJ Pato logo on my visual diary.   

I have sketch the back cover of the CD by using a fineliner at the end.

I have sketch the front cover of the CD by using a fineliner at the end.
