Just thought that this landscape artist and in particular this image would be a great starting point for the serial planes project and for the Coffee Republic banner design (representing a form of seasonal change).

Mondi has pointed us all to www.litracon.hu Litracon is a material that transmits light, yet is still applicable as building material. Worth looking at for related interior designs.

The Paul Rand Interviews

‘The fact that someone is a good designer has certain limits, if you don’t read.’

The Godfather of Graphic Design. Frank, honest - whatever Rand said was the truth, if you agreed with him or not.

Everything I know About Design I learned from The Sapranos

Hi everyone,

I'm Graham Burton and I am the programme manager here at ncn, but possibly more importantly to you, I'm the course leader for the all things design. That said, you will probably see a lot more of the other staff as I am constantly being called away to meetings etc. Lucky me!

Anyway, here is a taste of what you might expect from me when I do take a class. It is never my intention to offend or upset anyone, and the work that I do is intended to foster debate.

The work that we [the course team]do is intended to challenge you, not only at a practical level, but also on an academic level. On that note, I look forward to meeting you all so that we can engage in a lively debate.

Everything I know about design I learned from the Sopranos

On client relationships: "When you’re bleeding a guy, you don’t squeeze him dry right away. Contrarily, you let him do his bidding, suavely. So you can bleed him next week and the week after, at minimum.”

We’re not guilty of bleeding our students dry, but I think we’re guilty of squeezing them. (stay with me here) Our projects, tutorial system, open office door policy, offers the students a chance to build on and improve their skills, and us as staff will keep offering greater challenges as they progress. You need to squeeze for 64 weeks minimum.
