Speaking From Experience Text Tests

I'm layering my text by animating on Photoshop and then changing the composite mode this lets the background footage come past the black, leaving only the words to be seen on top of my original footage.

Here are some of my tests.



I have settled on White text, in order to do this the animation background is black and i change the composite mode to Lighten.

Sketch City

Sketch City is a graffiti drawing event in Manchester, the guys put on a really good night with live music, wooden boards on all the tables and they usually have a good supply of pens too. iv been down a few times and its similar to the Leeds best joined up night at the favishum. They also have a regular appearance of Mr Scruff and Resident DJs Jonny Dub, Neil Trenier and Ryan Hunn.

i always really like the promotional stuff that sketch city use, there have been some great illustrations, and i generally just like the style.

i suggest every one check it out...

What is Graphic Design?

Some people have a very clear definition of what graphic design is.... i am not one of those people, graphic design to me is a world of opportunities, i believe that absolutely anything can be made/designed under the title of graphic design. from advertising to kitchen knives.









The fundamental principle behind graphic design however to me is communication. generally visually communicating to the public whether that be by designing street signs or shaving into someones head.



The conventional ideas of graphic design have always lead me to dwell upon meaning and concept. i find thinking of the appropriateness of everything very stressful and prefer when designers just do what they like. literally design for designs sake.







I guess if we all carried on just designing what we wanted for ourselves we would all be out of a job
