I don't know if anyone might be interested in this, but we need a cover done by the end of the month for Edge of Eden - a disc of student created media. The design is going to be very open creatively so anything goes really. The template is located here www.discmakers.com/templates
The CD template that we will be using is the 4 panel, 2 CD eco-wallet. So just pass anything you like onto me and I will send it on to Nancy with the others so she can pick one that she likes.
Thanks,
John

Books Dru Talked about during class 4/8
Due for 4/15:
Pick also another chapter to read for class Design Issues, Citizen Designer, or Clean New World.
Also find a designer that you find very interesting to present in class (check syllabus).
"The History of Graphic Design" by Meggs has some more poster ideas for assignment 2.

Powers of Persuasion
http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/powers_of_persuasion/powers_of_persuasion_home.html
Some d inspiration.
There are a lot of sites that I have RSS'd that are pretty cool. I could spend hours, hours, and more hours looking at most of these sites. I apologize if you like them as much as I do (and you procrastinate even more because you are design surfing).
My favorite design site:
NOCOT This site is amazing. It updates usually about once a day and has the coolest stuff. Notcot.com has a lot of marketing and interior and exterior design. There are some amazing ads on there as well as very creative packaging. Very cool. Also, if anyone is interested in fashion design, sister site Notcouture is pretty neat. If you RSS Notcot.org you will be updated every time one of the sister sites is updated. Notcot.org just had a website featured: dyslexflix. :)
Yanko Design is a website similar to Nocot. I just recently found it. It seems as if it is focused more on design of the future.
Some good free sources: FreeVectors.net, SpoonGraphics, and ColourLovers. The first two have free designs while ColourLovers has some wonderful color harmonies for use. Pantone has also released color trend favorites for spring 2008.
Some typography sites I have flagged are: Typographica (recently they named the top typefaces of 2007) and a cool site with Kinematic Typography (this site takes famous movies and animates the dialogue--this would be a pretty cool assignment for motion graphics).
If you are ever interested in entering a graphic design competition try RSS'ing this site: graphiccompetitions.com
Cool ads: Coloribus.com-Advertising Archive
And some DIY stuff (done by other people of course): PostSecret and Etsy
Hopefully that will get some people inspired. They are pretty cool things.
Enjoy! :)
