Scriptographer

Monday, July 10th, 2006

Scriptographer is a plugin for Adobe Illustrator that allows the users to extend and create tools for the graphical medium. Its also very powerful with the under pinnings of Java and the flexibilty of javascript as the script engine.

Lots of interesting projects will be coming from this sweat little application in the future.
I’m currently doing alot of work using this plugin (not for commercial - although it would be interesting to see if it could be used) - I’ve got database interaction, sound control and a 3d engine as just some possibilities what can be done.

I used a very early beta version for my final master’s project and it was sweet then - so this new updated version is awesome.

Spainish Flyers

Monday, July 10th, 2006

Check out these Spanish pharmaceutical and healthcare ads on Flickr.

Originally published in magazines distributed to rural medical clinics or ‘Clínica Rural’ in the late sixties and early seventies, these vintage ads have just the right blend of Madison Avenue-inspired typography and psychedelic groovitude.

Via the ever great Veer.

Are you a Roadside Romeo?

Tuesday, May 2nd, 2006

‘Good-for-nothing guy’ is the English of India translation of the phrase ‘Roadside Romeo’

‘…Visitors to India are often surprised at the amount of English one encounters – in the street, peppered through Bollywood films and even in remote locales. Here, I used the colourful sign-writing tradition of India to capture the flavour of this localisation of the global spread of English.’

A typographic-based exhibition English of India from professor Meena Kadri of the National Institute of Design in Ahmedabad, India.

Good work.

Product Design SKILL

Thursday, March 16th, 2006

I have just finished a project with my friend Stephen Cheetham.

Just a simple portfolio to allow him to showcase his products as he looks for an opportunity.

Maybe you may know someone / someone who knows someone who may have a requirement for Product design Skill?

On the web geek side of things…

if you spot any bugs let me know, this is kinda hacked together for now, as you will see I have skillfully deployed a hybrid of css and image maps! :)
