However I whilst at the library two or shall I say three ideas came to my mind whilst browsing though the library. The piece was by a designer called 'Catalina Estrada Uribe' she is currently a freelance graphic designer/illustrator in Barcelona. There wasn't much information of her via the Internet but her work was on the cover the a great magazine called 'Computer Arts' (idea two).
This is an example of her work. I chose this because I have recently taken an interest into Manga drawings and though I would say that this isn't your original Manga it has some relevance to what I like. What I like about this image is that the imagery is simple yet to me its so powerful and the detail to the design looks as though it has taken a while to get to this final design. I also like the colours used within this design, they are quite neutral/flat but when blended together I feel that they really compliment each other.
As you can see from the image this is a screen print from the magazine 'Computer Arts' I have browsed through this magazine quite a few times trying to grab ideas, get useful tips etc and it has always helped me and that is why I think the magazine itself could be a possible project idea. There have been many pieces of work in here that has helped me get through college/previous university, so why not do a project on the magazine after all it is art isn't it.
My third idea has to be the 'company' that I have always had a passion for and that is Pixar.
I love everything about there designs and am already making plans to apply for an internship in the summer maybe doing this as a project will give me a really good chance to get into their good books if I actually do a project on them. It will show that I have researched into the company so I know what to do.
As for ideas for the project I was thinking along the lines of maybe a forum for potential future artists but from universities because over past spp seminars it has come to my attention that we students have no real business networks to help us into this world so maybe introducing a site that is specifically for young graduate designers could be one of my ideas. As to relate to my chosen artists it could maybe be for specific design like 'pixar' young animators the widgets could be links to other animating page that could help the young designers along. This same idea could apply the other two but to be honest at the moment I am not sure if I am going the right way about it or not, but we shall find out. And like I read in the Dan Saffer interview the best way to get a good design is to just keep designing and that is what I intend to do.
