(Read more about the project here). This was end of last year, now its time to show the world what is being produced in the 'occupied room'. The students have set up a new blog to show their daily, weekly and monthly output. There are also several events and workshops happening in the room. Bookmark it and check it out for regular updates. www.raumbesetzung.de 11 April 2012 Jumbo Jumbo  Holger went over to Zurich to meet old Mind Design colleagues and interns. As tradition demands we all went to eat the Jumbo Jumbo Cordon-Bleu (a massive piece of meat stuffed with cheese and ham) in the Rheinfelder Bierhalle. As in previous years Alex finished first, closely followed by Holger and Martin. Patrik and Sarah dropped out for ethnical reasons. Adrian lost due to being jet-lagged. 15 March 2012 Tea Time  We received the first samples of the tea packaging range we designed for Villandry. All the old branding will be replaced over time with the new re-design. 15 March 2012 Miles  Time to introduce Miles, our adopted studio dog. He actually belongs to the neighbours but he regularly pops into the studio to jump onto the beanbags, prevent us from concentrating on work and of course search for food. We might actually have given him some in the past. 13 March 2012 Student Visit  We were pleased to welcome a group of Buckinghamshire students into the studio, we talked the students through a couple of current projects as well as a slightly older one. 01 March 2012 Back to Uni  Romilly went back to university yesterday, this time as a guest lecturer.

Today we tested the size of the tenants board on location. From now on we need to start looking for about fifty fairly straight pieces of washed up wood. 10 February 2012 Random Words from Random Projects  Today our intern Elise designed a little postcard for a project by Random Projects . The idea is to create a postcard in response to a randomly generated word related to the upcoming Olympics. Our word was 'Champion'. We used Wim Crouwels font from his classic Hiroshima poster. A true champion of graphic design. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 |
