Nothing Inappropriate: Death's Payroll
http://craiglaingbagd.blogspot.com/2009/04/deaths-payroll.html
Wednesday, 29 April 2009. It's part of being a Graphic Designer to keep up to date with current affairs, but even if you are reluctant to read the news it is hard to avoid the current furor over 'Swine Flu'. The government are set to be sending out an information pack to every UK household within three days, and when I heard this it got me thinking - wouldn't that be a great brief? I'm going off on one a bit here, but the news that Labour are sending out a print campaign to advise on Swine Flu just got m...

Nothing Inappropriate: Connery's Ark
http://craiglaingbagd.blogspot.com/2009/07/connerys-ark.html
Monday, 27 July 2009. Aside the summer brief, my time has been taken up with;. I knew I'd become lost without a full, heavy, get-stuck-in brief with a deadline that makes building the 2012 stadium seem easy. [Do not complain about my referring to the current briefs as not 'get-stuck-in'. Complain that I'm not going on about it.] So, whilst still in Leeds, at about 5am, I decided I wanted to trace something in Illustrator. So here it is. Visual Language: Smoking Kills. First idea, rejected.

Nothing Inappropriate: Orchestral Maneuvers In The Park
http://craiglaingbagd.blogspot.com/2009/05/orchestral-maneuvers-in-park.html
Friday, 8 May 2009. Orchestral Maneuvers In The Park. CRAIG ALEXANDER LAING MANIFESTO 2009. I feel I have evolved as a designer a lot since September, it would seem as the country's financial state gets worse, I get better. When I started this course, I was a lot of things. Arrogant, confident, very fixed in the way I work, not particularly reliable and also very limited, skill wise. At least in comparison to the designer I am now. . Royal Mail weren't too interested. As usual, timekeeping is an issue wi...

Tuesday, 11 August 2009. I got bored so I edited a photo for my Facebook profile. This kinda thing is all over the place right now - and it's really clique, but after seeing it everywhere I wanted to know how it was done. When I get bored, I do a bit of the ol' Graphics.

Monday, 14 September 2009. I was looking for a decent piece of type production software online when I stumbled onto this. If you're going to give advise on type creation, don't use Comic Sans.

Wednesday, 2 September 2009. Opportunities' by the Pet Shop Boys is the number one song in my itunes list of 25 most played tracks. On that note, I looked up the designer behind the packaging for 'Pop Art', and found out it's this guy. Even if you don't dig flamboyant 80s synth pop, it's worth a peruse.

Wednesday, 9 September 2009. Since the last time I shared a pearl of Graphic Design wisdom on here, I've been working on a website with my friend and business cohort, Afro. Basically, we're selling sets of pre-made graphics that other websites can use to remind visitors to 'tweet' about their content. I think that's probably a pretty bad explanation, but see for yourself. http:/ www.retweetgraphics.com. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Watford, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom.

Saturday, 12 September 2009. Once again, I have freed my lance. This time I've been working on a layout for a newspaper subscription website [I think.]. I've come up with the design, and Afro is going to slice it up in wordpress to make it tick. The text is babble, but you get the idea. Hopefully. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Nothing Inappropriate: May 2009
http://craiglaingbagd.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, 17 May 2009. I Shot A Man In Reno. Just saw this online, thought it'd be positively spiffing for a title image on an 'Anatomy of Type' seminar. Friday, 8 May 2009. Orchestral Maneuvers In The Park. CRAIG ALEXANDER LAING MANIFESTO 2009. I had very little knowledge of Illustrator, thought that doing 'hand made' graphic design was. Royal Mail weren't too interested. I also want to improve my skills with things like print/book binding, photography, video (and video editing) as well as software. T...
