Eliza’s Pens

Milton Glaser “pushed everyone to always be drawing and sketching”, telling his students that: “Drawing is thinking.” This echoes Glaser’s comment to Design Week: “If you can’t draw as a designer, you’re in real trouble.” “Many people in graphic arts are incapable of drawing, and this limits them to layout, collage and typography,” he continued. “I come to each project with an open mind, then what emerges stylistically is something that is driven by the audience.”

From the Archive

We just came across this little gem while roaming through our hard drive and couldn’t resist posting. We think it dates back nearly a decade and was done by Mark Young in his 2nd year. Mark now works for Straight Forward Design - London.

Simple.

Snapshot

Here we feature a selection of year 2 and 3 moving image pieces, some are short stings and some show the project in their entirety. However one thing that they all have in common is their craft and attention to detail, plus the detailed story boarding and visual narrative.
