Portfolio site is up!
Jul. 7th, 2009 | 10:08 pm
I'll be making some tweaks to it but it's pretty much there: http://www.timdenee.com/

I find it a little cringe-worthy because it's all my own work, and having that many of my creative flaws in one place makes me uncomfortable. But it has to be done, and now it is. Hurrah! About fucking time. I've been talking about putting up a portfolio site for years!

why travel the world when you can visit newtown

This one is kind of original! Well, it's not a recreation from the show like the others, anyway. The slogan is, sadly, real. Complete with lack of a question mark. Amazing.

social change paper
Jun. 1st, 2009 | 08:54 pm
Brief was to choose a "social issue", research it, and respond to it through visual communication. I chose media consolidation in New Zealand, and this is the result:

Twenty Sleeps
Apr. 23rd, 2009 | 11:13 pm

My major project for my final year is an investigation of books and book cover design. I won't get into the details of the whole project, since it's rather broad, but one part of it is just simple experimentation. To that end, I decided to set myself the task of designing twenty different covers for Raymond Chandler's The Big Sleep (chosen pretty much at random; I just like the book and it was on my bedside table when I thought of the project). It's done now! You can find the whole set here:

A freebie. Illustration and copy was supplied, but the original art (some soviet relic) was really low-resolution and I couldn't find a good copy online, so I redrew it myself in Illustrator. That had the added benefit of allowing me to more smoothly blend the type and illustration. Then I chucked a bunch of textures and shit on the top, that's always fun.
The original art, if you're curious:

Infographics, assignment one: report
Mar. 25th, 2009 | 11:41 am
My report is done! This is the first part of a three-part infographics paper, and it's a fairly dry and concise research document that shows the problem, causes, and solutions to the native endangered kokako species (everyone chose a different species). Anywho, I'm pretty happy with it. Very minimalist, but I hit all the notes I wanted to hit.

There's more photos on Flickr! Ch-ch-ch-check it out
This is a kokako, incidentally:

Doodles from class today

I've been getting into these symmetrical crest things as a form of doodling. They're like my own private rorschachs, insights into what's in my brain. Afros, greasers, shotguns, russians, birds, flowers, etc.

Haven't posted in a while but I assure you I've been hard at work with university stuff. I have to say, this is probably the most satisfying semester I've had so far. A great way to end! I'm doing four fourth-year papers and I feel energized by each of them.
Anywho, so far it's mostly been a whole lot of theory and research and presentations, not much actual design stuff. Here's a taste:


( a couple of other projects under the cut )
