it may well be a year away, but registration and deposits to secure seats is actually only a short while away. If you are one of our graphic design juniors or seniors, and want to be a part of this amazing experience then make a note of the key deadlines and keep an eye out for further posters.
A Pulitzer Prize finalist, this exhilarating play is perfectly timed to honor the recent World Cup victory by the U.S. Women’s Soccer team. Between matches, the members of a teen girls’ soccer club warm up, cool down, stretch, lunge, and reach, to navigate life as young women warriors. Outrageous dialogue, razor-sharp characterizations, and deep insight distinguish this acclaimed play. A dynamic, all-female cast is led by visiting director, Ginna Hoben.
An app with two roles: The first to be a clear, easy to use, interactive wayfinding system to help navigate the zoo and inform/educate. Secondly, to retain the users engagement outside of the zoo environment (so that it doesn’t get deleted, basically!)
(or ideally ‘CRADLE 2 CRADLE)
Always a good information design brief: Research the complete lifecycle of one of several consumer household mainstays, (refrigerator, microwave, desktop computer, laptop computer, or cell phone). From the raw materials required to manufacture it, to the end of use pathways(s) it takes – good and, usually, bad!
Presented as a pull out gate-fold spread for a magazine.
Simple challenge – take your existing resume/CV, and wherever possible turn all written content into predominantly visual information graphics. Add extra data where necessary to arrive at an accurate, clear to understand piece…. however, I always enjoy including an additional element of creativity to a brief. In this case, make it a paper engineered, tactile experience as well!
Great fun, and a huge challenge to visualize this one. Basically eight mini posters in one!
The ten-minute play has become a rite of passage for young playwrights, and this curated evening offers eight of the best from some of America’s most ingenious masters of the form. Performed and produced by an ensemble of Bradley’s newest theater students, these entertaining, short pieces offer whimsy, suspense, insight, and surprising depth.
Always a great introduction to Information Design and the translation of qualitative and quantitative data into a visual representation. The journey could have been a physical one, or a more abstract one – such as a shift at work.
Just like London buses – you wait for ages and then they all come at once. In this case we were spoiled by the visit of two amazing Visual Voices guest talks on consecutive weeks. First up was the amazing individual, my good friend – Justin Ahrens owner of Rule29. While he could have spoken at length about the wonderful creative work his company produce on a regular basis – the focus of his talk was about how ‘Design Matters’ and the impact and power of good that each and every one of us is capable of bringing, not just at a local level, but potentially at a global level too.
Second up, and equally talented where the ‘Scoundrels’ from Half Hazard Press, based just down the road in Bloomington IL. Their story of how they got to where they are now, and the range of clients they work with kept the audience enthralled – especially at the end, when they offered up HH t-shirts for the best questions (yes, I got one!)
Thank you Justin, Chris and Joel. Inspiring Visual Voices guests.
