Draw By Night #35 - The Game Plan
What happens when you mix a roomful of artists, giant pieces of paper, and a crazy theme? If you’re Artist and Instructor Kristina Fiedrich, you turn those ingredients into Vancouver’s only bi-monthly drawing party. At Draw By Night, artists can work collaboratively on pieces, or by themselves on their own section. The only emphasis is on getting everyone drawing. Participants are encouraged to use Twitter or other social media to discuss the event and post pictures, allowing real-time engagement with the drawing community. They can also post ideas and comments that are often integrated into the next event.

At VFS Digital Design, we teach agile project management practices throughout the entire year. And what better way to refresh everyone's recollection of the 9 knowledge areas (scope, time, cost, human resources, procurement, risk, quality, communication and integration) than with a game!
In Term 4 Project Management 4, students were divided into four teams and briefed on a project they had just "won”. Using index cards and post-it notes the students were asked to record the goals, objectives, work breakdown structure including time allotted for major tasks, resources, and the risks of their respective projects and post them on the wall.

As part of the Term 5 elective, Experimental 2D Graphics, we spend one entire class in a room with no computers. We bring all sorts of materials together like paint, magazines, pencils, markers, glue and we even had a sewing machine. Each student uses all these materials to create hand-made textures to scan-in for later use in their digital work.
This exercise is one of many that suggests that not all answers to visual problems lie behind your computer screen. Sometimes you need to get your hands dirty!

It’s been about 12 years since Ryan Honey walked the halls of VFS as a Digital Design student. After graduating, he made a big splash as the Creative Director at Heavy.com before founding Buck, a production-based creative agency, where he now serves as a Creative Director in their Los Angeles office. You’ve seen his work in commercials, network promos, and experimental motion graphics for companies like Burger King, Coke, Google, Nike, and the NBA.
Ryan spent three days with us as an Artist in Residence sharing his experience, advice, and thoughts through one-on-one chats, presentations, and a keynote speaking appearance at Appetizers.

As part of the team building component of Term 1 Project Management, students are given a box of dollar store objects and a mission: keep a marble moving along a course for as long a time as possible, with it ending up falling into an egg cup. Armed with plastic necklaces, dominoes, bendy straws, a roll of toilet tissue and other priceless objects, teams compete to create the best design to meet the goal. Upon completion, the teams analyze their designs for strengths and weaknesses and process key team dynamic components — How were design decisions made? How were disagreements resolved? How was leadership determined? Did team members contribute equally to the vision and how did they each fare when it came to implementation?

2D Graphics 3 is an elective course that combines techniques from both Illustrator and Photoshop. The class analyzes and deconstructs current styles and trends, such as “Street Art” and how the movement has expanded beyond graffiti into things like yarn-bombing, wheat-pasting, stenciling, sticker art and LED art. The students then emulate this style.

The Love Chart was so popular that Inkbloom (www.ink-bloom.com) decided to create an entire collection of 18 different eye charts with different sayings including Mother's Day, Father's Day, birthday, graduation, etc. It's a limited edition so it won't be available for long.
Mother's Day theme was used for these colorful cards.
In the 2D Graphics 2 course, students were asked to create a vector self-portrait using Adobe Illustrator. They could chose to do a headshot or full body, in any pose that interested them.
These are samples of some of the best work.

For her graduate project, Michelle Lam wanted to inspire other designers and lay people to be more attuned with design through an increased awareness of the importance of typography in a fun and easy-to-understand way. Enter Graphos, a unique set of playing cards. Each card from the deck of Graphos Playing Cards explains a specific area of focus in typography. All spades highlight on the importance of “anatomy”; hearts on “classification”; clubs on “glyphs”; diamonds on “type setting”. Fonts are focused on sans serif, serif, script and decorative.

For his Branding 2 project, Robert Soo chose to brand the identity of a Vancouver waterfront boutique hotel. Like the land itself, the Loft logo is dynamic and mutable, capable of varying moods. The logo makes use of a variety of backings drawn from landscape paintings in the public domain that capture the majesty of the local environment. These various paintings are unified together by the Loft symbol within them that uses the paintings as a frame. The brand package consists of competitive analysis, moodboards, environment design, logo design and miscellaneous branded applications.

Simon Vieira's graduate project, Diligo, is a social change website that allows people to collaborate, socialize, and invest together in ideas that will change the world in a positive way. The site enables individuals to post an initiative and have the public rate it. The higher the rating, the more exposure the initiative gets.
The branding effort for this project included the identity itself, the brand guidelines booklet, packaging, advertising, stationary and the website itself.
