Draw By Night #19 - Whoa Nellie

What happens when you mix a roomful of artists, giant pieces of paper, and a crazy theme? If you’re Digital Design instructor Myron Campbell, you turn those ingredients into Vancouver’s only bi-monthly drawing party. At Draw By Night (drawbynight.notsosimpleton.com) 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.

In the Typography course, Digital Design students are asked to "bring the characteristics of a typeface to life". Karen Poon chose Caslon Pro, a typeface created by William Caslon back in the 1700's. He created the typeface with short ascenders and descenders promoting a high contrast shape of the letters. Karen felt this contrast created a a neutral typeface that was perfect for telling stories. And what do most stories have in common?” The narrative arch — exposition, rising action, climax, falling action and denouement.

To make this typeface more tangible, Karen laser cut wood letters to make them tactile. She then positioned them as props in natural settings to bring her narrative to life.

The design industry is built upon the principles of composition and storytelling across all media. More and more, the lines of traditional mediums are blurring. As such, designers who understand mixed-media ideation are in high demand. This term 6 course focuses on the combination of digital and analogue techniques to efficiently produce stop motion animation for compelling narratives. This course is built on the principles of teamwork, organization, and experimentation; students work in teams, while contributing to a single class project.

As part of the team building component of Term 1 Project Management, first term students are each 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 analyzed their design for its strengths and weaknesses and the teams 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?
