Draw By Night #33 - Home Sweet Home
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, 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.

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?

THANK YOU®, a motion graphics studio based in Copenhagen, were so taken by the VFS grads who have worked there, that they took time out from a business trip to the Pacific Northwest to visit VFS Digital Design students and share their work for MTV and Swatch. The talk was delivered by partner Örn Ólason, who described the creation of the company as a meeting of “men of few words, who love visuals and love animation”. The work he showed certainly supported this: a series of campaigns for Swatch that started with 3D renderings of the products and extended those images into motion graphics, videos, and even store design.

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.

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.

Roger Dario’s graduate project — “Standard Scientifical Industries” — is silly. With a product line that includes Hitler Assassination Kits, Folding Quarantine Chambers, and Deus Ex Machina in a box, it’s satiric and inspiring. It’s as inventive as it is nostalgic. Part Nickelodeon, part Adbusters, part 1950s propaganda, it’s a shining testament to Roger’s skills and voice as a designer.

In the Branding 1 course, students are challenged with positioning a new or re-branded product in a crowded marketplace. Through research and analysis, each student develops a strategy and concept, the logo and all of the assets for various applications of their brand.
With his project 'Skewers', JL Lum developed the concept and brand for a modern and hip approach to "street meat".

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.
