The theme of our recent Digital Design Talks was originality — a mix of all that is wonderful and inspirational. Tim Shetz, a designer and instructor from San Francisco, started the talk with the topic, ‘Be An Originator, Not a Duplicator’. Then, our student, Dalhi Guzman Inzunza, presented his paintings and unique graphic compositions done at VFS. Finally, Boca (Marcos) Ceravolo, our alumni who specializes in motion, showed the students his latest project, ‘MTV Brazil’s 2011 VMB’.

Draw By Night #31 - Catnado
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?

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, and glue. 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!

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.

“With a brief as open as Digital Design’s final project, the only guideline I had imposed on myself was to create something I would enjoy from initial concept to research and definition to production to delivery,” Roger says. “I knew if I wasn’t absolutely sold on the concept, I would probably lose interest halfway through and inevitably experience an existential crisis.”
