Draw By Night #28 - The Profound Squonzeling
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?

For the Communication Design 2 course, students are asked to design the cover and interior of a famous book in the public domain. Arcelia Ocana chose to visually tell the story of Jules Verne's Around The World In 80 Days. She used text from the book to illustrate a portrait of the author himself for the cover.

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!

“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.”

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.
