Draw By Night #42 (Oct '15) - DOMINIONS
What happens when you mix a roomful of artists, giant pieces of paper, and a crazy theme? If you’re Interactive Technologist and Instructor Christopher Quine, 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.

Digital Designers change the way people see and interact with the world – from the title sequence that brings an audience into a filmmaker's world to the music video that launches a new band; from the brand and identity that makes one product stand out from its competitors to the online sites and experiences that change the way we think about the web. The Digital Design program at VFS will give you the processes, tools, and techniques to start your career as a professional designer.

For her graduate project, Marisa Torres created Ecologiks, a line of eco-friendly school supplies. Made with recycled and post-consumer materials, Ecologiks presents an alternative to unsustainable, generic/brand name, or otherwise dull school supplies. The brand is inspired by and manufactured for children. The package offers a full range of products — mainly school supplies — such as notebooks, pencil cases, calendars, and other stationery.

Wild Dog Design we're commissioned to design the iPad app interface for a revolutionary new book publishing venture, titled BOLD for publishers Kogan Page (launch 6th April 2011).
‘BOLD - how to be brave in business and win’ is the story of how 14 brands
have challenged conventional thinking in their markets. The book is
accompanied by a free iPad app. The app, in particular, allows the reader to
analyse and compare their own brand with those studied in the book.
More significantly the free, premium content included in the app serves to
promote the book while also enabling readers to unlock individually
recommended chapters that can be purchased and read from within the app.
In addition the reader can order a hard copy of the book directly, whilst being
able to sign up for relevant courses or events; thereby elevating the process
into a truly engaging and social experience.
Wild Dog’s creative approach was to embrace fully the project title and opt for
an appropriate colour palette, typographical and graphical icon interface that
complemented the BOLD brand vision. It was crucial that the user believed in
the message based platform, if they were going to be successfully drawn into
and engage with the message. The iPad platform proved a wonderful format
and accommodating space in which to achieve this process.
Ultimately most dynamic data is in essence a search/results equation.
Spacebar’s aim and brief was to transform content into an exciting experience
online. Therefore the very process of the reader’s engagement worked as a
design advantage. By taking the Q and A elements, one that we are all
familiar with from self-help books & magazines, we were able to turn the
publication into a rich personal and interactive activity. A process which will
hopefully get people talking and sharing with each other.
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.

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 Gamification of Life is a master class in providing rewarding experiences based on understanding game play systems, and storytelling.

In Interactive Design 3, students are asked to select from one of three client briefs to develop a social change project. Cherie, Michael and Jay chose to develop a mobile application to assist with earthquake preparedness. The application offers device features, such as RSS, GPS tracking and "bounce location" to sustain user correspondence during disaster relief efforts.
The team divided the roles and responsibilities to tackle strategic review, competitive analysis, moodboards, user experience, information architecture and interactive design.

Lithops fabric pattern in pink, aquamarine and teal printed by Spoonflower on linen-cotton canvas. Also available on a pink background and in greens on a purple or orange background.
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?
