BIGGIES

Joshin it out..

Thursday, 27th September

I worked all weekend at Vidfest (Digital festival) in Vancouver so I could go to the Joshua Davis workshop.

It was defiantly worth it. The guy has a quick tempo and works his way through the workshop fast and efficiently.

First off he took us through an hour presentation of his work and inspirations. He showed us the way he works and what he stands for as a designer. He is a humble and “not so commercial as you think guy”.

Throughout the workshop he showed us that it is not necessarily best to jump right into actionscript 3 as there is valuable code to be used from as1 and 2.

He is not just all about randomly produced graphics. He showed us how to use it to your advantage as a designer. You compose the way the randomness works and lay it all out how you want it. Then you control the variables and print it out into Illustrator to mess with the 8000 bigillions of layers. “Why is that there? should it be a pixel to the left?”

Josh showed us some sneaky little hacks from the adobe creative suite that you would never have thought of.

He is an inspiration to me and I really enjoy his work. Hence the header & footer of my blog.
