What is a line?

Symmetry from Everynone on Vimeo.

This is a really nice film by Everynone called Symmetry, I think it fits in with my what is a line research and it shows the line and connection between things and the association we make. Its also really nicely made, more of their stuff here, http://www.everynone.com/

What is a Line?

Some examples I found in 'The Art of Looking Sideways' for the What is a line brief, just some basic ideas to start from and think about.

What is a line?

These are some of the artists sketchbooks that I like from the book from my reading list 'Graphic. Inside the sketchbooks of the world's greatest graphic designers'. This is the kind of thing I want to produce from my 'What is a line brief', sketchbooks exploring the theme using different drawing and collage techniques.

Reading List

These are my books on my reading list for the 'What is a Line brief'.

What is a Line?

“Agenda 2011″ by Swiss designer Julie Joliat.

This is a dot to dot book, it contains more than 50 connect-the-dot puzzles revealing famous art pieces, and other useful things like a wine chart.

What is a Line?

http://collectionaday2010.blogspot.com/

'This is a blog documenting a project that will span exactly one year, from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010. On each of those 365 days, I will photograph or draw (and occasionally paint) one collection. Most of the collections are real and exist in my home or studio; those I will photograph. Some are imagined; those I will draw or (occasionally) paint.'

I really like this blog, firstly I love collecting things myself and I love looking at what other people have collected and secondly  I think this is relevant to my brief for the first week of the 'What is a Line? project. I am looking at objects that are besides/behind each other, I am going to try something like this myself but I am going to illustrate my collections in my sketchbook.

Screen Printing

A nice illustration about screen printing I came across.

Book Transformations

This is the work of Kate Bufton, she takes old books and looks at how to manipulate and transform them to create them into something to admire.

Grids, Layout, Typography

Some information about grids and layout from 'The Fundamentals of Graphic Design', showing the different areas of a page and showing how different layouts work with the context of the publication.

Grids, layout, Typography

We had a grid and layout visual langugae session with Lorenzo, here is a bit more information I found when looking through 'The Art of Looking Sideways' which I found interesting.
