Helvetica!
Was never really a huge fan of fonts or choosing fonts to be honest. Was one of those, do the design, need font, scroll through fonts, see what looks good... total lack of creativity attached, but with some thought and intention behind a font, a lot can be done with it.
Five minutes spent with Helvetica itself left me with...
...nothing too major, just toying around with a name but a bit of lining and colour and i was pretty satisfied.
The whole idea of it i have now found interesting. Looking forward to getting into the Visual Communication "Hot,Cold,Bright,Dark" assignment.
Developing an idea at the moment, but looking forward to trying to fit all the pieces together while being excited over my new piece, type!
Also, love the idea of how used Helvetica is aswell. Would have seen it for years but never copped it was a usable font, but the use of Helvetica for "Jackass". Even mocked up in photoshop to see if it was the same!
it really was!

Dave Hill Photography
This guy is just top drawer. Combining what appears to be HDR, multiple shots, multiple lights and some secret personal techniques!

To me, it just has so much character and feels like more than an image, a moment from a scene of some sort. With so much depth and detail, the lighting, the atmosphere, it's all great!
The closest thing i've come is...
Just sharing this since i find it pretty inspiring.

To Arthur!
Last Thursday, 24th September 2009, was an amazing holiday of a new saint. Well it wasn't really a holiday, and technically there was no saint involved. Actually, it was more of a completely fabricated idea created by the brilliant advertising machine, Diageo, that was executed with such military precision that at no point was this new "holiday" questioned.
Not complaining though, I had a great time. On my way in to the festivities I saw Eamon Dunphy having just been married getting his photo taken with all the bridesmaids, saw a top drawer band busking at the top of Grafton Street and then the evening was set up even more through a brilliant example of "Arthurs Day".
It appeared that somewhere near or around Bruxelles, if it wasn't Bruxelles, was on fire. With this, two fire engines, two ambulances and another fire engine shot up Grafton Street dividing the late night shopping crowd in half and made their way to the smokey source. However, instead of being greeted with a sense of emergency, a sense of "uh oh, what is wrong? am I in danger?", the newly accumulated crowd in the smokey surroundings of Bruxelles, simply turned to the emergency crews, launched their pints into the air and echoed, "To Arthur!".
The threat of buildings burning down around them wasn't going to ruin a night of cheap pints on a holiday we made up. Brilliant!
To whole idea was cleverly summed up when an Arthurs day cohort turned to me, laughing with their pint in hand and said,
" ha, what are we like? 'St. Patricks day is too far away, so lets just make up a day!' waaaay! "
