Future Travel

26 May 2014

Motion Graphics have become an increasingly important aspect of visual communication, and are now a regular feature of project-work on the HND Graphic Design course. The example here, by HND student Emils Blooms-Blumanis, demonstrates how versatile the medium can be as part of the design process.

Earlier this year Emils completed a work placement at Skyscanner, working alongside former Edinburgh Telford design graduate James Ferguson, who is Head of Design for the Edinburgh-based travel comparison specialists.  One task Emils was asked to do was to mock up a proposed design for a forthcoming Skyscanner project 'Future Travel' - a website showcasing Skyscanner's vision of the travel industry in a decade's time, 2024.  Using illustration, SVG graphics and wireframing, Emils put together this inventive demo in Adobe AfterEffects to simulate parallax scrolling for the website.



Using the demo as a guide, the Skyscanner team then set about developing the idea into a real product, and you can check out the remarkable results on the actual site, which Skyscanner launched recently at http://www.skyscanner2024.com/

Emils, a YCN winner in 2013, is currently working part-time at The Union, and his work will be on display at our Graduate Industry Night and Show at Creative Exchange on Thursday 29th May. More details can be found at www.etcshow.net. You can also get a sneak preview of work from the Class of 2014 on our Pinterest boards.


Unsung Heroes and Heroines

29 November 2012

We had some great presentations today by our HNC Year for their 'Unsung Heroes and Heroines' project. This was a typography brief issued by ISTD, asking for a typographic celebration of person or persons who provide a sometimes unrecognised and heroic service to modern society. Subjects included ghost writers, the Samaritans, the NHS, the Emergency Services, and War Veterans. The last presentation of the day came from Ross Turnbull, who put together this inspired movie clip for his unsung heroine - his Gran.




Creativity is Liquid

9 June 2012

3D animation isn't a regular feature on welovedesign, but Dave MacGruer's final project - an advert for the Hewlett Packard D&AD brief - is an outstanding piece of creative work and well worth checking out. Dave's ad was made using 3DS Max with the RealFlow plugin, and his own script and score.
