The Sun Parody Apple’s iPhone Advert

December 13th, 2009 by Sean Smyth

Just saw The Sun’s (Newspaper) advert on T.V. just there. It’s a blatant parody of Apple’s iPhone adverts that are currently running every where (see below) but its very, very cleverly executed and very effective. I loved it.

I’m making a book!

November 17th, 2009 by Sean Smyth

Well, two actually. Firstly, I’m making a book of designers from various “isms” such as constructivism, futurism, dadaism, pictorial modernism etc.

I’ve decided to make the front and back cover out of metal (much like the Futurist’s manifesto) but maybe mix it up with some other “ism” just to add some more interest.

I’ve to design the inside pages as well which will be equally important. It’ll be tough to keep a consistency between so many different styles of artistry.

Secondly, I’m making a children’s book. I’m much less certain about this at the moment as the designer book is due first and so it’s on my mind the most.

I’m interested in a tactile book and maybe something “make and do” but I really have so set myself a target age group before I can start designing and this will also limit what I can actually do.

Enough for now, I’ll post photos when it’s done.

First Update in a long time - Book binding

November 13th, 2009 by Sean Smyth

Hey all! How are we keeping?

I’m using my new Android G1 phone to post this using an app called wpToGo which is pretty nifty.

College is mad buzy. I had a presentation yesterday that went well but I have like 6 big projects due in December. A Design magazine, a children’s book, a Flash game, a flash ‘yolkie’, a website and a 3d scene. Many a late night lies ahead!

I’ll leave you with a photo of a book that I bound and made myself in class today. It’s pretty cool if I do say so myself.

Talk to ya’ll again!

Edit//: I guess it’s not so good at uploading images. Oh well :/

Beautiful Design - New Wallpaper

July 6th, 2009 by Sean Smyth

I’ve made a new wallpaper for myself in photoshop. Unfortunately it’s only currently available in 1280 x 800.

Feel free to download and use it yourself and as always, criticism and critique are welcomed.

Flock returns!

June 29th, 2009 by Sean Smyth

Hey all.

Just a quick update. My Flock browser (which makes posting to the blog an absolute cinch) has miraculously started working again after crapping out on me while back.

So, as a result, expect some more updates than you have been getting.

I’ve got a few little projects on the go at the moment including hand painting, some Photoshop things along with some Illustrator so when they are done they will be posted. Just bare with me though, I’m working most days now so it’s rare enough that I get much time to myself.
