NTU Art & Design Book





......................................................................................................
This book was designed by Andrew Townsend for Nottingham Trent University and their Art & Design department. This is a nice piece of work. I love the custom design typeface on the cover, based on Avant Garde Bold, but adapted to have their individual textures. Sweet. This is an inspiring piece of work.

It includes multicolored sketching paper + stencils, and more. Sweet! I want one.

Moleskine Pocket Sketchbook

......................................................................................................
I have been seeking to encourage myself to draw more. So, I picked up a Moleskine Pocket Sketchbook to foster this creative movement. I forced myself to sloppily graffiti the first two pages (some what unusable anyway) with a reminder.

I chose the Moleskine Pocket Sketchbook because of the thicker paper and the size. Plus it has that Moleskine-ness that makes it lovable. And I chose the Sharpie Pen because it won't bleed and it acts and writes just like a Ultra-Fine-Point Sharpie Marker (which I love to draw/write with but usually can't due to the bleed factor).

These are all the sketches to date, with a few notes.

Whether you voted for him or note ... he's president, and this video is pretty sweet. And I love street art and graffiti. That is some serious talent.
