our grad show

see you there!

Many people call me fi. I guess it’s easier to pronounce, and I like it. Back in my nappy days, I proudly sported my thick absorbent underwear as much as I proudly sported this abbreviated moniker (well at least I don’t remember having any qualms of being named fiona).

So naturally, I’m quite fond of the fi ligature.

Just one simple glyph. It’s a name. It’s a ligature. It’s typographic. And my logo of sorts. So you can imagine how awestruck I was when my dear friend Rob pointed something out yesterday, “Is that the letter ‘y‘ I see??!”

Fucking hell yes.

I had these done in a rush to take on my trip to Adelaide. So there was not much of a chance to flirt with fancypants paper stocks and printing techniques. Nevertheless, I still like them and they serve their purpose (to make me feel professional!). Hopefully will get some nice fancy ones for the upcoming graduation show.

A small contribution for Brendan’s major project. A quick sketch of a two headed giraffe with a pig’s tail of sorts. I’m hoping the two heads will distract you from its hind legs.

I considered calling this blog, fibogs. But I’d thought I spare you the bad imagery.

Frankly I think it’s a brilliant name (if I must say so myself). Because essentially bogging and blogging give very similar results.

The recent weekend saw Daryl and I spend two nights in Adelaide. I couldn’t have put it any better than Daryl has so have a read.

We’re still on a high from the awards night and I’m still thinking about the wine I had at the cocktail party.

Starting this thing has been on my mind for a while now. Since I bought a little point-and-shoot camera from Japan. That was July. It’s almost the end of October. So this blog is very well due.

Hence, while on the topic of being out of date, old and probably done before; here are some photos from August. This is EyeSaw, part of Sydney Design ‘08. An exhibition in Omnibus Lane, Ultimo that successfully defined the difference between web designers and graphic designers.
