Rethink Scholarship

Comments Off on Rethink ScholarshipGraphic Design

The Rethink Scholarship is an $18,000 scholarship for aspiring art directors and designers to Langara College’s Communication and Ideation Design program. The winner will also receive a 3-month internship with Rethink.

Contestants are asked to fill a sketchbook in any way they want, or take it apart and rebuild it into something totally different. The book should both demonstrate who you are while the same time showcasing your abilities as a creative. The sketchbook should not exceed 250 pages in length but bear in mind that a few great concepts is better than a pile of mediocre ideas.

Labzeus

Labzeus is the graphic design work of recently graduated but deeply life-experienced Denver based designer Brian Neumann. I am hoping to work with Brian on future projects as I embark on initiating the creative service branch of Changethethought. Brian has worked diligently to improve himself and his skillset and has grown by leaps and bounds since I first met him when we was in the middle of study. He is currently interning at Cactus here in Denver. I can say with certainty that he is also a really great guy and an equally great person to work with. He is currently accepting both freelance and considering full time opportunities in Denver. So you might want to try and snatch him up before I can figure out a way to keep him busy.

Michael Cina Associates

Comments Off on Michael Cina AssociatesGraphic Design

trueistrueagain.jpg

Michael Cina is a long time inspiration to many of us in the modern design field. His work for We Work For Them was an influence on a lot of young designers in the last 10 years. WWFT also eventually lead to the start of the online storefront You Work For Them that many of us have purchased a book or poster from at one point or another. Michael is making some moves in 2010 and returning to his first love, design. He has recently updated his personal experiment depot True Is True for the first time in a long time. He has also launched Michael Cina Associates where he will be taking on design projects in 2010. It will no doubt be exciting to watch for the result of his efforts and we at Changethethought wish him the very best of luck in his new venture.

Film in the Blanks is an ongoing experiment to abstract and/or reduce film posters. It’s a very interesting study in graphic design and some of the results are a lot of fun to look at. See if you can guess what movie each poster represents.
