Progress… The students are coming up with all these sketches and my job is to outline them so that they are placed on the actual board game. There still has to be so much more to do. The students are trying to picture Valletta with what they know about it. I wonder what else they’ll come up with!

Meanwhile, another group of students are coming up with many trivial questions to use for the game….

Since the project involves students, they need to have their mark. Their input for brainstorming and idea generation has been crucial till now but their visual input has not yet been visible.

I am taking their actual sketches and translating them digitally to their most faithful. This may mean going back some steps by removing stuff I have done already and make them re-do it in their own way.

First preliminary vector designs of the board game. The board game is being based on existing Trivia games but with a little humorous twist…

All ideas are being generated by the students themselves while I translate them in a more polished manner. Rome (Valletta) wasn’t built in a day - although design software has become very user-friendly and easy to grasp, there are a lot of little professional details that cannot simply be taught in a one-and-a-half-hour lesson a week to students.

Next project in the pipeline… Well it was happening since last summer but it’s now that it coming into shape.

The project inolves creating a trivia board game in collaboration with 12 year old students. The theme is the capital city Valletta and Malta…

Matisse freehand paper-cutout technique. It’s harder than it looks. It’s not always “I could do that”.

"It is normal for genuine leather to have its own wrinkly pattern after use."

Sat, 12 Jan 2013 14:24:55 +0100

“It is normal for genuine leather to have its own wrinkly pattern after use.”

- From the instructional papers of a phone leather slip case:

“In order to retain the most organic characteristics of leather with its’ texture and colour saturation, we minimise the amount of surface treatment to the lowest possible. The leather first appear to be stiff; however, as time goes by it will begin to break into softer texture with its’ own unique natural folding marks like human skin. It is normal for genuine leather to have its own wrinkly pattern after use.”

Something is brewing up for the March Milkshake project! What you see is a full size keyhole outline (1x2m). I need to see the actual size of the piece. Inside we (me and Glen) are planning to have text, done by Glen himself. Follow him here.
