A look at my latest column in Interrobang, Fanshawe’s weekly student voice paper. I haven’t been able to stop listening to John Mayer’s Battle Studies, and I think if you gave it a chance, you wouldn’t either. See it on page 9 at: ( http://bit.ly/5JbzMc ).

Viewed in class last week, abstract expressionist Robert Rauschenberg discusses one of his most controversial pieces, for which he approached artist Willem de Kooning to erase one of his works of art, very fascinating.

This week, my latest column for the Fanshawe Interrobang, the student voice paper, I take a look at Dave Grohl and his projects past, present, and future. It is on page 9, the front of the Lifestyles section, which you can check out here: ( http://bit.ly/23pBKo ).

I tell you, I get to see some of the coolest films and projects in my Creative Concepts class.

My latest column iFanshawe College’s Interrobang, the student voice newspaper – it’s page-eight-tastic! Seriously though, staying strong on the first page of Lifestyles. A-click here: ( http://bit.ly/266ixw ).

In this outtake scene from Gary Hustwit’s film Helvetica (2007), graphic designer Massimo Vignelli discusses the process to designing the tube map for the New York subway. It was probably cut cos it didn’t have a lot to do with the font in particular, but it is a cool look at a designer reflecting back on early work.

Whew, another week of homework, late nights, and thumbnails is over. I feel especially tired, as possibly it’s the effort and sleeplessness from the last nine weeks accumulating.

At any rate, things in the term are starting to wrap up, as I’m beginning the last handful of projects for the term. For the most part, I’m pretty excited about everything, and getting as much from classes now as before. Actually, probably more.

Totally checked this film out in Creative Concepts on Wednesday – it’s a 1982 short film that Tim Burton produced with the help of the Walt Disney machine. It’s delicious.
