Here’s a little sting I’ve made, experimenting with new plug-ins we’ve got here in Multimedia. It was done with 3DS max and the plug-in Particle flow box 2 and put together in After Effects.

So the end has come, and after a month of selfless fluff-growing it’s time to say goodbye to our lovingly nurtured face-space. We’ve managed to raise over £250, supported by a fantastic moustachioed cupcake bonanza, and donations continue to rolling in for our Best ‘Tache Vote. Click through to view the final results of our top-lip works of art… and don’t forget to give what you can for such a worthy cause by visiting the Movember website.

The Lowry exhibition opened at Nottingham’s Lakeside last week – great paintings and drawings, very atmospheric portraits and a reminder of Manchester and Salford landscapes that have largely disappeared. It’s also free!

Maggie’s Centres are places where people affected by cancer are welcome whenever they need support – from just being diagnosed, or undergoing treatment, to post-treatment, recurrence, end of life or in bereavement.
A £3million centre has recently been completed at the City Hospital Campus at Nottingham University. The architect, Piers Gough CBE, was a personal friend of Maggie Keswick Jencks, and is famous for his bold and imaginative architecture. Nottingham born Sir Paul Smith has designed the interior.

Typo 11 Places. Not really about type or places

I attended the Typo London conference last week. The event which hosted a wide range of speakers from Neville Brody to Lawrence Weiner, had the theme of ‘Places’ but to be honest was much broader than that. It was brilliantly facilitated by Erik Spiekermann and Adrian Shaughnessy (among others) and was easily the best conference I’ve been to in some time. One of the best things about it was that most of the speakers stayed for the duration and watched the other presentation, which created a real feel of community.
It’s the first time this event has been held in England, having previously been in Berlin and judging by the feedback from everyone, it looks like it’s going to return to the capital next year. I will be putting together a presentation covering all the amazing talks which will be shared here but for the time being here’s additional reading about it from Creative Review and Design Assembly.
