Autolectron Concept Sketch

glyf — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 11:49:20 +0000

We are very proud of the fact that we get repeat business from almost all of our clients. Getting a call from a client who gave us one of our first commissions is just fantastic. This is just one of the first concept sketches for a new piece for Autolectron: the ingenious data management engineers who commissioned “Symphony of Steel”.

iPhone Sparring Deck

As part of our ongoing work for the Crazy Monkey brand we were asked to work on an iPhone boxing application. The app draws random cards from a Sparring deck to isolate combinations. The app can be used as an adjustable round-n’-rest timer, (apparently the first of its kind for the iPhone) so it is great for any type of timed rest and recovery exercise. The best thing is that the app can be downloaded free here!

We somehow arrived at an appropriately crazy wild west style full of stars n’ pugilist monkeys….

…enjoy the artwork.

Public Perception

We are really excited about Andy’s up and coming exhibition: “Public Perception”… that’s why we have been a little slow in updating our blog. Below is the official poster and the write up by Ricardo Fornoni our good friend and curator of the Resolution Gallery.
We will be posting more on the exhibition itself as well as our thoughts on the poster art medium. Watch this space!

PUBLIC PERCEPTION
(03.08.10 / 23.10.10)

“Art is man’s creation, yet words and pictures are also the form of his language.”
John Barnicoat (Posters – A Concise History)

We live in a world controlled by the media. Public figures manage themselves as brands. They play up to the images and react to the labels imposed upon them by the media.

Posters have always been one of the best ways to explore the status-quo in the political and social arena, even though advertising and propaganda were initially their main function.

We already have subconscious images in our minds of these public figures based on preconceived ideas and perception. In this exhibition the artist, Andy Robertson, has taken the essence of these perceptions and defined his graphic style and the look of each poster. The artist has portrayed recognisable figures in various ways. Some of his posters will provide an obvious angle, others will oppose the commonly held opinion, but most importantly, he is offering the viewer to see with a fresh, open minded perspective, with an added humourous twist.

This in turn, gains us an insight into who we think that we see and what they have come to represent.

Full steam ahead!

Things have been particularly busy at glyph this week, and unfortunately most of the concepts we have been working on are confidential. We figured it would be apt to post this (slightly more than a week old) train sketch, seeing as our studio is running full-steam-ahead!

Lil’ critters

These little guys were some character concepts for a kids division in a soap company!

Forest Scene

This is one of a series of ongoing concept artworks. This particular composition didn’t get chosen but it has already led to a private commission. A Perfect phluke-up!

Further developments to our UMT concepts. This is a great example of how the imagination and warped digital perspective can add a new dimension to your businesses interior. This was completed by Riki Rongo. Great job!

We get asked to create a whole bunch of cool things, here are some commissioned tattoo’s…

Tree orthographic

glyf — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 14:53:40 +0000

We are working on a 3d version of our tree – but before we could start to render it up we had to do some concepts and a few orthographic sketches – this is one of them!
