Figure: The last project I was working on, making four sets of two playing cards based on theme 'anger' with self-created alphabet also based on theme 'anger'.
Its a lot warmer today. It is overcast but isn't as chilly as two days ago. I might sound stupid, but 1st September is the official beginning of Spring in New Zealand, and since yesterday, the air got heaps warmer. Seriously. It is a crazy place. The weather follows routine. Even the big clocks on bell towers work!
Everything is so orderly in a very annoying way in Christchurch. (see, I don't like my negativity)
"A human soul needs a little disorder in its symmetry."
Cars actually wait for you to cross the road no matter what the colour of the traffic signal is. That you are obligated to grin back in a polite way at the drivers. Not so in India, as more than 1/6th of the world's population know. Maybe it is a little too much disorder (in India) that will do more harm than good to a human symmetry, but then, when one has spent twenty years in disorder and gets a brief stint of a little bit of order, the transition is sudden.

We are embarking on a new project today.. about type face. And now we're looking at demos by some of the world's best designers for types.
Amazing. Blows my mind. Blows my mind. My mind's still sore from the explosion that happened in my head.
I stare at my eMac screen. I have a desktop screen of a European guy, with cool dreadlocks standing with the background of Kanchengjunga. And some random illustrator and photoshop files littered all over the screen.
I just completed my last project. As I said we are embarking on something more to do with a publications design, something that I really really love.
The previous one (Figure) was good. I liked it a lot.
