Vimeo!

Hey guys, just wanted to do a quick little update.
I've just created my own Vimeo which all my animations/motion design work will be posted on so go check that out if your interested.
I've uploaded a small preview of the animation I am working on at the moment which is all about New Zealand and our identity. The part that's on Vimeo now is a section showing heritage and in particular, British heritage.
Enjoy!
By the way, the full animation should be completed by the end of the weekend.

Progress

Hey everyone, so thought I would update my small following on what progress we have made so far.
Since my last post we've come quite far and finished the bulk of our work to do with the redesign of our classroom.
Since we only have a few thing's we are waiting on in order to complete the class, we have moved on to the main goal of the project, the magazine. We've come up with a name, Passionfruit magazine and started on the logo design, which I have taken responsibility of myself and hope to have completed within the next few days.
We have also began to contact artists that we have been inspired by in hopes that we might get an interview for the magazine. In my case, I have chosen Jonny Kofoed, a graphic/motion designer from New Zealand, and Andy Mueller, an illustrator/photographer for various skateboard companies.
I hope to have and interview with these two great artists soon but in the meantime check them out here:

The Art Project

Hey everyone, so if have read the 'Bit about myself' section on the page, you'll know I, along with 20 other students, am involved in an Art Project at Fraser High School (Curriculum Integration Project). Our goal is to create a magazine ready for publishing in July of this year and a magazine to match.
If you want to know more about the project then CLICK THIS LINK HERE to be taken to the project's page and see the action for yourself.
Our most recent mission is to redesign our classroom with the help of a $500 budget.
