Handmade Visualisation Contest

Handmade Visualisation Contest

Have your work on the Cover (front wrapping round to the back) of the next issue Visualisation Magazine Volume 4 Handmade.

vism.ag/handmadecontest



This is the group to share your submissions for the contest to feature your work on the cover, a double page spread and a blog post on GOOD Magazine blog & vism.ag/blog.

Your work will be judged by Density Design, Visualisation Magazine & GOOD Magazine

I want to emphasize handmade techniques like, etching, screen printing, metal press, lino, mono printing, drawn, paper folding. the only digital element would be the capturing of the work for the front cover to send us, or taking printed elements and manipulating them by hand... to an extent.

Visualise any subject you like (try not to be too offensive, would like all ages to appreciate) and to consider the:

  • Complexity
  • Innovation
  • Culture


TO BE JUDGED
by Density Design, Visualisation Magazine & GOOD Magazine
End date: aiming for end of December.
Judging: Beginning of January

Book Cutouts


This Is Where We Live from 4th Estate on Vimeo.

These are very nice books visalised into a typographic territory through cutouts by Peter Cookridge & James Birdle (directed by asylum's ben falk & jos newbolt.

It is a stop motion film and features an entire city made out of books and covers from publishing house, 4th estate's titles.

they visualise scenes that cookreidge describes as 'in jokes' such as a man falling off a boat which is the scene from title book 'The Corrections'.

The production design is by Pippa Culpepper who crafts these beautiful artefacts.

from January 09 Creative review p10.

Quilted Information

Quilted Information


map quilts by leah evans


leah evans is a textile artist based in madison, wisconsin. she makes quilts that are far from traditional. each piece features a map which is hand-sewn in fine detail forming an almost abstract pattern. evans uses appliqué, reverse appliqué, piecing, natural and synthetic dyeing, needle-felting, hand printing and a variety of embroidery to make each piece. she takes the imagery from maps, aerial photography and satellite images. however she doesn’t simply translate maps onto here quilts, instead she creates imaginary lands uses elements from
different maps.

Also equally interesting, not by leah, is with aesthetics relating to DNA and the Gnome is here

a series of quilt designs, based on genetic code. a square, bisected into a
light & dark triangle, is rotated in 4 orientations to resemble the letters

C, G, A & T, the 4 DNA bases.
