Andrew Byrom, one of the presenter, showed his oversized business cards design, which is quite impressive. But he said, after doing all these oversize cards by using all kinds of technics, his realized that, email address/phone number/job position are all optional elements on a business card. a successful card just have to let people remember who you are. In the end of his presentation, everyone got a card on which says:
"I met Andrew Byrom in Moore's Deli at the Pecha Kucha Night around 8:30pm on Thursday May 26th, 2011. Even though he gave a mediocre presentation on business cards – and I will have lost this card before I get home tonight – I will always remember him and keep him in mind when I need a great graphic designer."
This is smart self-promotion and he will be surely remembered.
Michael Lejeune, the director of Metro design studio, gave a very positive promotion about the Metro system. He showed images like: cars stuck on freeways but Metro runs fast... Those images might persuade car users switch to use public transportation. But I believe service is the key to keep customers.
The two artists that inspired me, as I remembered, they are Jessica Fleischmann and Lorna Turner. They are both designers but they presented their photography works rather than their design.
(Jessica Fleischmann)
Those photographs have a sophisticated feeling...showing a moment of living and death.
Lorna Turner said that when doing photography one should always be honest to your feelings. Memories is very important, we can never recreate the scene we've seen and bring it back. photography is a way to capture the fixed, short instant. Photography is a connection with hand, eyes and heart.It is a way of life.
