Alexandra Bruel
Paris based graphic designer Alexandra Bruel has been causing quite a fuss on the Behance network thanks to her quirky clay creations. This poster in particular was done for the Virgin Media Shorts contest, which focuses on up-and-coming filmmakers.
English monthly magazine Creative Review commissioned illustrators from the Handsome Frank agency to create a poster for each selected film. There's even some 'How to' pictures, which allows you to gain an insight into Alexandra's extraordinary work.
Andreea Niculae
Only joining Behance back in January of this year, Andreea Niculae is still a relative rookie when it comes to the creative network. However, from the looks of her graphic design portfolio, there's certainly plenty of potential here!
Based in Worchester, England, Andreea has already taken part in a variety of projects including the Little White Lies D&AD Student Awards as well as a number of Penguin cover designs.
Carrol Jerrems
Carol Joyce Jerrems (1949-1980), photographer, was born on 14 March 1949 at Ivanhoe, Melbourne, third child of Victorian-born parents Eric Alfred Jerrems, clerk to a stock-and-station agent, and his wife Joyce Mary, née Jacobs. Carol studied photography at Prahran Technical School in 1967-70, graduating with a diploma of art and design. An outstanding student, she won the Walter Lindrum scholarship (1968), the Institute of Australian Photographers award (1970) and first prize in the Kodak Students Photographic Competition (1971). After obtaining a certificate (1971) from the Technical Teachers' College, Hawthorn, she taught part time in Melbourne (Coburg and Heidelberg technical schools), Sydney (Hornsby and Meadowbank technical colleges) and Hobart (Tasmanian School of Art) until 1979.
From the outset, Jerrems was interested in the expressive possibilities of the photographic medium, declaring that she was 'an artist whose tool of expression is the camera'. She concentrated on photographing people; her subjects included her students, and her friends and acquaintances. Her first photographs were documentary in style, but by the mid-1970s the scenes she photographed were often contrived. She used a non-exploitative approach, based on the consent of her subjects. For Jerrems, photography had a crucial social role: 'the society is sick and I must help change it'. Her photographs were a means of 'bringing people together' and offered affirmative views of certain aspects of contemporary life. With Virginia Fraser, she published A Book About Australian Women (Melbourne, 1974), to which she contributed the photographs.
One-person exhibitions of her work were held at the National Gallery of Victoria (1973), the Arts Council Gallery, Sydney (1974), and the Australian Centre for Photography, Sydney (1976 and 1978). She also participated in numerous group exhibitions. They included 'Erotica' (with Henry Talbot) at Brummels Gallery of Photography, Melbourne (1972), 'Womanvision' at the Sydney Filmakers Co-op (1973), and 'Heroes and Anti-Heroes' (with Rennie Ellis) and 'Four Australian Women', both at the Photographers Gallery, Melbourne, in 1975 and 1978 respectively. Macquarie University, Sydney, commissioned her in 1977 to produce a folio of photographs that expressed 'the spirit of the university'.
In 1975 Jerrems was awarded an overseas travel grant from the Visual Arts Board of the Australia Council and an experimental film grant from the Australian Film Commission. Her 16-mm black-and-white film, Hangin' About, was completed in 1978. She also produced the publicity and production stills for In Search of Anna (1979), directed by Esben Storm.
For some years Jerrems practised yoga, which she also taught. The photographs she took in 1978 at the Satyananda Ashram, Mangrove Mountain, New South Wales, were among the last she exhibited. In 1979 she fell ill with Budd-Chiari syndrome. She died on 21 February 1980 at Prahran and was cremated. Her archive of photographs was donated to the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra.
Although one critic regarded her work as uneven—'she took a casual approach'—Jerrems's talents as a photographer were widely recognized. With her camera 'firmly pointed at the heart of things', she produced a body of photographs that symbolized the hopes and aspirations of the counter-culture in Australia in the 1970s. The retrospective exhibition, 'Living in the 70s: Photographs by Carol Jerrems', mounted by the N.G.A., toured Australia in 1990-91.

266 Geelong road Footscray
Unfortunately I missed the excursion, but when I researched about it it was quiet interesting and showed how the old school printing was done. the revolution of digital printing from 1450 to 2000's. I also reseached some images of old school printing machines on inernet which is quite intresting.
Letterpress printing is a printing technique that has become increasingly popular in recent years. Although it has been around since the 1400's, most young people in Dubai (and all over the world for that matter) have no idea what makes this type of printing so awesome, and what makes it such an attractive method of printing for your business or next event. The first thing to know is that letterpress is an entirely hands-on process that requires lots of time to print just right. Below is a picture of the Heidelberg Letterpress machine we use. Yea, it's old school. It's beautiful. It's raw engineering at its best.
Types of Wood
What a revelation. A plethora of fonts crafted in wood -- an enormous collection, vast in size and variety. This display represents the slightest, most fleeting hint of the impressive quantities on view. Plus great vintage linotype machines and other old-school tools dating to Hamilton's 19th-century origins as an impressive printing concern.
