Tough typographic decisions

There's five that I like, personally. This one below, is perhaps my second favourite. It's 2) Ball Park. An extra bold copperplate script. Bold and fat.
For your pleasure and delight, here are 10 different typefaces to choose from.
There's also 3=) French joint equals with Park Avenue, and good old trusty 5) Garamond. The client is probably right when they say that the previous visuals were a little rough.
With a name like 1) Anarchistic, you're unfortunately branded. It was my first choice. But I agree, perhaps it is a little too carefree.

Another visual for Krishna

I may have gone too far. But, I love it. The flow, the dance, the mantra. The colours too, are gorgeous, bright and vivid.

I'll await the feedback.

Krishna music to work to


Surgeons, I hear sometime listen to classical music during operations, at least TV would have me believe. While I've been designing the Krishna Manila templates, I've had playing in the background some mantras and prayers.

Just like the colourful images, the music also seems full of life. My favourite is Indradyumna Swami's maha-mantra which just full of smiles. Get the real audio, and try some other the others too. traveling-preacherasis

I wonder if I should listen to cars if I was to do a car website, keyboards and people saying rhubarb rhubarb in open planed offices, when working on the Government Office's intranet, and the sounds of a photographer's studio when... Would that be mood music?
If it would be, I'd much prefer to listen to this happy chappie.

"Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu popularised the chanting of the holy names of Krishna all over India. The maha-mantra is a transcendental sound vibration which awakens love of God in our hearts and minds.

Hare Krishna devotees are seen chanting, singing and performing music in cities and towns all over the world. As with all other activities, music is considered a sacred offering to God."

Astonishing colours in Krishna Consciousness

kirtaneerasis I gotta say it, the image research for one of my current clients is just wonderful and so, so colourful.

I'm still a bit lost with all the names, and stories but I'm in draw dropping awe at the richness and brilliance of colour. I've only seen these sort of paintings in prints, where they lose their dazzle. On computer screens they really do jump out.

If you've got some time take a look at two galleries.

Manila themes for Krishna Consciousness in Australia

I've been busy, last few days, with Photoshop CS. Knocking up some sketches to get the thoughts flowing for a design for the Manila colony that will be the International Society for Krishna Consciousness in Australia.

It's not often I play with graphic design, but this project has been terrific. The imagery is, literally, glorious. I could go on knocking sketches up for ever. Alas, I have to stop, and await the feedback for the next, final stage, where I produce three, more finished visuals. Then, we'll start chopping them up into completed Manila themes.

One of my favourites.

Some pictures and things for my research

"The clay drum which is used in the street sankirtana is called a mrdunga. Srila Bhaktsiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, Prabhupada's spiritual master, said that this clay mrdunga can be heard for one or two blocks, however, the printing press can produce books which can go all over the world. So Srila Bhaktisiddhanta coined the term brhat-mrdunga meaning the greater mrdunga, to describe the printing press. So this book distribution is the greater kirtana."
