ABIIT Zip Line Tours
On Friday 12th April 2013, a number of staff members and a few students journeyed to the Antigua Rainforest Zip Line Tours for the first social event planned by the institution. Though the numbers were few, those in attendance would testify that the time spent together was exciting and memorable.
Thank you to all those persons who came and we look forward to the next event and hope that more staff members and students would participate.

Inspiration: Flóra Borsi – Photographer and Retoucher
Hungarian photographer and retoucher Flóra Borsi has done some amazing work. Her humor is very engaging and if you don’t like her work, you my friend are borderline un-cool (this is NOT an opinion).
Below are two articles on some picture sets that she has created. The first one is called “Time Travel” where she masterfully inserted herself and her camera phone into popular historical. If you didn’t know better you would believe she was there.

This next one is an earlier set she created showing what would happen if Photoshop tools could manifest themselves in real life. I really enjoyed these.

Updated >> Maslow XXI C.
I don’t think it gets funnier than this. It also just goes to show how dependent society is becoming.
For those of you studying psychology at ABIIT this term, you will probably get the joke later on when you study Maslow’s Hiearchy of Needs.
Type + Portrait
The object of this project was to use type to form the distinct features of your face. Weather it be letters numbers and symbols, with skillful arrangement the designs can become amazing works of art
Presenting a new set of typographic self-portraits from graphic design students – another contribution to this year’s typography scene.

Typography: Animals and the Environment
Since typography is the big thing this term, I am posting some quick links to some interesting designs posted on Design Taxi by various designers.
The design concepts are genius and make you re-imagine the power of type as an image.
First up is the Animal Typography from Dan Flemming
And finally some Environmental Awareness Posters With Common Idioms from two design students James McNaught and Thomas Wightman
