Reviewing a Helpful Blog


I have chosen to look at a blog run by a Mr Tony Pritchard, who is a course leader on a Diploma Design for Visual Communication. He uses his blog to showcase design ideas that he uses in his teaching.

"My teaching and design philosophy relates to my belief that an understanding of the fundamental design principles such as visual language (colour, form, structure, composition, etc), typography and information design is essential to being an effective visual communicator."

(Tony Pritchard)

He posts videos he has made (posted via vimeo) of art techniques and talks about how he uses them in his teaching, ranging from videos looking at people and their sketchbook work to people working on their pieces ready to showcase in art exhibitions



This is a video revolving around 20th century typography he has made and it looks at the concept that typography is constantly developing.  I think this will be a good blog to look at and research for my own teaching purposes due to it being well formatted, very informative and professional.
