Since saturday we have been structuring and preparing our documents for the public presentation which will be held this thursday, july 7th, 09.00am.

You've been able to see it at the graduation show since yesterday, now it's online:

The FORM MUSIC website.

Thanks to Erin's glorious dedication, we finally finished the FORM MUSIC website. And looking back to where we started it just looks lovely.

If the printer-gods are with us today, Mrs. Cannotpostnamehere will deliver the printed Almanac-packagings this morning. She shifted the deadline twice, because she bought the wrong colour for the silk-screen print, she accidentally called us thinking we were somebody else &c &c … not the kind of professional printer you are looking for … fingers crossed all things are going to be in place today!

Opening of the graduation show will be tonight at 5:00pm and we still got loads of stuff to do.

More updates later this afternoon.

Working on the design of our booth at the graduation show.

The opening of the show will be tomorrow, July 1st at 5:00pm.

You will be able to play with the website, listen to the music and see the rest of the visual identity of FORM MUSIC.

During the show, you will also have the opportunity to get hold of our FORM MUSIC package containing a T-Shirt and a few surprises.

Final Artwork of Volume I of the FORM MUSIC ALMANAC.

Just submitted the last files to Erin, while he is about to implement them.

Just received 400 businesscards from our printer.

Thanks to Hartmut Bohnacker we found somebody to help us with crazy maths in flash. He developed two of our essential ideas of the soon to be finished website and we love it.
Thanks again for the dedication.

• Collect all the finished products from our printers and get it ready for the diploma show
• Finish design of letterhead and envelope
• Develop and design the documentation. (More details soon)
• Develop concept and design for the graduation show
• Develop concept and design a poster series for the show
• etc etc etc

The presentation will be held publicly, so if you want to come you are warmly welcome.
For those of you who are not able to come, we will have a little surprise. Soon to be announced.

Wicked!
The 200 button-badges ordered in the UK were just received in Munich. Little Emma couldn't resist and sports them even while asleep.

We are currently working on business cards, CD artwork and CD label. Final designs (print-deadline tomorrow) will be posted soon.

The site is also getting better and better. Thumbs up to Erin!
If your interested in the development, you can download it here.

The Neutral Typeface by Kai Bernau will be on display tomorrow at the KAKB in La Hague. Check out Letterlabor's website that has all the information you need to know. Relaunch is imminent!

An essential part of the visual identity is the CD-series, which allows Mark to send out one every three months to potential clients.
So, Form Music will release four compilations each year.

We're going to use transparent CD-jackets wich are currently being printed with the graphic shapes of the FM identity. The booklets will contain information about the Form Music licensing services as well as a list of the artists and songs on the CD.

The origin of serie's name «Almanac» is explained here.

The latest layout-revision of the website is now online.

Change log:

• Better legibility
• Better over-all structure
• Link colour revision
• Width of text boxes now in music media proportions

This poster (70x100) was designed today for Kai Bernau's graduation project:
The Neutral Typeface.

The University of Applied Sciences, Zurich prints about 20.000 inviations for the diploma show each year. The exhibition covers all graduation works from graphic design to film to fine arts &c.

The invitation of this year's diploma show [July 1st—14th] was so awful that we had to take actions and print our design over the existing.
I think it's a bit more personal now ;-)

Tomorrow, we are going to post them to a number of friends.
If you are interested in getting one, leave your address in the comments or send us an e-mail.
