Designer Q and A – with Noel Joyce

We wanted to bring you something a bit different for this post. If you’ve been following our blog, you’ll know that Noel Joyce has been contributing regular posts on all aspects of Maglus and design. We thought it was about time you guys found out a little more about the designer behind Maglus. We managed to tear him away from all his creative productivity for a few minutes to chat about all things design.

1. How did you get into design?

After I had in accident in 2006 that ended my career in the Irish Army and left me confined to a wheelchair, I looked to start a new career as I could no longer perform my duties in the Military.

Autodesk – Sketchbook to product!

Hey Maglus usersNoel here.

I haven’t been on here in a couple of weeks as I have been away. I have just returned from San Francisco where some startups whoose projects I worked on were launching their new products. It was a great trip and one on which I got to check out the Autodesk Gallery in downtown SF. Autodesk happen to make a couple of awesome iPad apps that give a good intro to the world of design from the perspective of digital sketching and 3d modelling.

Shakefest – Tagtool Projection on Charleville Castle!

Our last post touched on Shakefest and the involvement of creative duoBenjamin Rabe and Fabric Lenny AKA Bunny & the Beardman. Specialising in engaging installations, the Maglus maestros seemed the perfect candidates to put on an exciting show!

So the Maglus team took the guys on a roadtrip to Tullamore, Co.Offally to celebrate this festival of World Cultures, Art and Dance!

Coderdojo workshop at Shakefest

It has been a busy few weeks for the Maglus crew, we’re excited to share what we’ve been up to with you!!

We were honoured to be part of Shakefest – a vibrant, World Cultures Art and Dance festival last weekend. It was a special event for us as it took place in Tullamore, Co.Offally – the hometown of Maglus!

We wanted to put on something special for this great event, so we enlisted the help of some friends of Maglus – German iPad artist Benjamin Rabe and drawing maestro Fabric Lenny. Both guys do some really diverse work – iPhone art, animation, web design and collaborations with other creatives is just a flavour of what they get up to!

First up, the guys held a small Coderdojo workshop on Friday evening for a group of kids.

Using Maglus with Zen Brush App

Hey guys,

Noel has put together another great blog post for us. He is preparing for a work trip to San Francisco, but he managed to squeeze out a post before he jets off! This time, he covers an app that you might not have heard of. But believe us, its worth checking out! Read what Noel has to say below. And as always, comment, tweet or get in touch whatever way suits. We love hearing your feedback….

Noel here again,

One of the cooler drawing apps I have used is called Zen Brush. It’s not one of the more popular apps but it is pretty unique. It has very little in the way of tools and so it is pretty easy to get to grips with. So for all you techno-phobes, this should be perfect!
