This site is for the many women and men whom I have had the fortune to meet and teach and maybe even help on their way to becoming designers. The work shown here is a small but representative selection. I began teaching in the mid 1970s at the Allgemeine Gewerbeschule Basel, which became the Schule für Gestaltung Basel and then with university status the Hochschule für Gestaltung und Kunst Basel with its BFA and MFA programs. In my classes I am a teacher and a student, because teaching is as much about my own education as it is for my students. gpvd.ch will be regularly updated not only with current student work, but with work and projects from previous years. The site is divided into three areas reflecting my teaching activity. GraphicDesign is concerned with fundamental design skills, especially graphic formulation and experimentation. ProjectDesign is concerned with more complex design issues either in an applied or investigative way. VideoDesign is about time-based-media design work. The navigation is mostly above and to the left. Darkened text is where you are and you can always change to another area with the menu at the top. Most of the work and pages have been organized linearly to prevent erratic jumping around! Gregory Vines (*1946) is teacher in the Visual Communication Institute, HGK/FHNW in Time Based Media and Imagery. He was born in Springfield, Massachusetts where the game of Basketball was invented and the first manufacturing company of basketballs, Spalding, was founded. In 1953 like many other children in the USA he started a series of drawings directly on the TV screen (Winky Dink and You Show). His first 8mm film was shot for the experimental design class taught by Muriel Cooper at the Massachusetts College of Art, Boston. He received his BFA in 1968 and went on to work for publishing companies in Boston.
