A great short 3 minute video that advertises what it is like to change the future, based on some football. Football as you know is the world’s sport, it is known between so many cultures and the mere mention of it brings smiles.
Nike has taken this concept and took it in a little different direction, showcasing how star players can change events in the world. Good vid!
An interesting stop-motion photography movie by Romain Pergeaux & Alex Profit. Creating a video which takes you around the world in 80 seconds. Using a simple Sony camera with built in GPS, this video does what it take normally 5 days to do.
Here’s an interesting read about the ever-changing internet as a source of what we call ‘inspiration’. It takes what we think about when we see these sorts of blogs and websites.
An interesting site I ran across through ‘Illustration Mundo’. If you’re an artist and notice someone blatantly using your work, here’s a link that can set you on the right way to stop them.
Copyright laws are crucial to know for any person in any of the creatives fields, to ignore them simply would mean that you will commit it sooner than later.
On my way to class today I saw the graffiti work of urban Akron. It said ‘DIES’, now i’m not that familiar with gang related symbols and signs, but there were quite a few I notice around Akron. This got me going, and I ran across this today, and thought to myself, Wow look what good graffiti can do. Not only can it shape and transform space we see it in, but the emotion it evokes in us.
Too bad Akron can’t be more good graffiti, and not ones that just mark territory.
There’s some inspiring works of art in there, perhaps useful for those producing grunge/illustrative projects.
We’re back after a slight offline moment, and what cooler than to rebrand your Banana.
An interesting rebrand campaign by designer DJ Neff. This new site allows you to create your own sticker, in a simplified 3 color way.
Very subtle but great designs can be made from this system. The pre-designed faces pieces are designed to fit the Chiquita rebrand pretty well.. there’s also a store to buy designed faces on numerous clothes and things.
Check it out, you may make a face you find strangely satisfying.
What a fantastic read.
I can’t really make anymore comments than that.
This is possibly the easiest read in explaining what graphic design is to me, and mentioning the different categories of an graphic designer. I really do see both types in my classes!
I wish this was standard reading in the classes i’m currently in (no harshness intended!).
This is an old transcript, but it is incredibly well structured. Please as graphic designers, or students, or whoever you are, give it a read!
Perhaps i’m slightly carrying Jamie’s flag a bit too much on this blog, but as an creative and inspiring person; I find his efforts through his actions pretty amazing. TED has realized this, and given him time to talk about it. He mentions some of his efforts in England, and here in the US, as well as reference to his other experiences.
Maybe not so much about design, but this is an inspirational blog, and this definitely is.
You may have a slightly different perspective on the ole’dollar menu.
