This one goes out to the juniors



Best all-nighter music = Bjork.

Why on earth you ask? Because once she starts wailing like a banshee its really hard to consider sleeping through that noise.

I'm sure Death Metal would be similar... so cualquiera.

IDN

I found a new magazine that I like: IDN

This is a video they had on their site. Awesome!

Thursday, October 2, 2008

So... I get the theory behind this poster, but (ironically enough) don't you think it's hard to read? Maybe it just took me too long to read it, for me to be comfortable. I read B LIN .. thought it was a weird way to abbreviate Berlin and then saw DNESS. Thoughts?

Logos

Can you see where my thinking diverged into incoherence?
I think the UFO may have been the low point, but animal cruelty is always high on the distaste meter.

Hendecagon



In geometry, a hendecagon (also undecagon[1]) is an 11-sided polygon. -wikipedia

Altfest has eleven points of financial activity that it can help advise you on, so I made a hendecagon that I'd diecut the center of so that you can see through ideally.

This is my favorite idea so far. (Also, this is used in coinage like the Susan B. Anthony dollar)

Blurb

I made and [finally] uploaded a book to try out Blurb. It will bonus as work for Jeff's class. I'm debating making another because I want the 10x8 landscape for this corporate identity manual, but the book I just ordered was 7x7 because 10x8 won't fit in a dvd package. It won't be in until mid Sept at the earliest, but even knowing that I still think I'll wait a bit.

Too Lazy to make a new Blog

Here is a site that shows brand redesigns.

This was the spirograph logo I like, but it's been rebranded when the company merged.

DVD Box set

Runway Point of Purchase idea for DVD casing. I think I might add Joan Crawford, Audrey Hepburn, Sophia Lauren and Meryl Streep Transparent figures and the runway would be lit from underneath with a row of LED lights and a translucent film over top.



Box Designs that everyone's seen, but with measurements to send to the sculpture student.

Dreamgirls

Notes on the basic idea of my trailer.





Monday, March 24, 2008

So I am going to cut a trailer. I have the worst luck with Handbrake. I thought I understood it from when the guys went over it in class, but I spent two days waiting for a two pass encoding to finish on my computer and when it was done only the logo animation from dreamworks had been encoded. I went back to Mac the Ripper to just get it burned and I'll try the Handbrake again now that I know I at least have a copy I can take to school and use compressor.

Possible angles: when you're trying to make it ... who do you trust?

I'm in love with Stella



Other than the fact that I'm in love with Stella McCartney's line for Addidas, I like the interface of the website that plays with taking your selection in and out of focus.

Sunday, March 2, 2008

Check this website out. It is an interesting way to add motion into the idea of a catalogue.
