Lazers and Scanners

As Radiohead's new video was featured in August's Creative Review I thought I'd check it out. It's innovative use of lazers and scanners illustrates just how far technology has developed. The whole video was created without an original movie but with the careful placement of lazers and scanned images. The making of it is an interesting watch!

" I have a stupidly large felt tip pen collection in more colours, weights and nibs than I'll probably ever need."

Area and Area 2

The 'Area' collections feature work from various Graphic Designers. Area one and Area two are both great books to refer to when stumped for inspiration. Note: Both books are extremely heavy, not made for traveling.

Wishing I was in Maryland

This up and coming exhibition features thirteen recent artworks that use private information as raw material and subject matters. It displays moving illustration from designer Kota Ezawa and work taken from the book 'Learning to love you more.' by photographers Miranda July and Harrell Fletcher. The exhibition is travelling and has left New York for Huarte Centro de Arte Contemporáneo, Spain. Maryland, America is its next stop, If only I could get there!

Fancy a barbie?

Here is a example of guerilla marketing. It takes something that is already created and adds to it. This is a very clever, yet simple idea- and one that will catch attention and be talked about between friends.

Juno Illustration

The release of the film 'Juno' was greatly anticipated after it's success in various film awards such as Toronto film festival and the Writers Guild of America. After winning original screenplay I was eager to see this film. I was perhaps most impressed with the illustration used for the opening titles. The mixture of moving images and hand-drawn sketches worked well to provide a inspiring opening scene. 'Juno' then went on to win an Oscar and BAFTA award for best screenplay early this year.

Deadmau5

Deadmau5.com is the promotional website of a collected group of house DJ's. I was particulary impressed with the website design as it's modern look goes with the modern sounds and music. The character looks extremely professional and works well with the choice of colour and simple, san-serif typography.

ROCK N ROLLA

It was these Impressive poster designs that attracted me to watch this film. Although the story line was nothing out of the ordinary (your typical Guy Ritchie film) the closing credits made me glad that I had stayed till the end.

Freedom of the seas

The Sopranos

Clever, eye catching campaign- without the big budget. Relatively simple idea, suggesting that simplicity means good design.
