Here is a Periodic Table of Typefaces a list of 100 of the most popular, influential and notorious (compiled from several sources noted on the poster). Grouped by classification it includes: family, rank, designer and year created...very nicely done, and a great reference, enjoy. Adobe Cards is an Adobe promotion for Creative Suite 4 (CS4), created by Goodby, Silverstein, and Partners. Simple interaction engages a series of animation builds using only playing cards as the visual element. Production time was three months, definitely worth viewing. I wish you all Happy Holidays and a Healthy and Happy New Year. Thanks go to Delia for this years illustrated Holiday card. To view the card click here or on the image. If you would like to print a high resolution version for personal use click here Winter Song Hotel 626 is clever online puzzle game presented by Doritos just in time for Halloween. You can only enter Hotel 626 from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. (though you can change your computer’s clock if you want to cheat the system), and you’re not allowed to exit until you have gone on a harrowing journey through the haunted hotel. If you have a webcam and microphone you can enhance the experience, you can also skip sections if you get stuck. Have fun, but keep in mind this may be too frightening for younger children. Keith Loutit a Sydney, Australia-based photographer created a few very interesting tilt-shifted time-lapse short films. These short film clips give the viewer the impression that these are scenes of small models...very interesting and fun to view. " You can see more of his films on the Keith Loutit Vimeo page. Dave Allen is another creative person who used the tilt-shift lens filter in Photoshop to create a time-lapse video of three days at the Cranford Rose Garden at Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Very clever medium to illustrate the life & death of an endangered species. Ogilvy New York was commissioned by the Environmental Defense Fund to bring attention to their cause and taking it to the streets, creatively done. Giving new meaning to the word Typeface, Jeremy Mayer brings new life back to old typewriters using the parts to build interesting human and animal sculptures. In my opinion definitely worth a look. BTW: I often see old typewriters sell for a buck or 2 at auction...inspired anyone? A well done PSA (Public Service Announcement) video created by an Aussie agency (Colman Rasic Carrasco ) for MTV Exit Foundation & Radiohead. The song is Radiohead's "All I need". |
