DJBroadcast 52 -> Robot Illustration

DJBroadcast 52 – Robot Illustration from Super Silo on Vimeo.

I recently came across this very entertaining timelapse photoshop illustration by Super Silo (Dutch designer, Martijn van Dam) on ilovenewwork.com. Super impressive, and fun to follow. Especially if you’re the type that gets into the fancy photoshop maneuvers.

Infographics Destination -> visual.ly

For those who love infographics and information design in general, visual.ly is a fairly new community specifically designed for sharing new designs. The site is super clean and minimalist, which makes sense for an infographics destination, I think. I look forward to seeing what kind of traffic and engagement the community draws. Have a look.

Thomas Blanchard -> Slow-Mo BMX/Motion

Pi from Thomas Blanchard on Vimeo.

Taken at 1000-2000 fps this 550D slow motion test footage is packed with some nice filters, motion tracking and various other bits of eye candy. There is a lot going on, but it’s so well done that it all works beautifully together, especially with the moody and peaceful soundtrack. Not your [...]

SpongeBob -> Clothing Graphics

It’s Friday. I figured that simple fact warrants a post that is all about fun and playfulness, as I rarely do post about “fun and playfulness”. Yes, in air quotes even. This fine rendering of a high-design SpongeBob SquarePants is coming from an agency in Nottingham, London called ‘Studio Output’.  Their site is very much [...]

Kenton Slash Demon -> Daemon by Dark Matters

Kenton Slash Demon – Daemon from Dark Matters on Vimeo.

Notes From Vimeo:

“On their quest for creating classic computer effects without the computer, Dark Matters continues the analogue feel from the “Matter” video. The new Kenton Slash Demon video, Deamon is the take on analogue wireframes in the same naive universe. An abstract space opera about [...]

Frame Rate Fest IE9/HTML 5 -> Microsoft

Microsoft created this designer/developer community site as a way to promote IE9 and also to showcase creative use of HTML 5. I like the overall ‘Tronish’ site design, the bold color palette and the general idea behind it’s purpose… It will be interesting to see what people submit.

History of Gaming -> Florian Smolka

History of Gaming from Florian Smolka on Vimeo.

Ahh, this video brings back so many memories doesn’t it? Especially the earlier bit, not to expose my age or anything. This clever video was made by university “Game Design” students from Munich as a video project. I like the overall simplicity and the subtle humor of the hand gestures. [...]

Alphabloks -> 3D Type Animation Project

ALPHABLOKS – Motion Typography from Colin Evoy Sebestyen on Vimeo.

This project was assigned and created by professor Colin Evoy Sebestyen as a motion graphics challenge at the Academy of Art University, San Francisco. I like that he takes part in the projects that he assigns to his students, seems to be a very collaborative approach to [...]

Motor/Ambient Reel -> KU-SCHNEIDER

I tried to grab some complimentary screen shots of the video below designed and produced by German motion and graphics designer KU-Schneider. The stills are quite beautiful, but you have to experience the luminous animation and motion design by watching this video full screen. The constant changing of the the neon rod’s depth of field accompanied [...]

Musically Inspired Album Covers -> Simon Page

I came  across some fairly new works by Simon Page on his Flickr stream yesterday, which then led me to his Behance page. Apparently, he’s been working hard on a lot of album covers. The above covers were all inspired by ‘simply listening to the music’, as he states on his Behance project page. The [...]

IBM -> 'Power your planet' ads/illustration

I remember seeing one of these beautiful IBM ads in the New York Times earlier in the year but I had no idea where they were coming from or who created them, until today when I happened upon them on Behance. The illustrations were created by Vienna, Austria based David Mascha. He focuses on Art, illustration, [...]

New Worlds : Opening Up -> Christoph Ruprecht

Christoph Ruprecht is a creative director from Germany with some serious chops in graphic art/design and typography. His works transcend the bounds of print design and extend into the realm of fine art. Much of his graphic design reminds me of works by the great surrealists Miro, Dali and Tanguy. You’ll have to check out [...]
