This years Cannes Film Festival is a buzz with today’s screening of Waltz with Bashir, director Ari Folman’s account drawing from his experiences in the Israeli Defense Force. The story details the Sabra and Shatila camp killings in 1982 from the view of a young Israeli soldier. The film is almost entirely animated and contains the actual voices many of the people depicted in the feature. Read the rest of this entry »
23 year old Gianluca Fallone, a young Argentinian illustrator and designer, has already accomplished much in his short career. Beautifully fluid motion graphics and inspiring & very detailed illustrations, for Cartoon Network, Mtv, and Punga™, are sprinkled throughout his stunning portfolio.
“I love type and design, and particularly when they are both present,” Fallone says. We couldn’t agree more!
When we see something that strikes us as pushing the envelope we feel compelled to post about it immediately. Tony Ariawan’s digital illustration raises the bar for eye candy every where. Currently residing in Yogyakarta Indonesia, Ariawan mixes flat and 3-D graphics with some stunning results.
Because we went to art school, we some how managed to make it all the way through college without ever having to take a math class. Little did we know that in a few short years math would open up a whole new world of interactive art as made apparent by people like Dimitre Lima.
We were lucky enough to catch this unreleased gem from Fake Pilot for Sean John. For whatever reason this was never actually used, and will only ever live on Fake Pilots website. For the uninitiated, Fake Pilot tout’s himself as the best flash designer on the planet and honestly, he’s not lying. It’s like when Jay-Z says “I’m the greatest of all time” and you’re like “damn, he really is”.
Dude only calls himself a “Flash Designer” because there’s no job title like flash motion graphics director DJ rockstar (did we mention he writes all the music for these as well?). Guys like Fake Pilot exist just to take take our preconceived ideas of what’s possible and blow them up in our face.
Thanks to our friends at Computer Love for this.
Some day, we’ll all have T-shirts this cool. Till then we’ll have to settle for rocking to Justice’s D.A.N.C.E. video with a T-qualizer. If you’re dying for one of the T’s in this video, we’ve heard Colette is your best bet.
Dogs and lasers? OMFG, can you get anymore awesome than that? This video for “Birds” by Vitalic was made by Parisian art collective Pleix who also boast a roster of videos including for artists like Basement Jaxx and Groove Armada and Chased by Cowboys, just to name a few. We could stop watching music videos altogether now because seriously, how do you top this? Though in all fairness, you should check out their site and view the rest of their equally strange/amazing work.
We’re suckers for good type and we love music as well, so when we found Yuxt’s collection of typographic music videos we were sold in about a nanosecond. You can even select autoplay after clicking the first video and enjoy the shuffle that was bookmarked on Yuxt.
Some people can just seem to do it all, or so we thought when we found Artist/Art Director/VJ/Illustrator Mate Steinforth’s mateuniverse. Usually when people talk about being able to do so many things well we take it with agrain of salt, but in this case, dude a site to prove it to the whole world.
Mate is yet another impressive creative talent coming out of Madrid (Is there something in the water over there?) and now works at Psyop in NYC. During his off days he makes experimental music videos and tours around the world VJing. Does this guy make you sick or what? Anyway, his site is great, check it out.
Thanks to Dustbowl for the tip
Sure, there was the make_the_logo_bigger.mp3 that hit your headphones a couple months back…
and, naturally, the real marketing genius series saluting Ms. I don’t know how to view a rough cut lady’s dominance amongst the blogosphere.
But Digital Kitchen’s reel edit/marketing masterpiece ‘Designer Slash Model’ is truly something else. Rather than tell you how brilliantly satyric and clever it is, we’ll let you know that a little birdie told us that there was this Danish ‘creative director’ who coincidentally happened to be a ‘model.’ Said ‘creative director’ used to have a ‘way’ about him. One day said ‘creative director’ bailed. What remains is more successful than any continual inside joke we’ve ever had.
