Spring break!

Kickin' the break off right with a tasty & well-designed bottle of cab. ;)

This is a really short preview of something I animated (after much frustration in after effects and trying to get it to do something too complicated, apparently) in flash for our MODA project. Joe (the client) seemed to like our concept and the work we have so far. It looks like we're finally on track to hopefully get this finished up pretty soon.

Lines, lines, lines

For the MODA "Passione Italiana" project, my partner and I are utilizing line drawings & schematic diagrams of motorcycles and animating those lines in various ways. I wanted to share a small preview of the things we're working on. This is an engine schematic that I'm in the process of tracing in illustrator:

It's a bit tedious, but I'm positive that the final product will turn out well.

Aerosol Amoeba

I came across another awesome video by this guy on vimeo, but I wanted to share this one in particular. It's simple and beautiful. :)

FPO: For Print Only

I found this site a while back that is an awesome resource for those working in print. It showcases various client-based print projects and gives the run-down on all the specs for each project such as paper stocks used, fonts, budget, inks, print methods, "special effects," and more. Check it out!

1910's Poster Design (In Progress)

For Paige's decade research project we are also designing posters to fit the style of our decades. Mine is 1910-1920, so I wanted to go with the very painterly/rough plakatstil (poster-style) look. It just so happens that the Titanic sank in 1912, so I decided to do a travel poster--taking place before the fact, of course.
