Another great resource…

Recently stumbled across this great website;

Again some really nice pieces of work on here that helps to get the 'cogs' moving.

I forget how great (a resource) this website is only to re-discover it when re-shuffling my bookmarks.

This is a reminder to me to visit it more than I do. Link

There are some great, great examples of creativity to be found in it's vaults.

Blu-ray Animation

I have just completed an animation for a very well known retailer. The purpose of the animation is to inform their customers about the benefits of Blu-ray, and I am pretty darn pleased with the finished result. It was hard work at times but I am pleased with the result and I have linked a snip-it for you all to enjoy! You will see it in every one of their stores with an Electrical department, playing on their Blu-ray promotional displays.

Andy Gilmore

Stumbled across this guy (Andy Gilmore) through another Blog, obviously very talented and the colour work is incredible. I am trying to use Adobe Illustrator (not sure what process Andy uses) in new ways and some of the results resemble Andy's work - just not as good.

Have a look around his Flickr site, particularly the ink detail drawings, absolutely awesome.

Quark 8x8 London

I attended the Quark 8x8 London 'talks' last week at The Imperial College and enjoyed hearing what motivates and inspires like-minded (with myself) people (designers). #8x8

Quark have now added videos of each (all 8) to their website. They are worth a watch, whether you are a designer or not. I recommend John Bateson's witty and creative presentation, Ben Terrett hosts.

Audio Boo

OK, you heard it here first, or didn't. I have been hearing lots about AudioBoo over the past week or so. They have just made an 'open' call for investors, they are looking for £10,000 per person, now that is quite a lot of money. I'm not going to be one of the investors because I don't have the means - the trouble is, I THINK, this could be one the next big sites.

Stephen Fry seems to like it, enough said?

The answer?

OK, now this I like. A matt black car.

Black is my favourite colour, or is for the moment. A 'favourite colour' is a difficult thing for a designer to have, for any length of time anyway, but, for now I have settled on black. I have so many contradictions to the previous sentence I am going to stop talking about colour now!

So anyway, is this the answer to the gold and chrome'd cars? Or just another evolution?

Thank you Justin for the image.
