Isnpiring Motion Design Portfolios

Motion design constantly amazes me and inspires me. I’m not quote sure how these studios do what they do, but their work is great to check out - especially if you are stuck in a rut.

Type and Grid

Personal Work. A wallpaper/poster for Type and Grid, which are the basic things you need to communicate you idea visually.

Andrey Razumovsky

The amazing milk dresses by Russian photographer Andrey Razumovsky. They are just photograph works, if you don't like, please skip them.

Brown Town

Interested in knowing the identity of that lovely pixellated broad? It shall remain a mystery.
This poster frist appeared on my flickr stream, and it is easily the most popular item on my photostream. Rightfully so, in my mind. It may be the best poster I've ever created. The technique was tedious, but it's ultimately not that complicated. I'm not telling, though.

Foldaway Home

Designed by Atelier OPA, this collapsable "apartment" serves as an adaption to the populirized idea of "Skeletal Infill" in Japan, in which the skeleton of the house remains preserved while only changing the insides. Of course, it doesn't have to collapse after use at all, it can easily be used as your every day kitchen, office and bedroom. I can see college dorms and hostels using this idea, it would create much more space and offer a ton of configurations to work with each individual. 

'Green' Graffiti

Green Moss Speaks Volumes

Anna Garforth's green graffiti on display at London's Clissold Park, is called the Mossberger Project and is part of YCN, a two-week global art initiative being displayed all over the world. The moss, which Garforth uses to display words, is much more welcoming than spray paint as a way to express a message. Not only is it a warmer "vandalism", it's biodegradable!

Garforth uses a mixture of natural yogurt and sugar to adhere her moss to public surfaces. 

The Reverse Graffiti Project

The Reverse Graffiti Project in San Francisco is creating environmental art by cleaning up dirt and grime from city walls. In this video, you witness the making of a 140 ft. long mural in the Broadway tunnel. It raises awareness to the native species of plants that might be living in the area were it not for the fact that the area is now downtown SF.

TrendVision Look Book

Durso Design created this "Look Book" for the Colors of the World Trend Vision 08 publication. Colors of the World is a Wella Professionals program designed to build hair color business and inspire the artistic side of stylists. This seasonal campaign was designed to serve as inspiration for stylists and their clients and to give Colors of the World an outlet for introducing new color techniques and trends in an interesting package.

Double Takes

I love it when I see smart advertising or design. The stuff that makes me look twice and say "why couldn't I have thought of that?!" 

Cannes Lions 2008

The advertising world was a buzz in the south of France last week for the Cannes Lions 2008 Festival. Here are some of our fav winners.

Nike- Los 5 Magnificos- A la Momento, Spain's soccer superstars take some notes to remember why they want to win Euro 2008.
