My Two Lives - Climbing meets Graphic Design

I found this originally because I was browsing through a load of climbing vids. as usual.
However, him ending up sitting in front of a mac seemed quite fitting to my own life.
Maybe I too should combine the two...

A few more Kinetic Things

These last three are really eye opening. Yes a lot of time has been spent on them, but there are no effects or techniques that i do not understand. Also a little disturbing, this guy really likes blood and killing women...

I also found some amazing stuff which looks like it might be made in something a little different to AE.
Note to self: Search for 'motion graphics showreel'

Good Kinetic Type

Black + One Colour done well

Oour brief states that our animation is restricted to Black + One colour.

I thought this was a good example of that.

Trainspotting

Manchester Independent Economic Review

"The reports are a series of strategic publications that provide an assessment of the current state and future potential of the City's economy," explains Music's Ali Johnson. "The real challenge for us was to take the quite serious and, to be honest, sometimes quite dry information and present it in an engaging way without being over indulgent with the design."

While at the 'Home Grown' Exhibition in Manchester I found a book review edition of the Manchester Independent Economic Review. Their layout is very simple with minimal images mainly in a iconographic symbolism style. The stock is always thick newspaper print in various colours. I used the layout and the general 'style' of this publication as inspiration for my 16 Page Publication on Colour and Print.

I love it.
