A Map For Saturday
End of January, another drab wednesday. Life should be a bit more like on this video, not?
A MAP FOR SATURDAY is the product of a year’s travel through 26 countries on four continents. Emmy winning producer Brook Silva-Braga left his cushy gig with American TV network HBO to travel the world with five pounds of clothes and 30 pounds of video equipment.
Tag Cloud: State Of The Union
The State of The Union in tag clouds. Just to pick two, the first and last speech of mr Bush. And no, I am not surprised at all, i'ts all so obvious, a president in decline.
Other tag clouds of us presidential speeches can be found here.
Feet Want Out
Mondays can be a bit drab so here the world by a dreamy foot, a colorful animation by The Three Legged Legs (cool name). Not only did the Legs animate one of three fantastical spots, but they also directed all of the live action counterparts for the BBDO + Havaianas campaign. So yeah, big deal, it's a commercial, but a good one, a happy one.
Gosh, how I miss summer.
Design Police
Should I be alarmed?
I mean Bring bad design to justice sounds a lot like a personal attack, not?
And of course they are right, a better visual attractive world, I am all in for that. Nothing wrong with to want push things further (while looking at my site, nodding with shame). So a big hurrah for the Design Police who tries to accomplish the destruction of poor quality and irritatting grapic design. And for us mortals and consumers, they have a neat Visual Enforcement Kit.
Be part of this sweet graphic crusade, sticker.
My Mobile Workspace
"Failure is always the best way to learn", so I might as well say, I am quite pleased with an unexpected day off from my dreary, drudgery temp job. Too bad my 'learning experience' killed off all my inspiration genes, and all I do is stare at this 20" screen wondering what to do with it, amazed by the blandness of it all, contemplating the only thing next in line, should I get another cup of coffee, another cigaret, or both? It's kinda sad.
About the new Zooadventurer design (see last post), rejection is looming, postponement is imminent.
