Stop-motion collections
Ooh do not miss the chance to collect good stuff on the internet:
The ever exciting voyage of a humble apple seed. A stop-motion of the alternation of black/white illustration and paper folding, and it is taking really good advantages of both of these two techniques to illustrate the story.
The Seed from Johnny Kelly on Vimeo.
Great stop-motion, wonderful song.
Hudson - Against The Grain from Dropbear on Vimeo.
Heart-breaking story. What else should I say? It will break your heart first by showing how amazing it can be and then break your heart again by the plot in the end.

Alexis Mabille
Alexis Mabille Spring 2011 Menswear
This is for me a serie of menswear represent surrealism; although they look fantastic on the runway yet hateful one the street. I can imagine these collections perfectly fits those beautiful male characters in Japanese comic books, or those who envolved in fiction movies like Thor.

The Vignelli Canon
THE VIGNELLI CANON
I attended Vignelli's lecture few weeks ago, and recently trying to figure out what he talked about in that specific lecture which none of us would believe that it would take place at Pratt.
As the further I go, as the more I learn from this old Italian gentleman.
You'll be overwhelmed by the versatility he has first if you see through the variety of works he has achieved, and you will be impressed again by his passion toward design, all forms of design.
Finally, I suggest all forms of designers should read this (I mean the link at the beginning of this article).

logo animation
Ok it is time for Bill. Let's check out some goodies I look up for him.
LOGO ANIMATIONS
Adida: nice connection of the roundness of type and ball sports. good tempo as what a identity of sport supply firm should be.
Honestly I only like the beginning, the rest part with street and everything deosn't look as nice the beginning. Obviously the author has very good sense with geometrical shapes and primary color but not graphic design. Anyway I like the idea of the first half part very much.
Probably everyone have already saw this logo animation of Pixar, a representative identity for Pixar.
No doubt the most successful logo animation ever, even it is not presenting any certain firm itself; the fluently transformed logos and aesthetic narrative perfectly display many existing logos at the time.
The only thing I don't like about it might be it runs 10 mins long because there are too many logos in this tiny animation, however this will never overcloud its remarkable work.

The worlds best logo designers
http://www.davidairey.com/the-worlds-best-logo-designers/
It happens to me that 2 of my professors recently want us to work on identity design
(for Visual Perception class we are ask to study on the logo design we are interested in, and Visual Communications we have to do branding and exhibition identity design collection )
and I found this article while I want to obtain some ideas from my favorite design blogs.
To my sadness is that most of these extraordinary designers already passed away long time ago which means I will never have the opportunity to attend a lecture given by them personally, and they will no longer cast more inspirations to the world by their outstanding designs.
However there's one thing I want to cheer for: Bob Gill is alive and he just has been teaching Advertising in Pratt for years which means I have the opportunity to sit in his class and learn from him. I have been told a lot about how picky this designer is and how hell his lecture will be like. Thus for a person who is incredibly seeking for deep frustrations and depressions like me, Bob Gill's class indeed is a class from the heaven that I can enjoy all the ruthless words he speak to me... I cannot wait for having this class (maybe next fall I guess )... it no doubts exist for me!!

MANKIND IS NO ISLAND
My friend who is working on her kinetic typography introduced me this work yesterday, and I was god damn touched by this piece of work!
The author collected many words in a variety of typography style at many place around New York and Sydney to compose the context, along with the music softly played in the background, and perfectly inserted some video fragments to illustrated the theme of the video.
The author collected plenty of words/ titles to form the content though, he did not just document them as still images; instead, he took videos which remain a bit movement. (by hands which was holding the camera or by the object itself. ) This is intriguing to me and I can not stop thinking: why he use videos to document the words while taking pictures can still make it? Imagine now those typefaces, typography, and words are taken by still pictures, what will it be like? Videos did made it better because the scenes keep a sense of documentary, additionally make the work like a story and the author a story teller through out the slightly movement of the words that you can imagine you are traveling with the author by watching this video.
Go back to the sentiment of this work itself, it is telling something simple but profound, which makes this video successful. It is talking about a common phenomena that we can see or hear everyday, but we tend to ignore, to overlook. Yesterday about 2:00 am, while I was going back to my apt from our studio in Manhattan, I saw an astonishing scene that two policemen rudely grabbed a homeless out of the subway car while he was deeply asleep. While I think humankind is sophisticated enough to help each other, to support those who are unable to survive in the society, I figured out that it is just a means in most of the institutions' favor to improve their corporation identity in the society. Further more, non of us own the extraordinary personality to save those who are struggling in the edge of the society. Yet I am neither saying " Yap we need peace and love, and we can save the world" nor pretending to be so merciful, showing my remarkable sympathy in order to tell you that I am superior than you. Don't forget I was one of those who sat tight in the car "watching" the NewYork daily story like feeding the pigeon while walking through the sidewalk. I am not even seriously criticizing those two policemen to be so cruel, and I guess they would have never chosen this career if they had known they have to drive out drunkards or homeless people who like to sleep on the subway. I just feel a bit upset about how we let the rest of the world stay in misery after we mankind have achieved success in education, economy, technology, art, philosophy, and many other ways.
