So the designer in me is whining that there have been no posts on design so here is a small collection of things that I have recently stumbled upon.
Creatives Unlimited - Very cool website of the students of Hyper Island in Sweden - really great student work. The interface reminds me of the Yahoo data visualizer that I have seen recently, I’ll post the link to that when I find it.
The things I have learned in my life - “This short documentary by designer and filmmaker Hillman Curtis on contemporary graphic design legend Stefan Sagmeister is truly inspiring.” - Motionographer.
Although this is quite true that Sagmeister is quite awesome, the film’s director Hillman Curtis is really someone who interests me. It was Curtis in the early days who wrote the book “Flash Web Design: The Art of Motion Graphics” that got me inspired to do the work we do today. It’s cool to see that his work is still pretty awesome and relevant almost 7 years later. I do have to say that his website hasn’t changed much though, I guess he doesn’t care.
Drawn.ca - An impressive blog founded by Canadians, hence the .ca. It is about illustrators and cartoonists and the work they produce - very, very impressive with many fantastic artists. If you are looking to hire an illustrator, this is a site worth visiting. I can’t believe I didn’t see this earlier.
