New video from the team-Obama website: “Organzing for America”….. speaking to the new health care laws passed in America.
From New Media Director Natalie Foster: Ever wanted a quick explanation of how health reform will benefit your and your community, to share with friends and family? We made this one-of-a-kind customized video to do just that. Watch now. Opponents of reform are already calling for its repeal — and spreading outrageous lies about what it means for America. We can’t let them tear down public support for reform.
Now that I have your attention. Check out the new amazing typographic Durex ads from German illustrator/designer Andrej Krahne. Not only tells it but demonstrates it.

Maybe you read this blog alot. Perhaps you even found my previous post about Mr. Felton and his annual reports riveting ( i know I did ) Well the newly release report for 2009 is upon us.

Its no doubt in my mind that I’ve been envious of the work that Danny Yount and Prologue films produce. Some of the finest VFX/Motiongraphics/Title Sequences I’ve ever seen in my lifetime. The astounding care to detail and handiwork stretches further than anything I’ve ever personally done. I wonder how some people accomplish it all sometimes. I know that Danny isn’t alone his team is amazing their collective vision is always spot on for the project and their technical prowess is un-imaginable. Their latest end title sequence for Sherlock Holmes is wonderfully done.
While their site doesn’t allow you to embed videos its currently their featured work on their Film page. I would suggest you check it out. Like to the movie is in the lower corner of the page.
Caught this wonderful video via a twitter friend. Thought I would share. In an age of digital, its really nice to see some crafted work now an again. Nicely shot and edited too.
Beautiful paper-cut illustrations created by Kate Forrester for John Lewis this Christmas – currently adorning billboards, buses, underground stations and newspapers all over the UK until Christmas. Yes all done by hand, just amazing typography.
“With LAIKA, there is finally a font that can seamlessly use the whole spectrum of its cuts. A font that is able to move between its extremes in real time. An interactive font that is able to respond to its surroundings. A font that questions deadlocked dogmas and throws up completely new design questions, and thus has the potential to revolutionise the understanding of digital typography.”
I used to be a font guy, I can appreciate when I see a great font these days, but I’m not up on my font game like I used to be 7 years ago. This LAIKA font is pretty bad-ass. reacts to different forms of input from a control board to a scale, they even hooked it up to a plant. Amongst other things I wish I had made cool stuff like this in school.
IKEA has changed its typeface from Futura to Verdana which has provoked an instantaneous global backlash.
All this outrage over a font? For some designers, it’s an issue of propriety — Verdana, which was invented by Microsoft, was intended to be used on a screen, not on paper.
What began as a never-produced poster idea has propagated itself into a series of 9 mock OPEN/CLOSED signs by aesthetic apparatus. Double-sided yet possibly commercially-useless, these signs will relay to passers-by and potential customers that you’re not really into categorizing your availability in such limited definitions like “open” or “closed.
