Found this gem on Kanye’s blog. Amazing motion graphics work. The video was made by Marco Brambilla and was part of an exhibition in New York.

Teaser Trailers by Danger

Two People Talk About Awesome Things
This weekend I came across two little talks/videos by awesome people. Both Geoff McFetridge and Brian Jones have awesome things to say.
First up is Geoff McFetridge talking at the Do Lectures. I found this one via Drawn!. It’s awesome to hear him tell his story and hear his thoughts on graphic design. One interesting thing I found out watching the video is that he writes poetry. Another interesting side note: he does this speech while a video of him doodling is running in the background. Very, very rad.
Next up is the first Show & Tell Podcast by the Friends of Graphic Design. Brian talks about lots of dope things in this video. Some of these dope things include: the power of pie, why you should go from A to shoe instead of A to B, and about the awesomeness of personal projects. Chirping birds and interesting things guaranteed.
Picture Book Report
Looks like Meg Hunt has a new project, the Picture Book Report. Fifteen radical illustrators will create art inspired by their favorite books. Three of the projects were announced today: Sam Bosma vs The Hobbit, Meg Hunt vs Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland, and Will Bryant vs Peter Pan & Wendy. Three more will be announced tomorrow. Illustrations from these projects will begin popping up on February 8. Keep two eyed peeled on this project, it’s guaranteed to be awesome.
