We’ve put together a fun little animation for Guernsey and Jersey Gas to promote their latest heating offers.
Created in Flash it utilises a range of the animation tools available such as skeletal animation and each of the bees, the bird, frog etc have separate timelines meaning the motion is constantly evolving so each time it loops they will be in different places.

I came across this the other day and thought it was an interesting blend of film, design and old stop-frame animation. The International Council of Graphic Design Associations commissioned it for their annual design week to explore the value of design in Vancouver. A simple idea nicely executed!

Mr Doob has created a new browser based drawing experiment. This time you can collaborate with other visitors and create a masterpiece. Images spontaneously appear before your eyes, and partnerships are formed as you help other users with their creations. I helped user XXXL draw a face, they did the eyes and the nose and I aided by drawing the hair. There was no discussion, no planning, no permission, it just happened. It’s fun and feels nice, but be ready for someone scribbling over your pictures.

I like the simple executions of this idea ‘a perfect world’. This series of illustrations highlights everyday annoyances by pointing out what it would be like if everything went our way. This on-going project that was started by Catrina Dulay. I’d imagine as designer, born with the perfectionist gene, you could run quite far with this idea.

Landschaft Mit Haus, which translates simply as “Landscape with House”, is a series of great paintings from Maria Zaikina. I wouldn’t usually have taken an interest in ‘landscapes’ but I really like this simple collection of paintings, a refreshing take on the classic landscape. Read more

This experimental animation was created in 1968 by some Russian scientists showing, even at the height of the Cold War, they had some time for fun. Each frame was created on computer out of letters, these were printed and filmed to make the above. It is slightly disturbing when the Kotenok’s (that’s Russian for kitten) head gets very big, but it’s very like the style of Russian children’s animation of the period.

These great pictures are by artist Dave Devries. Taking doodles and sketches from very young kids he re-imagines them into 3D illustrations. Using extra colour, textures, and shading he indeed makes them a lot scarier. Want some more? Here you go. Read more
