Animated Shapes And Type Faces

The awesomeness of grasping basics is the freedom available to the creative person.

Just consider lines: straight and curves. Consider combinations. Consider size. Consider directions. Consider positions.

In these following videos, you'll see imaginative combinations of straight lines and curve lines of different sizes in exciting positions and surprising directions.

The fun-part for the designer is to have the right lines in the right place and at the right time. Having every bit organised to communicate an idea is the most interesting part of doing design.

Enjoy the works of Jeroen Krielaars using the Adobe Design and Animation Softwares.

Milton Glaser The Thinking Man


Milton Glaser, designer-artist, has always been articulate with words as well as with his prodigious works.

Here is a good taste of his thinking between art and design. His analysis of the value of money and the value of creativity in the context of human transactions and the quality of life is incisive.

A Look At Predictable Patterning In Nature

This is a fascinating look at INFORMATION in nature. Information is the new component besides energy and matter in the areas of science-study.
What is information?
Information is data. There is a a big chunk of information in the building-block of life in the DNA. The arrangement of data in DNA is sequential and orderly. There is no randomness in the data-infomation- pattern. There is design in the arrangement of the data in the form of codes in the DNA formation.
Intriguing questions arise with this observation:
How do the infomation-patterns get into the DNA formation?
There is unmistakeable evidence of design in the DNA sequencing and organisation. Underpinning design is an implicit acknowledgement of intelligence.
Is intelligent design then science?
Does the acknowledgement of a CREATOR as being the source of the intelligent design interfere with the study of science?
At any rate, this video offers a thread to this line of investigation. Take a look at predictable patterning in nature:

Picasso's Guernica In Animation


Picasso's Guernica in animated form

Guernica Picasso from Evgeny Mylt on Vimeo.


This video tells the story of Guernica - considered by many to be Picasso's masterpiece. Guernica demonstrates graphically the tragedy of war and the suffering that it brings to ordinary individuals, particularly innocent civilians.

Guernica gained monumental status and is a perpetual reminder of the consequences of war, an anti-war symbol, and also an embodiment of peace. On its completion Guernica was displayed around the world in brief tours. It became widely acclaimed. The tour brought the Spanish Civil War to the world's attention. Guernica became a face-to-face encounter with inhumanity, a wanton massacre at the village of Guernica in Spain

This fantastic animated collage was created by Evgeny Popov.
The sound production and the marvellous Spanish guitar was by
Maxim Alechin. 
Popov is a graduate of the Saint Petersburg University of Humanities and Social Sciences.  He works as a multimedia director, editor and CG artist as well as with a camera.

The Intriguing Numbers



The Fibonacci numbers are intriguing. 

What do the numbers tell?

Why are they important to our understanding of growth?

How are the numbers connected to growth in all living things?

How are these numbers connected to the formation of the planetary systems and the galaxies?

Are there some inferences that one can draw from the many connections that are inter-related in materials and in nature?

Take a look at the intriguing connections:


This video shows more examples:


Here is an artistic expression of the Fibonacci numbers


See how another enthusiast re-interpret the same understanding of the Fibonacci numbers:


Now see the way another enthusiast applies it to the calendar dates:


Here is another connection, to sounds:


Here the believer uses the intelligent design construct to express his belief system:
