iri5, as they are known on flickr has created this piece amongst others. Quite impressive really, I’d be interested to know the technique involved.

(cassette is real, no paint, no photoshop)
He has also done Marilyn Monroe, Bob Dylan and Jim Morrison, which you can check out here
I’m not sure if this is an official video, but I am sure that it is wonderful. Wonderful, that’s a word I don’t use a lot in general conversation or well conversation generally. Anyways, what we have here is wonderful and visually it comes from 3 gentlemen, and they as such:

What we have hear is the latest UNKLE video, directed by Spike Jonze. Captivating and whilst simple as an idea, is exectuted wonderfully in my opinion, producing a fantastic piece.
Musically The Raveonettes have that stripped mellon collic darkness about them, and this video for their track Black + White helps to illustrates that well. This music video was directed by Chris Do and is a visual metaphorical representation of the colours black + white.
“Black and White” utilizes light and shadow to convey the opposing themes of the piece, including love/hate, life/death, young/old, daydream/nightmare, and ugliness/beauty. The narrative unfolds through an innovative mix of shadow puppetry and animation, as two-dimensional characters come alive in a colorless world, underscored by The Raveonettes’ haunting vocals. A majority of the elements used in the video were shot in-camera, and puppeteers’ hands and rigging are often left in the shots to create a more spontaneous and organic aesthetic.
Eerie, yet oddly compelling, these then, are the work of Tessa Farmer.
I came across these, must have been last year, but lost the bookmark, through a need to avoid doing something I delved into my nushit folder in my bookmarks. I also came across about 6 weeks worth of electronica mixsets that:
Anyways, I digress, please enjoy the surreal beauty of Tessa Farmer. (more pics after the drop)
Richie Hawtin aka Plastikman is one of my all time musical loves, and until tonight I never knew there was a video for the Plastikman track: Disconnect.
And what a video it is, it captures the dark, dang, trippy questioning nature of Hawtin’s aural production and really does it justice.
The video was produced by Ali M. Demirel with animation by Cem Gul.

estefany wrote a great post back in early February for the snap2objects blog discussing what it is to be a designer. Essentially whether it’s a natural talent, or the result of hard work:
Telling you about my experience, teaching softwares like Photoshop and Illustrator for almost two years, I can say that I have seen some talented students and some that didn’t have the same luck. I don’t teach the theory of design, art history or gestalt; the students go there to learn how to use the tool, the software. The problem is some of them think that is enough to start creating logos or designing pieces. I say that is much easier to learn to use the tool than to learn to have a good aesthetic sense, because no one can teach this. What teachers at college do is to show you the right way, what should or not be done, giving you the basis. But when putting the theory into practice it’s all up to you and the lenses you’ll use to see the world.
Some people use more the right side of the brain, which is responsible for the imaginary, the emotional and the artistic matters. They surely have more ability to create, it’s easier and more natural. That’s why we can say that some people have more talent, but it doesn’t mean that other people aren’t able to produce good works. It means that they have to put more effort into working with the imagination.
