kinetic typography

meredith and i were sending each other some of these back and forth today, and i came across an obama one. amazing use of typography and motion graphics. use the related links bar on the side of the video to look at other kinetic type from movies and other speeches. (seriously, look up the "wedding crashers: perfect girl" one. classic.)

hope everyone's vacation is going well. see y'all in january!

"You Can Have Whatever You Like" -Clifford Joseph Harris Jr.



Bored? Cabin Fever? Check these out.


For anyone who likes adobe kuler.. here is something I think is cooler. You can search color palettes, patterns and more. You can even download the patterns for your desktop, and download the color palettes straight to your favorite adobe application. Santa's Panties pattern is a hot commodity this season.

FREE or $1 Stock photos!
FREE VECTOR DOWNLOADS!

That's right, I said it.
If you don't have the time to create an illustration for a guy scuba diving, this place is for you. And, okay, you're right, stock photography sucks. BUT it's free and/or cheap on this site, so for people on budgets like us, it is perfect. It has a bazillion links to sites that have everything a designer dreams of, just scroll to the right.

Stocking Stuffer Typefaces. Cheaper than your average iPod.

FREE Adobe PS Brushes! Too bad their website isn't named what it should be.. BrushWeezey...

This would have saved us from attempting to jump out of 404's windows at least once... That's all I'm saying. (However it is a tad bit pricey)

MORE. FREE. TYPEFACES. They legit look like they are made by hoefler & frere-jones. Eat your heart out.

One PS tutorial a day keeps the alcohol away. These claim to be "spoonfed" and provides a bunch of free stuff too. To see their tutorials you have to get an account.. not sure if it costs money or not yet.

SENIOR THESIS SHOW DATES





This is primarily for Ian, but do we have concrete dates for our senior show??

The e-mail Don sent us to confirm how our names were spelled was incorrect I believe.. at least according to Donny. (?)
Those dates were May 12-23.

Can someone please e-mail or call Petra and find out when our show is? This will help out a lot since we're going to start having timelines next quarter. Her information is below + when we have an answer can it be posted on the blog? Thanks much!
