This is an oldie but a goodie. Milton Glaser musing over how to make a convincing poster, showing not only a few pieces of his work but also all the ideas that never made it through his own critique. Really fascinating and gives a great insight into how this amazing designer worked.

SUPERBOWL ADS 2010
Mashable has done it again by giving us one place to see all the Superbowl ads for this year. I have to say they are all kinda average – the GOOGLE one is good, but not something we haven’t seen before. The Coke/Simpsons one could’ve done so much more. GoDaddy is just pointless and makes a point of not showing you the full ad (too hot apparently) so you have to go to their website – I did and I’ll never get that 5 minutes of my life back. See what you think, I’m interested to see your comments.

YOU’RE ONLY EVER AS OLD AS YOU FEEL
Heres one lady that will literally bend over backwards for you. An 83-yr-old yoga instructor Bette Calman can pull some moves even MacGyver would applaud.

PHOTOSHOP DISASTERS
Clumsy manipulation, senseless comping, lazy cloning and thoughtless retouching, i stumbled upon this Blog page whilst listening intently in one of my classes. Made me giggle, thought id share!
ONE INK BLOT AT A TIME
Oscar Diaz’s Ink Calendar has taken the month by storm — one ink blot at a time. The Ink Calendar’s unusual technique of using capillary action to ‘stain’ each day of the month has reignited the design world’s senses. That humidity may render the ‘calendar’ inaccurate, but this should be ignored since it’s brilliant and utterly beautiful!

CANTOS UN-MUSEUM
A visualisation from a proposal for the Calgary Music centre by Diller, Scofidio and Renfro. While not especially interactive, the fly-through animation is quite effective primarily through some very well thought out sound design. Once again the use of silhouette cut-outs for people works beautifully here, lending a crowd experience without the distraction of personalities. And this style is well suited to After Effects’ 3D production. A Big Kev for this one!
