Yes, it is an infomercial, but it is totally worth watching…Make My Logo Bigger!!! I know several coworkers that would buy this. Too bad they don’t have some Solar Flare Flakes in the package. Those would be a big hit too.

Hey I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of what I could do for Ryans project.  My idea was different kind of tires/wheels.  Everything from toy car wheels to monster truck tires.  I collected images and information on different sizes and I decided to redraw the different types, but now I’m stuck.  Any ideas on how I can present the idea?

Oh behalf of Chad…

ZAMZAR is a free online file conversion tool. It allows you to upload files as well as convert things from URLs. Use it for grabbing videos from Youtube and converting them to quicktime. You can also convert files like AVI, MP4, or DVIX to quicktime.

VECTOR MAGIC is a new online tool created by the good folks at Stanford. Works just like Adobe’s live trace tool, but much better and more accurate. It is definitely worth using.

I found this great web site called avoision. These two guys did a bunch of experiments which use art, mathmatics and music in somewhat interactive pieces.

I’m not sure, but at least to me this seems a little bit more fresh of an idea than what’s been around the block in the design world lately. It’s one thing to put music in the background of an animation or have an MTV video playing likened with some images and a pop song but I think this is the beginning of something greater. That link listed above opens to an interactive math oriented display using piano keys that you can play. Once you pick notes it “thinks” of how they would be played if they were pie. (I thought Jackie might like the math in this one).

Other videos are on the site, below that screen (there are nine) that are more musical. Some of these pieces play with text, having the text animate to what the words are or move with the beats of songs. I’m guessing the guy (although I couldn’t find an answer on his site) is some kind of computer programer as his day job (vs. an artist or graphic designer)… I get this impression because of the style of interactivity on the site and the fact that most of the fonts used in the animations look like some kind of san serif verdana standard code www option.

As far as artsy interactive code, this other site is very magical site, you have to download the “Four all Seasons” zip file once you get into the page and then you can read one of the four seasons (fall,winter,spring,summer) of the poem which then turns into an interactive scene with lettering. Check it out at…http://www.hahakid.net/forallseasons/forallseasons.html.

Hello everyone, I just wanted to come thru to see if you guys can give me some advice on Ryans project 3. For all the people that are in my class you know that I have been doing my extensive research on cheereos. I was thinking of mybe creating some type of manual that people could use for reference or valuable information on cheereos, what do you guys think?

just in case you are interested and don’t want to search for Jeral Tidwell. sorry I thought I included the link in my previous post.

As I was searching for some ideas on how to fix the type treatment on my poster for 346 and I came across the artwork of Jeral Tidwell. Pretty cool posters.

I found this article and thought it was worthy of reading.
