“Moving Still est un court-métrage relief époustouflant de 2 mn 22 s, réalisé avec une technique expérimentale à partir d’une seule prise de vue.”

I’m not going to attempt translating this, but this piece is pretty amazing. You have to watch it with 3d glasses, though (or cd case colored with red/blue sharpie).

Well, the blog is finally redesigned…sort of… there are some things that have yet to be added. In the next few weeks, there will be a forum, with which everyone can start threads discussing design-related topics, asking technical questions, get help, etc. Also, esteemed illustrator, Shawn Lee will be providing us with a background illustration for the site at some point in the hopefully near future. In the meantime, black and white photos will cycle in the background (well, not now, but as soon as I collect those).

The typeface pops out into 3d space if you use red/blue 3d glasses, and eventually other parts of the site will as well. [ Here is an article on anaglyph images ]

If you want to make your own 3d glasses, it’s easy! Just find a CD jewel case, which you don’t use anymore, because who uses CDs anymore? Then, you’ll just need a red and blue sharpie, draw red on the left and blue on the right (it’s important that the red corresponds with your left eye), and voila!

You’ll notice that there is a section on the left side of the page called the “Student Find.”

This section is for students and anyone else to post links and images of things that she/he finds on or off the Internet. You do not need to log in or have an account to use this sidebar, and all images must be uploaded from your computer, so if you’d like to share something you just saw on the Internet, just create a screenshot by clicking Command + Shift + 4, select the area, and when you hear the shutter sound, an image file will appear on your desktop.

For PC, you need to click Print Screen, then create a new photoshop file, and paste, or use a third party screenshot software like Jing

Simply:

1. click the “Add A Find” button, choose an image to upload, then click upload (you must click upload and wait for the file to finish before submitting your find)

2. Type in a title

3. Type in a link (this will be what your title links to)

4. Enter a description of your find

Click Submit and you’re done! All of the finds will appear as comments to this thread, in case you missed any and want to look back.

*Please Note: If you add comments here, they will show up in the sidebar

So… I’ve been… and… um… and lazy… and its been a long time since I made any posts, and um… I’ve been busy in and out of the classroom, yada, yada, yada… But I figured I’ve collected enough links to satisfy any drought you may have experienced, so without any more delay here are the latest things found in and around the net:
