I stumbled upon this massive archive of old jazz record covers. Most notably are the covers done for Blue Note, which start here.

This guy will make a 3 second animation of your logo…
some of his examples are pretty cool!

Late Monday our beloved professor Atzmon sent me some green screen footage of John McCain, a link to the Colbert Report Nation website and told me about the Colbert Report Green Screen Challenge (I don’t watch the show very often, so I had no idea this challenge existed). After thinking about it, I spent a good chunk of my day yesterday making this. I uploaded it around 6:30PM last night. Keep a look out and let me know if it airs.

I encourage those of you who, like me, need something to waste your time on to make an entry and submit.

I have been a bit absent from blogging for a while. Busy making work for others so that I can clear my plate and make work for myself. So today I am taking some time and decided to come back to the blog and at least give people a glimpse of some things I have bookmarked for some reason or another recently.

Hope you are enjoying your summer whether on the beach or in an office.

Design is a beautiful thing, especially because it lets you completely re-imagine the possibilities of the objects we encounter everyday. Watch this video about the BMW GINA.

Absolutely amazing!

I love the sounds and everything… neave.tv is also updated!

i briefly spoke to david peterson at the detroit comic con - he’s the author and illustrator of  mouse guard (nominated for 2 eisner awards - Best Publication for Kids and Best Graphic Album—Reprint).  its a good story and the artwork is excellent and clearly displays his printmaking background from our very own Eastern Michigan University.  GO EAGLES…or hurons.

I don’t know if anyone’s seen this,
but it’s pretty insanely amazing.

I’m curious to know what people think of this design… I’m re-designing a college site, annnnd… now I have no opinion of what I’ve made so far, which is a problem. The photo is actually going to be a video/photo slideshow Flash insert. And, those two boxes are like widgets you’ll be able to move around and customize.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!
