I recently watched a beautiful video interviewing illustrator and animator Pascal Campion. It is such a engaging and poignant watch that I had to share it. Enjoy!
This weekend Kyri and I headed down to check out the Mail Me Art Exhibition in Stockwell. The exhibition has a very simple theme; artist from all over mail artwork on envelops, postcards, boxes and even wood. It has attracted some top illustrators in the past such as Catalina Estrada, Michael Slack and Jon Burgerman.
I have just stumbled across a wonderful animation. It is by The RSA based on a talk given by Professor Philip Zimbardo. It is such an engaging and well executed short. Enjoy!
Design trends keep evolving and moving along with the times; and as all brands shift into the modern era, we take a look some of the worst logo re-vamps of recent times.
1. Pepsi
This boring and pointless re-vamp surely puts Pepsi on the top of our pile. The old logo was a classic, a true icon of our times and to see it go for something as uninspired as this is a real shame.
After all the politics we have posted recently, I felt a wind down was in order. Here is the video for ‘Look’ from French musician Sébastien Tellier. The video was created by Mrzyk & Moriceau and has an amazing hypnotic quality to it. Sit back and enjoy.
One of my favourite illustrators, Cory Godbey, has completed an absolutely amazing short animation called ‘bit and run’ staring Nintendo’s Mario.
He has been documenting his process on his blog and it’s great to see the final animation.

“The bill, which passed through the Lords by 165 votes to 140, now enables the High Court to issue an injunction against sites suspected of hosting material that infringes copyright and effectively force them to shut down.” – International Business Times.
It looks like all parties have a stand on the bill with the Lib Dems spear-heading the whole thing now wanting to ban site such as YouSendIt and now even YouTube!

more>>I spent all morning reading up on the ‘Digital Economy Bill’ after receiving a link that outlines fears the bill ‘wipe out indie WiFi hotspots’. Reading further into what the bill proposes; it really will affect the way we use the internet. First and foremost the bill’s intent is to stop illegal downloading and file-sharing. Though that is just one part, the key areas of the bill listed on the parliament.uk website are:
- extends the role of Ofcom to include reporting on communications infrastructure and media content
- imposes obligations on internet service providers to reduce online copyright infringement, and allows the Secretary of State to amend copyright legislation to the same end
- allows the Secretary of State to intervene in internet domain name registration
- requires Channel Four to provide public service content on a range of media
- provides more flexibility over the licensing of Channel 3 and Channel 5 services and allows Ofcom to appoint providers of regional and local news
- modifies the licensing regime to facilitate switchover to digital radio
- allows variation of the public service provision in Channel 3 and 5 licences
- provides Ofcom with additional powers in relation to electromagnetic spectrum access
- extends the range of video games that are subject to age-related classification
- makes provision for the regulation of copyright licensing
- includes non-print formats in the public lending right payment scheme
Just came across this video by Matt Edgar, it is intended to encourage learning in children, but to be honest after watching it I am raring to go out and learn!
