forget the film watch the titles
Saturday, September 5th, 2009
amazing website called FORGET THE FILM WATCH THE TITLES that’s part of submarine channel, an aggregator of interesting design projects on the web. pretty beautifully laid out sight too. FORGET THE FILM… showcases title sequences from movies in categories of Animation, Motion Graphics, Mixed Media and 3D Titles. amazing resource for anyone interested in time-based graphics. the collection also gives detailed descriptions of the films and premise of each sequence as well as completely crediting the designers and studios responsible.
here are a few of my fave title sequences :
Juno
Irréversible
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Intimate Ennemies
Wimbeldon
A Fistful of Dollars

i’ve never played this game / don’t ever want to play this game / will probably never play this game, but this post on pentagram’s rebranding of guitar hero is amazing - not only for its typographic success, but for the directions commissioned designers took with it and the amazing results.

information design hacks
Friday, September 4th, 2009
just saw this post on urbanprankster.com (via boing boing today that showcased some awesome street sign hackage from L.A. and New Haven, CT. it made me think of the amazing TED Talk by Stefan Sagmeister about “happy design.”
the entire talk is amazing and totally worth listening too, but at around 8:00 he talks about a project by NYC artist “True” in which he replace standard MTA information stickers with life advice. check it out :
also found this example of advisory sign hacks on gothamist :

the above is a snapshot taken on an iMac in room 515 of Pratt Institute’s Manhattan building using an awesome free photobooth clone netapp called cameroid (don’t worry, she asked us to do it!).
professor Christie Shin is asking us to keep tabs on our development over the course of the semester, in her Digital Design class, on a blog, so hooray! you’re in on it too.
you may also notice that there links (to the left of this post, on the sidebar) to other student’s blogs from the class (labeled “des. blog links,” should you be so inclined to compare and contrast our educational experiences.
awes.

so. i haven’t posted anything in forever and i had a great reason to. i was working on an awesome show called FAMILY, written and directed by Tina Satter, artistic director of Half Straddle - a new awesome theater company that i have the pleasure of being a part of. click here for more info and to read our awesome reviews!
i start grad school at Pratt next week for Communications Design and i’m kind of getting my life together in order to make the transition back into student-hood as smooth as possible. (i got a freakin’ student i.d.! awes!!!) part of that includes rearranging my apartment to make a better work space, and in the process throw out a ton of shit. in my riffling through papers today, i found the following notes i took from watching the home shopping network at my parents house last year. whenever i’m back in NJ, i will only watch the home shopping network (i don’t own a tv myself). the people on that channel are the best bullshitters in the world. here are my notes :
CLASSIC WAIST
CROSS STRETCH
DENIM BOOT CUT PANTS
“and you do have side slits…”
“oh! no shock there, the velvet shirt is sold out.”
“it will be a go-to pant…”
amazing.

the high line
Monday, June 29th, 2009
so last week, nathan and i went to the high line, which, as some of you may know, is a brand new park / greenspace built on the old high line railway that runs from the meat-packing district to 34th st…
and i texted.
but seriously…
this place is amazing. i’ve read about the construction of this “park” for years, and am so glad that it was executed with such specificity and attention to detail. we initially wandered into the meat-packing district to view the amazing video installation in the standard hotel by marco brambilla and ended up strolling down the six bock promenade that comprises the semi-completed once-elevated-train-turned-wildflower-bonanza.

green times square?
Wednesday, June 24th, 2009
so i’ve been back in the city for almost a month now from my european adventure, and one of the things i’ve been attempting to do now that i’m back is to take advantage of the various cultural events and sites that give nyc it’s “best city on earth” moniker.
one such thing that i read about from abroad was the pedestrianization of times square. i had heard that they closed broadway and put out some lawnchairs. i thought that this endeavor would be approached with some kind of artistry or tact, rather than the random placement of cheap lawn chairs scattered amongst orange-coned off asphalt areas.
now i know that it’ll probably look real nice when they finish all the construction and plant some trees, but right now, it’s like a tailgate party that never ends.
enjoy my crappy cell-phone pics after the jump.

standard video art
Wednesday, June 24th, 2009
civilization by Marco Brambilla on vimeo from boing boing.
Civilization is a video installation we created with artist/director Marco Brambilla for the elevators Standard Hotel in NYC. It’s comprised of over 400 video clips and it takes elevator passengers on a trip from hell to heaven as they go up or from heaven to hell as they go down.
anyone been here? i went to the standard in l.a. a long time ago, but haven’t been to the new york one yet. this installation looks awesome.
i wonder if you can see it without renting a room.
