Fallout 3 booklet

This promotional booklet for Fallout 3 is fantastic. Don't know if its great advice for surviving in a post nuclear Armageddon world but great design/illustration/humor.

Cool.

Amazing 15 year old photographer

Wow.

Ralph Mastromonaco

Ralph is one of my classmates in RIT's New Media Design Program. Short of it is that he's awesome and will be a big name in the future. Here's some of his work.





Ralphs videos.

Daft Punk Dancing Girl

Here's a really nice YouTube video I stumbled upon. I thought this was a blast, the double timing gives it alot of fun and lets her move more like a cartoon than a girl. It's some excellent animation reference too and a good concept (dancing to slowed music then speeding it up in post). There's some great timing and some very nice poses in the first 30 seconds (love the first bit and how she comes out of it) but it kinda' drags on and doesn't really bring anything new.

A lot could be done with this concept. Anyway I thought it was cool live action and neat from a character animation perspective.

Great Family Old Photos

Amazing site of photos people have found in their attics.

Aged paper is great

Here's a 40 year old dust jacket I stole from the library's donations bin. I love the subtle things time does to paper. The softness of the letters, the variations in the colors, the unifying texture and color of it.

Explosions make things awesome.

Lightning

Wow.

Mozilla's Next Gen Broser Concept

Aurora (Part 1) from Adaptive Path on Vimeo.

Aurora. Looks fancy. Don't know about the radial button for all functions.

Mr. Lee's Cat Cam

This cat is one good photographer. Some interesting photographic perspectives.

Some things I've learned at the library

Penguin books are always well designed. Including the Pelican series.


In the 60s.


And today.


Chuck Palahniuk books tend to be well designed.





Such awesome book design. Can't find any images of the back or spine which are just as cool. If you can't see, the negative space of the letters is naked chicks. My kinda' design.

Michael Chabon's books are also frequently well designed
