Amelia Roberts - global warming...

A pair of photography based pieces of design, commenting on chinas carbon emissions and americas involvement in the problem. It gets the point across clearly and concisely while maintaining a quirky look. When looked at side by side it delievers a powerful messege.

Muto wall animation

MUTO a wall-painted animation by BLU from blu on Vimeo.

Incredible video by blu. It must of took so long to animate the whole thing, it just keeps going and going. The out of the box thinking of combining animation with street art is really good. Its one of those simple ideas that you'd wish you'd thought of. Its executed really well. The soundtrack matches the animation and adds a certain something that makes it even more cool. I think the ending could of been improved, possibly building up to something really dramatic that pulls out all the stops. The interaction with the environment around was cool as well, and added a better sense of connection with the world.

Matrix ping pong...

black suits make this game of ping pong game really funny. Its a clever lo-fi way of getting a point across. Theres a lot of adverts out there that use the comedy edge to sell, and i think these work the best. They get discussed by everyone a lot more than a strictly cool or flashy video would.

phobias...

Displaying graphically and simply something really interesting has always appealed to me, such as this poster of phobias. I think some of the icons could be worked on, but its a cool idea, and would definitely draw me into looking at it.

Word search...

an amazing idea for an all over tshirt print, this is a giant animal wordsearch, from afar it looks like a standard pattern, but when you get close you realise what it truely is, could get annoying as strangers are bound to try and find the animals, but hours of fun none the less. i think i could be executed slightly better as the red ring is in a wierd place, but overall very cool.

Felice Varini is amazing, he basicly takes locations and then paints on a pattern so that from a certain angle it looks like there are perfect geometric shapes in allignment, i would love to do this to one of my rooms in my house, its a really cool visual effect.

Paul Alexander Thornton has a really cool illustration style that i dig. It mixes roughness with very accurate drawings, i love that contrast between messy and precise, i wish i had the talent to draw like this.
