Type Made From Fragments Of Famous Artworks

in , ,

"The latest project from quirky Israeli typographer Oded Ezer takes one feature of a famous artwork, like the Mona Lisa, Van Gogh's self-portrait or Vermeer's Girl With A Pearl Earring, and uses it to create a typeface, to hilarious and disturbing effect. The typeface made of the surf from Katsushika Hokusai's The Great Wave off Kanagawa is innocent enough. But things get weird when Mona Lisa's finger is used to form a letter V or Van Gogh's mustache to create a T. Ezer's best typeface by far uses a piece Michelangelo's David, but we'll leave the specifics of that one a surprise." writes FastCo

One Second Animated Everyday

in , ,

You might remember the mobile app we supported 2 years ago and still use it to create an endless archive of our lives by recording a second a day. Here is a guys (actually brothers) that went further and without the help of any app. Meet The Brothers McLeod and their award-winning animation "365". Greg animated one second of animation every day for the 365 days of the year 2013. There was no storyline, script or storyboard. The ideas come from things read, seen or experienced on the day, with a little artistic license for good measure. http://vimeo.com/83155234
