Following the Behance Year in Review - Ukraine was the most growing community on the creative network. Frankly they selected only 3 projects by category, though with reasonable certainty "Ohhio Knits" designed by Anna Marinenko reserved its place as it should. Merely a year ago Anna, a Kiev-based handcrafting artist, was captivated by an unusual material that sparked an idea to knit a blanket with a supersized ties using hands instead of spokes. That's how a Kikstarter's success - Ohhio project started. By this time her project is baked 10 times more than she estimated leaving her a lot of evenings to create and dispatch the orders made by earlier supporters. With no doubts Anna shows us the way how a small idea become a great path in a life.

Contemporary electronic music producer Histibe is celebrating 2 years since release of his album "Take the Form (Rare Edition)" premiering new music video for track "FOT3D" that includes animation by experimental Dutch visual artist Siegfried Bekkers and logo design by respectable American graphic designer Joe Perez.
Forms Of The 3rd Dimension (stylized as "FOT3D") is a 3D animation video with "stream of consciousness" ideas, which takes a part of your mind into another dimension. The raw greenish style of textures fits perfectly to the "stream of consciousness” concept of the video. It’s not a real world. It’s a deep inner-world that reflects and generates images of the "other side” with various associations, experience and ideas that are incomplete and in the process of its creation. Its greenish color reflects the world of plants. Ideas are like plants: once an idea germinates in your mind, you can’t stop it. It has a will of its own. An idea only needs you to come to life, and once it has been born, it grows with its own logic. It doesn’t need you to exist anymore. You can’t stop ideas. Like music, ideas are free spirits, floating freely around us.
