ode to digital arts video

 I thought I would share this video about digital arts beauty that I created in April 2010

In creating this video I took into consideration the beauty of digital art, infographics and movement paired with music. My concept goal was to create a meaningful and visually pleasing juxtaposition between the vibrant digital art and infographics with the footage of the vibrant nighttime cityscapes.

 

discovering songs, simply

one-track-mind.com

Being all about simplicity this site used to discover music is fresh and free, its not overwhelming like other similar sites that connect you to 3002390 different artists...it keeps you moving and discovering music by giving just a few suggestions hence "one track mind".... the layout is nice and graphically pleasing including gauges determining the songs "repeat listen potential" (which is what makes me love certain songs) also the photos and song descriptions are insightful ....one let down is the annoying hyphens in the URL but with site bookmarks who cares these days?.....discovering music through this site has been pleasurable and the best part is the downloads are legal and free.

Tampa Museum of Art: re-design

The Tampa Museum of Art has undergone a new construction and successfully opened on February 6th 2010 after a "tortuous 10-year process in which visions changed as leaders came and went, three different plans were made and scrapped, feelings were hurt, and millions were spent with little to show for it." (St Pete Times).

I decided I would take a shot at my rendition of the museums "controversial" design. This video takes you through my 3D design and within, I included various noted digital artist's work and my personal corresponding descriptions in the museum's interior. (note: scale was not my main concern) However the visual aspects and highlights of the museum's overall feel and design were considered including the exterior and landscaped grounds.

Bloggers Block?

The first post seems daunting, what shall I start with? Maybe what I am up to currently in the world?... I am going to post my latest works, my thoughts through the days, what I see and feel the world should see and most of it focusing on design, which is something that is always running through my mind.
What do I consider design? As you hear often in other topics of discussion, its not all about 'looks'...its about whats 'inside', functionality....what makes something WORK. Design is just that but not just one or the other it's both.
