Music Graphic

Just an interesting video I caught on Today's Big Thing.  I've been looking into motion graphics lately, and I thought this blended well with the vector work we are doing with our info graphics right now.

VisCom2, Type2, Image Making: Inspiration

So this is an awesome example of our current project I ran across on flicker. Found it through the book cover archive blog site.

Titled MAN AND SPACE

Graphics/Illustrations/progress/final photos of a redesign of 4 chapters from a classic educational book; Time Life Science Library's Man and Space. First printed in 1964.

This book project combines info graphics in a book format, and employs bodies of text not to different from our magazine layouts we are working with in Type 2.  I love the compositions, full bleed diagrams, and the playfulness with empty space. I hope that my compositions turn out just as great.
The use of line and the gradations that they used on them really adds a sense of depth to their otherwise flat, vector based art.

Inspiration: Frederic Gmeiner

These were entries to Frederic Gmeiners extracts of local distance exhibition. The roots in modern architecture really appeal to me, and the way he's able to create both space and dimension in a flat work of art is amazing and beautiful.  They also show their spaces in a creative and informative way that really changes the viewers perspective on the building.
