Youtubeduplication — I.M.H.O. →

This was my favourite song of yesterday. I knew nothing about the artist, Touch Sensitive. I heard it on a mixtape, tweeted it, and played … I’m trying to direct all longer from writing to Medium. This piece is about duplicate songs uploaded to Youtube.

Gaussian Blurred Rap Videos

Gaussian blurred rap videos is a single topic blog that myself and co-worker Rhys Hillman launched today. The concept is pretty simple: You screenshot a frame from a rap video and apply a 30 pixel gaussian blur filter to it. It takes about 10 seconds, and you’re left with an aesthetically pleasing composition. It’d be cool to apply the blur to the whole clip, but that takes a bit...

At 7:30 pm, almost 7 years ago, I downloaded this image off Volcom’s homepage. Why I downloaded it, I’m not exactly sure. There’s two reasons. 1: I liked the look of it as a desktop background and/or 2: I needed ‘inspiration’ for a school project. At the time I was studying the second unit of Visual Communication at High School, so artistic reference would...

"Prompt"

‘A users understanding of your application improves over time.’ The more we use these apps, the better we get to know them. The app doesn’t become more efficient, we become more efficient at using it. We make up our own shortcuts, we prefer working full screen, or we style a unique layout of toolbars and actions to save as a preset. At my work, when all the creatives upgraded to...

Good guy musicians

I’ll try and find some more examples of this kind of stuff. Very successful way of swinging earned media to ageing stars, who have big fanbase and are generally well liked, but may not have much fresh interest. Usually makes for a feel-good video, which is what we’re all after anyway right?

Discovery Channel » Making Of (by featherwax) I’m a sucker for images like this, high contrast lighting, dramatic shadows etc. But I was surprised to see how much of this was done in post, and how average the original shots were, especially of the fisherman. The underwater scene is a nice touch: It’s a mark of good retouching when you understand the focal point of the image, and...

Omnipotent Design

When we talk about ‘design’, it’s hard to know what we’re actually talking about. I still don’t really know. But what I’ve come to learn over the past year or so, is that if you want your work to really mean something in the world, which I think is asking a lot for this profession (a lot would be happy to drink beers and pay the bills), you need to have a gorilla grip on the idea of omnipotent...

“Bicycle companies are spending so much money on professional sports and athletes...”

– Stray Cat Bicycles: “Why you don’t see bicycle commercials on TV” I wonder if the stats are the same in oz? I feel like the ‘culture’ of commuting to work on a bike is fairly well accepted in the mainstream.

Easy news

I follow AFP and Reuters on twitter. Occasionally I click through to the articles to read more. It’s hard news, facts, summaries and short, concise quotes. It struck me that in any kind of news, whether it be print or online, the content is broken into very short chunks. I’ve done no research on this (as usual), so I don’t know if there’s a scientific/historic reason for...
