Birth of a book

In an era where almost everything is online, where almost every data is now digital, I think I love books more than ever. This video is a great way to remember what’s behind a book, and why it is such an amazing and beautiful object.

For the quality of the video, and the really original view angle of some shots.

Using photoshop in real life? A dream of any graphic designer and photograph I suppose…

A really nice opening sequence, for the film Bunraku by Guy Moshe. To be seen in full screen.

Seconds of beauty

Sometime, only one second of video is enough to get a feeling. And that’s the main idea behind this project.

And the explanation by Wim Wenders

And more detail on the contest page… yes… little bit sad to discover that it’s part of a contest for a brand…

Montréal, Sydney, Vancouver, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Beijing, Barcelona

EF Language Schools, an international schools specialized in international internship had made a few really interesting video on the last months. Following the concept “live the language”, the videos presents cities around the world. The typography work inside the video is well done, but what I like the most is definitely the feeling you have when watching them. I’ve visited all those cities, except from Beijing and Barcelona, and the atmosphere in each video fits well with the city it describe. Maybe there should be more historical building in Paris, and Montreal is more about hockey than Vancouver, but still… those video definitely give a good preview. With, as I said, a really interesting typography work.

Interesting QR ad… should have been an Augmented Reality app

An interesting idea for an ad in a magazine, using QR code. But I think that an Augmented Reality app would have been even better because of the social interaction in gathering.

National Geographic augmented reality

Augmented reality is just at its early beginning, but we already can see lot of advertising using this technology, and it’s probably going to be one of the major trends in 2012. This advertising for National Geographic, in an hungarian commercial center is a nice preview of what we can expect.
