hey Gang,
Happy Holidays. I found some links via Motionographer.
The hands one is certainly inspiring, and it’s probably possible
with the trapcode plugins - psst…DD should get a license for
them. Looking forward to the New Year…

In the process of helping a student prepare for their final project I have been messing with flickr. So far I have tagged 11,000+ images with there RGB value. This will provide all sorts of neat applications. The flickr colr pickr is way better then my version at this point but not for long. Let me know what you think.
just added to my del.icio.us links :
Hi All:
As you may or may not know, Brett, Ritchie Macapinlac from Foundation, and I have been working long hours over the last few months to launch Rouxbe. Brett developed the Flash player (which has now been patented), Ritchie worked on the site’s back-end architecture and functionality and I designed the player and website.
Rouxbe provides instructional cooking videos that walk you step by step through each yummy food recipe…
Check out the site, give us feedback and invite your peeps to join in as well! We will also be conducting a formal usability sessions over the next month. If you want to more about the project or want to get involved let us know!

Hi Folks,
The Russian magazine “Identity” does a contest each year for the best indentity design.
Here’s the link for this year: http://www.artgraphics.ru/identity/best2006eng.html
What’s worth noting for Digital Design students are the full identity packages (in the second half of the article). When you’re thinking of doing a branding project, take a look at how important it is to have a good set of brand applications (i.e. not just a brand guide and business card or token flyer.) The brand guide sets out the rules but its the application of the brand that proves that it can work.
So here’s the question to consider: how much experimentation with application should happen during the identity development process? Should you wait until the identity is completely defined before trying it out?
I wanted to share my latest experiments in Flash. Background, I have been really interested in coming up with a elegant way of creating programmatic shape tweens for use in programmatic animations. I found this really great image distortion class that is part of the SANDY project that hold a lot of promise. Anyway here are my two experiments so far.
