Miniature Rocket

by Nicolas Alexander

Miniature Rocket was created by myself and Yaniv Fridman as our final project in the Digital Design program at VFS. The objective was to create an identity and a launching campaign for a new design studio that would specialize in motion graphics. The launch campaign collateral includes a website and stationery material. A one minute video called Polaris was also created as an alternative to the traditional demo reel for the company. Combining 2D, 3D animation, stop motion and classical animation, it is inspired by, and references the art and design of the 20th Century.

Update : featured on Motionographer & No Fat Clips!!!

R.U.Reel?

by Ryan Uhrich

R.U. Reel 08

Hi guys, My name is Ryan Uhrich from DD07. It’s coming up to 1 year since I graduated from VFS, and man, the time has flown by. First off I’d like to congratulate DD10 and wish them my best. I’m sure you’re all super tired by this point.

Well it’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything. I recently created my 2008 portfolio site along with a new showreel. I wanted to share it with all of you. It’s a mix of student work along with commercial broadcast projects I did while working at THANKYOU in Denmark. I just finished it in time for the upcoming ADAA event being held in New York City. Myself along with Marcos Ceravolo are fortunate enough to be finalists in the motion graphics category this year for our final project Duelity. So, wish us luck. :) Fingers crossed.

To the other DD classes to come, keep on rockin’ it.

Best,

Ryan

How to create workflows for RIA?

by Brad Ando

“Ajax and Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) have revolutionized the way users interact with Web sites. However, documenting the design of any page that uses Ajax is a challenge, because the page—and, more importantly, components on the page—can have different states, depending on how users interact with the page’s components.”

Two-Face / Rorschach drawings

by Danny Chan

These drawings were created using the Graffiti application within Facebook. I thought it was timely to share them since The Dark Knight  is still doing well in the theatres, and I’m looking forward to see the Watchmen movie next year.
