Sherlock Holmes

I watched Sherlock Holmes yesterday. Although I missed the opening credits of the movie, I was glued to my seat for the closing credits of the film. Beautiful mix of illustration, calligraphy and ink blots.



Fully <3 ed it.

5th annual Typophile film festival opening credits

Handmade by students and faculty at Brigham Young University (BYU), the opening-title for the 5′th annual Typophile Film Festival, is a bona fide type de force. Uniquely inspired by the 5 Senses, the designers stir up a theme that describes how sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch inform human creativity.

It is amazing to see how differently they have used typography to show these five senses.

Le Grand Content

We saw this in class today amongst other motion-type info graphic videos. It tries to mimic the language of powerpoint but ends up being unbelievably poetic :)

Le Grand Content examines the omnipresent Powerpoint-culture in search for its philosophical potential. Intersections and diagrams are assembled to form a grand 'association-chain-massacre'. which challenges itself to answer all questions of the universe and some more. Of course, it totally fails this assignment, but in its failure it still manages to produce some magical nuance and shades between the great topics death, cable tv, emotions and hamsters.
