Wilderness downtown












This is an internet experience developed as an experiment by Chris Milk. I hadn't seen anything of its kind before, and it questioned my perception of the future of web advertising. It features a track by 'arcade fire,' and allows the viewer an intimate, exciting and innovative web experience looking into a past time. It is called The Wilderness Downtown

Trapcode

I found a really good blog today, after effects has been a growing passion of mine throughout this year, and seeing the variety of things you can do with it still amazes me! A friend was showing me a piece of software called "Trapcode" which works as a plugin through After Effects.

Will iphone apps still be a sustainable design industry in the next ten years or is it a bridge to a new technology?

I have included a recent iphone application that has caught my eye for Stephen Fry's autobiography, it is called 'myfry' and allows the viewer an innovative new way of reading books, but ill let the video describe how...
