Meetdraw

Last night I went out to a night called Meetdraw. This is an event for creatives based in and around Bournemouth and they invite a host of design agency's to socialise with. This was the first time I had been, and I have to say that I quite enjoyed myself, another plus point was that Duncan was there, so I could talk to him about 3 sided cube. He asked if I could send him my animation so he could show the people in his office, So I will get on that asap!

design buddies meeting 1?

So today was officially the first day I was going to meet up with my buddy. His name is Duncan Cook and he is managing director of a company called 3 sided cube, who are a digitally creative agency based in the Enterprise Pavillion in Bournemouth. Unfortunately he was working on a project so couldn't turn up for the first meeting. It was disappointing because it would have been a really good opportunity to get to know what he was about, the food was good though, and it was interesting to see what the other buddy's were like.

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.
It allows the user to create different types of visualisations through different shapes, and I always wondered whether there was a programme that souley creates visualisers. Well this programme users after effects to help create it. The blog I found shows loads of examples of "Trapcodes" capability's, anything from film titles to small self initiated projects.

web design placement?

I have been in contact with a web design agency, whom have recently been interested in taking a few students on for a rolling placement over this year. I jumped at the chance to take any experience in the web design industry as it is one of the areas I am keen on going into. While I have done some research on what the jobs of a web design worker does, being able to see it first hand would help me a lot.

The un-named agency are quite a small company who specialise in web design and iphone applications. I know little to nothing about iphones or iphone apps for that matter so I am questioning whether I should research a bit into why I'm hearing more about them all the time. 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...
