In Motion: Stop Motion Animation ‘Grindin’

Jake Blog Post Animation, In Motion, music video, stop motion, Video 1205 Views

Here is a stop motion music video that must’ve taken months to complete. It’s so impressive what the animator came up with using blocks of colored wood.

I don’t think I could ever devote so much time to one project like this. It must take a lot of dedication to pull something like this off.

After months of talking about going camping and never actually doing anything about it, we have picked a place, made a reservation and started the preparation for our upcoming camping trip! We are so excited for a little weekend trip away. This will be Pixel’s first camping trip. I just know He’s going to love the warm days relaxing in the sun and the cool nights by the fire.

In Motion: History of Nintendo

Jake Blog Post Design, Graphic Design, In Motion, Motion Graphics, Video 971 Views

Today I have an awesome motion graphics video for you. This is a visual history of Nintendo up to 2012 by Anthony Veloso and Quentin Dron. Check it out:

What I love most about this animation is that they took the time to pick out great textures to lay over the vector illustrations. It gives the flat shapes and colors a little punch that makes it look much more interesting.

Trader Joe’s Packaging

Jamie Bartlett Blog Post Food, Graphic Design, Packaging, Trader Joe's 2849 Views

I love grocery shopping at Trader Joe’s for many reasons. It’s walking distance from our apartment. They have less options; which means faster/easier shopping for a girl who always wants to see all her options before she picks anything. Their ingredient lists often only has a few items listed, all off which I can recognize/pronounce. And I love shopping there because of their packaging.

I love their packaging! It makes what you buy there feel more special. At Christmas time I could have bought the whole store. It’s kind of silly but my dream is to one day design some of their packaging. I have no idea how I would even go about pursuing that but I still think It would be so fun.

These are just a few of my favorites that I found in my cabinets.

We thought that it was about time we add a new column here on the blog. For this column we will pick a topic and each choose an item we like. We’re really excited about this one. It’s a post we can do together and in the process maybe even show you how different or similar our taste in things are. I hope you enjoy our new column. Do you have a topic you’d like to see: ice cream flavor, music, typeface? Let us know! We would love to get more ideas.
