No Legacy Blog

Whilst having my portfolio critique with Leigh Hibell from De-Construct in London, he mentioned a blog that they created showcasing their work and various influences they had from around the world including design, art, fashion and photography.

When I got home from the London trip I decided to look at the blog and found some of the work really interesting. I saved the blog as a bookmark and have only just come back to it now.

The blog is really useful and it has been split up into different sections such as 3D, advertising, branding, film, graphic design, motion graphics, title sequences and illustration to name just a few. The easy layout of the blog is really useful and can guide you straight to outstanding pieces of work that maybe you wouldn't of come across before.

Another good thing about the blog is that it is not packed with lots of text about the pieces of work, it just simply shows a picture or a video of the piece and describes who made it and where there from in one short sentence. The bonus of having this is that you get to see various different pieces of work without being over loaded with text and if you were interested in a certain piece of work they have provided a link to each designers website. This is really handy as you don't have to search for the web to try and find more information about the piece of work you are interested in.

What I love about design blogs is that you start looking at inspirational pieces of work and then find something else you love and by the end of it you find something completely different that you would of never of found before. This happened today as I click on the link for Geoff McFetridge who creates animations, title sequences and advertisements. After clicking on his work I found out that he created the title sequence for the film, 'Where The Wild Things Are' which was directed by Spike Jonze and is released later this year.

I couldn't believe that there was a film on, 'Where The Wild Things Are' because I had been a massive fan of the book as child. The trailor looks fantastic and brings back memories of the book. I was really pleased with my findings and it just goes to show how useful blogs as and how you can end up from one source material to something completely different.

Here is the movie trailor for 'Where The Wild Things Are' for anyone who is interested.
