Inspiration: Solar

23.09.2008

Solar is a beautiful, award-winning animated short created by Ian Wharton and Edward Shires.

The two graduate students from Cumbria Institute of the Arts worked on the project for seven months from February to June 2008. The result of their work is an inspiring example of art in motion.

Two of the coolest css showcases have featured my portfolio!

CSSMania is the largest (and most updated) CSS showcase on the web and DesignShack is a UK based web design gallery that claims to “only offer the cream of great design”.

These are two of my favourite daily sources of inspiration and its great to be a tiny little part of their websites. Click on the images below to pay them a visit.

50’s and 60’s Poster Collection on Flickr

16.06.2008

This is a great collection of 50’s and 60’s artwork found by Hamish Grant and compiled on his Flickr photo set. Fantastic source of inspiration for us designers.

Hamish describes the set as a “collection of over 200 35mm Kodachrome slides of travel and marketing posters from the 1950’s and 1960’s“.

I have just joined Emotech to work as a full-time Interactive Designer. I’ll be working on creative concepts, interface design and flash animations.

I have already been working as a freelance designer for Emotech since 2007. Now that I finally arrived in Australia, the Creative Director Steve Barrett offered me the job and I took it.

Adelaide, Australia

After an exhausting 30-hour flight (and over 12.000 kilometres) I have arrived in Adelaide, holding a Skilled Visa. My fiancée Paula and I will be living in a temporary accomodation in Glenelg until we can find a permanent place somewhere in the city.

We are extremely happy and looking forward to our aussie experience.
