AND DONE!

well, that's one thing off the never ending list of to-do. also, this taught me an awful lot about creating filters/colour tweaking with photoshop. god damn. that program is so smart.

went on a total ted binge yesterday. here are some highlights;
hans rosling on the growth trends in the spread of aids.


aaaaand julia sweeny on her religious convictions

that second one's a total ace bit of storytelling. i could seriously listen to sweeney read the phone book all day long.

pencils for the poster. man, the first crack at this was a total disaster. the composition was super dull and it wasn't drawn with any real idea of how it was going to be coloured. i've come to realise that this is just a really good way to shoot yourself in the foot.

PLAN THAT SHIT OUT, YO.

Milton Glaser – on the fear of failure. from Berghs' Exhibition '11 on Vimeo.

it's a pretty enlightening seven minuets. but shit, dog. could they have chosen a more terrifying still for the preview image?

pencils for the poster. mmmmmaaaybe got a little carried away with the drawing on this one since this is going to get buried under like a bajillion layers in photoshop.

OH WELL.
