Design Inspiration ::: Milton Glaser

Monday, March 30th, 2009

I was revisiting an artist series directed by Hillman Curtis today after work slowed down a bit. They are truly some of the most inspirational films I’ve seen that focus on some of the biggest names in design and have impacted the world as we know it today (even if you’ve never heard of them).

Hands down, the most inspirational designer to me is Milton Glaser.

But what the video interview offers is a look into his philiosophy, how he looks at the world and why he’s stayed so passionate about design and teaching.

“None of us have the ability to understand our path until it’s over.”
“…because you have access to people’s minds and you communicate
to people…there is a corresponding responsibility…”
-Milton Glaser

Cut and Paste “See What’s Possible” Challenge

Friday, March 27th, 2009

For all of you Adobe® nuts out there, I’m sure you’ve been following this little contest held by Cut and Paste and Adobe® to “compose an engaging animation or motion graphic video incorporating the Photoshop brand logo that illustrates the theme of ‘See What’s Possible.’” The participants were only permitted to use Adobe software (Adobe® Photoshop®, Flash®, and/or After Effects® to be exact) to create 15 second long entries.  The resulting short films are outstanding and totally worthy of the Grand Prize!

Here’s an hoorable mention I enjoyed:
The Experiment by The Action Cats at GSP

And the Grand Prize winner of the contest:
Explore by 3 Wagons Deep
