Congratulations in order to interactive art director Jim Hall, who has gone and won himself a prestigious Site of the Day on TheFWA. Quite rightly so, he’s crafted together a fun and innovative site which allows users to create another sort of music ‘track’. Lay down the road tracks and then by adding houses, street lights, or trees and bushes you get different notes play out as a car drives around. He’s already got some pre-made, including classics like ‘Beat It’ by Michael Jackson.
Not only a smart piece of Flash development, but some neat design and a lovely style of illustration similar to the likes of Eboy really helps bring character to the site.

Year of the Rabbit from Frater on Vimeo.

Saw this nice little animation today in aid of the celebrations for the new Chinese year and it being Year of the Rabbit. Benji Davies & Jim Field from Frater Films designed and directed the short animation. Love the contrasting black and whites, which really helps the illustrative linear style.

Gung Hay Fat Choy!

Dan Mountford has created some beautiful graphics, including this set of double exposures.
“This was created ‘In camera’ & colour was edited in photoshop & Vectors overlayed in illustrator.” He’s got a tonne more over at his Flickr page, but I’m really feeling the portrait shots combined with the landscape exposures; really gives a sense of depth of who that person is, where they may have come from, and builds on their character.
