• Get with the Classics

    / Comments (0)

    We're really liking these re-imagined book covers by Portland designer, Cassidy Hersey. We like the bold, contemporary design and visual direction she took these concept pieces. There's something very cool about re-designing a classic piece of work as an experiment to extend your range as a designer. Nice work.

    Here's an interesting concept video put together by San Francisco animation studio Aatma. The spot features 10,000 iPhones falling neatly in a variety of patterns. The CG iPhones' feature NFC (Near Field Communications), a technology that enables content to be passed from one iPhone to another. This iPhone video is imagined as a possible advertisement for the next iteration of the iPhone 5, which could feature the NFC technology. Neat concept.

    Iggy Pop is hilarious. Check out this commercial for the new Stooges album, Ready to Die, coming out in late April. It's hard to stay true to your roots when you're pampered — apparently it's even harder when you're broke.

    We are digital explorers and and amateur archivists looking to bring you visually interesting work daily. We spend long hours combing through piles of work to bring you some of the most creative stuff we can find locally and beyond. But we know there are literally thousands of artists, musicians, boutique agencies and others who fly under our radar — but not under yours.

    So who are we missing? Do you know an awesome, unknown local agency we should highlight? Maybe you have friends who are creating amazing work as illustrators, designers, photographers, filmmakers or one of the other amazing creative fields. Well, pony up those names. Let's get the word out. People need to know. We're taking it on ourselves to tell the Portland creative story, and it's a monumental task.

    Drop us a line and share some of the work and people we haven't come across yet. We love to look at new work, so fire away.

    Finally a viable option for world piece &mdash' okay, maybe not. We always wondered if it might be dessert related. This spot was produced by ad agency, Taylor Strategy.

  • Lee White Redux

    / Comments (0)

    We've shown some of Portland illustrator, Lee White's, work before, but these new illos just came across our desk, and we had to revisit.

    We love the wonder and innocence of Lee's work. Each one of his illustrations does such a great job of portraying a journey in progress, and we love that. Some of his work speaks of mystery and fantasy, while other portions are just friendly and endearing. Whatever the theme, though, it all comes across beautifully.

    Will he be reprising his role as Solo? Oh, yeah. Will he answer any questions on Kimmel? Probably not.

    These teasers for Ukranian children's station, PlusPlus, are not exactly new, but wonderful none-the-less. We love the integration of the simplistic colorful creatures into the real world settings. These were the result of a joint collaboration between UK animation company, Animade, and the wonderfully amazing talents of design firm, Build.
