Logo designs: medical

Some great logo’s that have some great visual aspects! I love the difference in shapes and colors! You can see some different combination of shapes and colors; some are grey and quite cold while others are colorful and warm. It shows what you can do with logo’s!

“Huiskamer” logo by Laurens Beil

This logo is made by Laurens and I think it’s pretty interesting because of the shapes and child like look. It looks like the letters are made with building blocks that kids use to play with.

Concept artwork bij Tony Holmsten

Some great artwork bij Tony Holmsten. This is a creation where he shows a geyser that is exploding under the feets of the enemy suddenly freezing to ice. Great drawing with nice details and something you don’t see everyday! I like the manga style that is present in this artwork.

This is of his concept arts which I think looks great! I get a paradise feeling from this scene and it kind of reminds me of Lord of the Rings where they had a meeting with all the races. Anyway, it can just come out of a great RPG game with a great story. The scene is just breathtaking.

I find this piece interesting because it shows different states of a scene with different feelings in it. The first picture shows some kind of war scene, while the second one shows something peaceful and the last one is like something good is going to happen. Very interesting use of colors to change the feeling of a scene! Reminds me of photographing at different times which creates different feelings as well.

Daily life madness! by Sandrone Estrade Boulet

This series made me laugh! First of all because I did a guerrilla marketing assignment just a few days ago and this could be quite helpful! Second because the images are just so funny! Sandrine Estrade Boulet made adjustments to pictures so they look like a character. My favourites from above are garbage bags on the streets where it looks like people are in there, the can facing down in the snow like it trip or something, and the road block that is hugging itself. If this isn’t a great example of creativity then I don’t know what is!

Radek Karkulowski – Peak Oil

This is an illustration for an articale discussing peak oil subject (ESS newspaper). I like the illustration becuase it combines illustration with a photo (oil pump). It also quite actual and nicely colored.

Wella

A really great picture that is a marketing advert for Koleston Hair Colours. You can see that the color is great, nice and bright red. But if you look at it a different way you see lips forming because of the highlights and shadows. Greatly done and another creative way to advertise!

Untitled inspiration

A cigarette in the shape of a shotgun! A great way to let people know that smoking is deadly. Great idea for advertising and to make people aware of the dangers of smoking.

Reach for the Sky

I like this work because of the diversity in the image. Colors, animals, a kid, paint, toys, clouds, a house and much more! Much to look at which can be very inspiring.

Atomic Circus

Another diversity work with a lot to see. Only two colors seem to be used; blue and yellowish in multiple tones. The coloring gives the image a classic feeling, also the the drawing style helps with that. Lovely artwork!

Adam Kimmel presents: Claremont HD

A really freaking video of the guys that go down hill on a skateboard doing some really dangerous stuff! The exchange the camera to each other multiple times in the video and you can see them taking over cars on the road, so they are really going fast! Some really great video material.

Stomacher – Untitled/Dard Divider

Great video where the author used a Canon 5DmkII (same camera as I have!) to make a nice time lapse video. I don’t know what it is but I seem to be a sucker for time lapse video’s The video shows some great places in fast motion with a great tune in the background.

The Balance

A video that uses 3D Animation to show the beauty of Korea. Great work with great quality. This is something I want to explore more in my future education, I think it’s a minor that I can choose to learn this. I just love the feeling this video gives, nicely done!

Made a essay today for MEDMEC. Should have done this last wednesday, but becuase of my vacation I couldn’t. Anyway, here it is:

Presentatie

Today I’ve been working on my Media and Creativity assignment. We had to do some research about co-creation, what is it, how does it work and why you want to use it. I needed to have at least 5 different sources and 5 different examples, I think I did that just right Well, the report is attached to this message, so if you want to have a look at it be my quest! Oh, before you click it, it’s Dutch, sorry about that but I have to make my assignments in Dutch

Co Creation – V1

Today I did a assignment for Media and Creativity. This assignment was about finding 10 different ways to make a tall ‘building’ with only paper. You can’t use any tools at all; so no scissors, glue or tape, only paper (normal paper). It was pretty fun although it cost me a lot of time. For this assignment I pulled out my Origami book I bought in Japan. There where some things in it I could use, like making a balloon (and flatting out two sides so you can put them on each other) or making a pyramide shaped box!

It was really funny. Below are some photo’s of what I made tonight! (yeah I’m kind of proud! )

Below you will find the documents I placed in my proces map. Every document is in Dutch and is about a other subject, sorry that it couldn’t be one big document.

Zojuist heb ik mijn opdracht voor het vak Media en Creativiteit afgemaakt. Deze opdracht bestond uit het maken van een handleiding zonder hier worden bij te gebruiken. Je mocht dus alleen beelden gebruiken, dat mag getekend zijn, op de computer of met een camera. Echter is mij vorige week uitgelegd dat je ook eens dingen anders moet doen, niet elke keer hetzelfde! Dus inplaats van dat ik mijn camera heb gebruikt ben ik dit keer aan de slag gegaan met potlood en papier om een recept uit te tekenen die ik graag gebruik! Zie hieronder het resultaat Wellicht dat ik morgen de achtergrond nog aanpas, maar dat zie ik dan wel!
