But here are a few that i like from the past week or two - been so snowed under at work that by the time i get round to the sketchbook my brains turned to mush and i end up drawing pirates (one of which i’ve included - ya hah me harties, urgh!) eating ice creams and battling with giant lollypops.
The reason i’ve been soooo busy is that i was set the challenge of making one of my doodles into a 3d model (in a peice of software i’ve never used - and not having touched any 3d modeling software for so many years) and then animate it for a TV show, also showing the design process from sketch to render. Well, i think i’ve managed to pull it off, and as soon as i have a draft, i”ll post it - as well as that, numerous new interactives for CNN including a new style of quiz, and a video type one coming up.
*phew*
oh, yeah, if you’re a designer, and around brighton in the future - look out for Skillswap, organized by Clearleft - went to it with Andy last week, and aswell as being a good chance to chat to people of a similar ilk, you may get an idea or two.
On another note, went to the Beachdown Festival over the weekend - a bit of an organizational nightmare to start with (cummon, one burger van for the entire campsite), but sitting in a natural amphitheatre watching the magic numbers, the beat and fun lovin criminals made up for the first night - had to bale early as the weather was awful, but i would recomend it for next year.
