CGTantra.com - Home LCSV4 The Illustration News Portal Imprint-The Online Community for Graphic Designers | ICON Reax, Part 1: Is Animation the Future of Illustration? © Scott Gandell So Print – as in “print” – has launched its daily blog (the good news is that it’s not called “Out Of Print.”) But what else can be said about publishing’s future? This issue was the primary topic of discussion and debate throughout the ICON 6 illustration conference. Held at the Langham Hotel – formerly Huntington Ritz Carlton – in Pasadena last week, ICON’s sixth biennial was packed with information about the business, art, and heritage of the field. Over the four days, there was a Clayton Brothers studio tour and stage presentations by Kathryn Adams, Sammy Harkham, Christoph Niemann, Todd Oldham, Gary Taxali, and dozens of others: no one will easily forget Wayne White’s riveting George Jones Giant Head banjo solo. But it was the opening ceremonies panel, “The Future of Publishing: The Great Transformation,” that galvanized the audience. Just about everyone who heard the talk seemed bursting to share their opinions. © Thomas James Stagnant water stinks. © Steve Simpson

Outsource to freelance professionals, experts, and consultants - Get work done on Elance Buzzman TV Sustainable Life Media | Smart. Sustainable. Business. blog Congratulations to Michael Rinnan for winning the Five Second Project for March. His entry had a great concept and was outfitted with excellent lighting, atmosphere, camera movements and sound design. We wanted to know a little bit more about Michael’s entry, so we asked him a few questions regarding his workflow and the process for creating his winning piece. Where do you work? I am a 3D generalist at NFL films in Mt. How did you come up with your concept for the Bright Lights Five Second Project? For my concept, my goal was to come up with a quick story I could tell in 5 seconds. What was the most challenging thing about your project? The most challenging part of this project was honestly the lighting. Tell us a little about how you achieved the zolly (push-pull zoom) effect. To achieve the zolly, I initially mapped out the motion of the motorcycles with a spline and then dropped a camera onto that motion path. What renderer was used? How long did your piece take to make?
Art & Business of Motion | TV Identity & Media Branding Logo Design History - Famous Logos Adidas - a name that stands for competence in all sectors of sport all over the world. Adidas was founded by Adolf (Adi) Dassler, who started producing shoes in the 1920s with the help of his brother Rudolf Dassler who later formed rival shoe company PUMA AG. Adi Dassler's aim was to provide every athlete with the best possible equipment. For this he followed three guiding principles: design the best shoe for the requirements of the sport, protect the athlete from injury, and make the product durable. Today, the Adidas brand product range extends from shoes, apparel and accessories for basketball, soccer, fitness and training to adventure, trail and golf. The company's clothing and shoe logo designs typically feature three parallel stripes, and this same motif is incorporated into Adidas's current official logo. free logo download eps
