The University of Minnesota provides quite a few great resources that are both excellent and free. Promotion however is often not excellent so events are easy to miss and are not as well attended as they should be. The Upcoming Disruptive Effects symposium is breaking that mold. The bad news is that it isn’t free – though it is still a bargain relative to the cost of many creative industry events. The good news is that Larsen is a sponsor so there are posters and a website and I know about it far enough in advance to blog about it. This symposium is worth considering since it looks like it will break another mold as well. Namely those stale presentations of the presenter’s past work in favor of a multi-disciplinary dialogue about what could be. Take a look, take a chance and take the opportunity to challenge the participants. This may be one time they’ll appreciate the disruption.
the secret of kells isn’t in wide release yet here in the us but i can’t wait to see it. seriously, look at these stills! soooooo beautiful! and i had a hard time narrowing it down to just those! wow.
it’s also the dark horse in this year’s oscar race, so i am hoping that will help it gain wider release. oh, and the ny times had a nice article about the director here.
The Spring Equinox is almost upon us and temperatures today are almost halfway to being tolerable. I’m happy to see the ice on the windows of the bsol studio start to recede.
JESS3 / The State of The Internet from Jesse Thomas on Vimeo.
Here’s a fun to watch presentation originally given by Jesse Thomas at an AIGA Baltimore event that shares a sampling of the staggering statistics on the subject of the internet. Coincidentally the Twin City’s own Spunk Design Machine was just over there so something seems to be afoot in Maryland.
Anyway, this presentation is an interesting exercise in info graphics via video. My only complaint would be that each piece is often broken into a two part delivery that, given the pace, left me struggling to keep up at times. Still it’s lot’s of fun to watch and since it is linked right here on your trusty RedBlackBrown blog you don’t need to go to Baltimore and you can watch it twice to make sure you don’t miss anything. Just another public service we provide.
please, please let that be spring in the air
with the beginning of march and local weather forecasters projecting temps in the 40s, we minnesotans are beginning to believe that spring could actually happen. and with the impending launch of target’s liberty of london collection, i think i am a believer. because, really, don’t these fantastic prints just ooze relaxed spring style?
i know the blogosphere has been buzzing with images of target’s liberty home collection (see this post from decor8 if you managed to miss them) but not too much has been seen of the clothing collection, which i cannot wait to get my hands on. because i do love an adorable print dress… i sense a big bill at target on march 14. (sigh.)
i found the images above (and more) in this post from demi couture.
If you love elegantly restrained interface design AND believe that to describe Minnesota as “fly-over country” is to seriously overlook the first rate creative work forged in the heartland then do I have a site for you! Mnimal.com is an impressive and growing gallery of websites that attain that elusive minimalistic clarity. Thanks to curator Joshua Serbus and coordinator Andrew Hafferman for including BrainstormOverload in the collection of such impressive company.
