Sual Bass's title sequence (another one)

Yup, I've been watching some title sequences actually It's very interesting( or it's just me being lazy then again, it can mean I'm very busy, well, if you think having 3 final projects going on simultaneously is nothing at all, then you can say I'm just lazy :\). Well, this title sequence is made base on fire which is good contrast with the previous one which is made based on water (that is, if you think of time is some what liquid-like, like me).

Sual Bass's title sequence

A tiltle sequence made by Sual Bass. I think it's very interesting with all the images being "twisted" it actually makes you think about the flow of time and things alike( well that's what I think at least).

Lord of war's title sequence: the life of a bullet

Just saw the film recently and I find that this title sequence is really interesting. It successfully describe the mood of the film. I'm curios about how they film the sequence from the bullet's angle. Using a AK-47's (Avtomat Kalashnikova 1947, don't know why but I have to point it out) 7.62x39 mm bullet is a great choice because it's very popular in Africa (well, almost everywhere in the world).

Motivators: let the world motivate me!

Ok, I don't really know if this really related to the subject but I think this might be interesting. Motivators are, can be considered a kind of posters. All of them have the same characteristics: black background, big text for the title a smaller text underneath and a picture. Mostly you can find it as a dictionary with picture (it's not entirely right though). They are hilarious (see for yourself). Can't say particularly who made them, everyone can! It's so easy to make so I can't give you any source. Here are some example, sorry I but the funniest ones are usually involve with strong language so I only post those that is worksafe.
And since everyone can do it, you may find some that you can understand at all. This one is a good example:
Clueless? Can't blame ya! But if you are curious here's a hint: N.E.R.V and S.O.S. But then:

Letterpress documentary

A very interesting creativetechs' documentary video cilp on letterpress. They talk about the letter printing process and many other things. I have to say that it looks so beautiful! I love it! The way it the letters and other decorating elements are printed on paper make it so distinctive compared to the other printing technology. It's a pity that it is on the verge of extinction (well, at least that's what the guy in the video clip said, would be nice if he is wrong). Lastly, I think what the printer said near the end of the video is very interesting: "yes, make it attractive but make it be what the texts need to be".

AIDS poster... again!


Why? Because this time, it's my poster! Well, generally, the idea is that many people think that they are quite lucky so they won't get infected. Therefore, the message this poster conveys is that they are actually, well, not that lucky at all. You can see the picture of a trail of someone walking into a hole more likely of a trap (YES, FOR THE LAST TIME, IT"S A TRAPDOOR, IT"S NOT THAT HARD TO FIGURE OUT, I'm sorry, I was just a little frustrated with all the comments like:"what's that black thing there?"). I stressed the three word "you", "not" and "lucky" (did you notice? "you" and "lucky" was in black ^^).
