Animography aims to make life a little easier by offering animated typefaces delivered in neatly organized After Effects files. The type foundry is the creation of Jeroen Krielaars, a graphic designer who runs the Amsterdam-based design studio Calango.
Animation and typography has always been a tricky combination. Hundreds of hours go into designing a family of type, a process that is, at times, highly exact. The moment you start toying with any typeface by scaling and adjusting the characters, you risk creating a warped graphic that doesn’t look quite right. For that reason, Animography should be on your radar. The typefaces offered on the site are scalable without any loss in quality.
What’s particularly promising about Animography is that it creates opportunities for graphic designers and animators to collaborate, experiment and build together. Currently, the site has teamed up with designer Derek Weathersbee, whose newly released typeface called Franchise is being animated one glyph (character) at a time by 110 different animators. In the challenge, each animator is given a single glyph to animate in a maximum of one second, 25 frames, and four colors. There have only been a handful of completed glyphs, but it promises to be a challenge worth keeping an eye on (check out animator Daniel Savage’s letter B submission—B is for Bouncy Beard—above).
Animography seems to have more plans in store, and is on its way to carving out a completely new niche. For more, check out Animography’s brand reel of animated typefaces from dead or fictional brands:
Even though I still had to go to their (not updated since 2008) website to figure exactly what the Juice Agency does, I liked this clever promo that uses playful iterations of their (I’m guessing new) logo.

Cool–this was shown at TypeCon last month along with a bunch of others. They were all done by design students. I wonder if any of the others have been posted online.
This is so great! If I lived in a ground-level house, I’d do something like this in my windows for sure. Mark Gervais uses Flash and After Effects to create these amazing Halloween animations that he projects onto his windows on Halloween. He’s selling DVDs, too, so you can spook up your own windows or party walls.

Awesome video, awesome group, awesome song. This is indeed a treat for all your motion graphics folks. Justice has another video for their song D.A.N.C.E. that incorporates the lyrics of the song on animated t-shirt designs….which I see you have linked to here as well.

This is the coolest video I’ve ever seen. I’m going to watch it 100 times.

That would’ve been a great video, if it hadn’t have been for two things, 1) the song absolutely blows and 2) it’s been beaten to death on the telly. They’ve shown it, and still show it, several times an hour on the music channels. Whereas I liked the video at first I’ve now come to hate it because of it.
This awesome new game brings your drawings to life. Draw a ball and watch it fall, draw an incline and watch the ball roll down. A demo version is available for download on the official site.
Looks like it’s based on this MIT software (watch the demo here) which everyone was blogging about last year.
It also looks like the game requires a tablet. Could be another fun way to use the Wacom Cintiq.
While I was in Hawaii working on my tan and buying coconut purses, previously-blogged Aaron Leighton was in Cannes accepting an International Interactive Emmy (a new branch of the awards to recognize interactive projects from around the world that utilize both television and the Internet) on behalf of the team behind the Zimmer Twins (Leighton is the Creative Director). And from this story on his blog, a local train strike almost prevented him from getting to the ceremonis on time. It was like Run, Lola, Run, but without any killing. And less running. But an award at the end!
Actually, due to a tie, Leighton shared this award with another Canadian company, Xenophile Media, for their project called Re-Genesis. You can watch both teams accept the award here. Congratulations to everyone!

Check out this beautiful video for musician Steven Delopoulos, lovingly crafted by Chris Koelle and Cory Godbey at Portland Studios. I haven’t seen a high quality version of this personally, but seeing how good this compressed YouTube version looks, I can imagine that it is a stunning sight to see.

Sure, their work is stellar, but for my money, Vitamin has really raised the bar for demo reels every where with the release of their latest sampling of work.
Illustrator Ian Kim is a recent grad of New York University. As a recent grad, his portfolio is small, but what there is is marvelous — great linework, colours, layout, and strong concepts. His work is consistent and, as one of my teachers used to say, top notch!
Very strong, lovely work. The site design, and the color use reminds me a lot of James Jean while the line work and, again, the color, also brings the guys from Tropical Toxic to mind.
Here’s hoping that HTML in posts works.

Lovely stuff. I can’t wait to see more work from him!

on his site he says “In technological terms, our generation can aptly be characterized by the rapid prolification of the portable wireless device.”
Using the actual audio he recorded during his meeting with John Lennon as a fourteen year old kid, filmmaker Josh Raskin recounts his experience in his short, but well designed film “I Met The Walrus”.
