The Heads of State

My favorite design group, The Heads of State are known for their silk screen print posters designed for indie rock bands. They combine simple designs with bright colors to make a huge impact. Edgy and raw, The Heads of State are a dynamic group of designers.

Writing Web Content Rules

Reading online is quite different from reading in print. For one, a screen causes concentration problems. Text can be difficult to focus on and flashing banners, bright images, and more can distract from the actual blog content. Another very common problem is the fact that anyone can write and publish on the web, many of whom are not well-versed in common grammatical rules.

The Mechanic

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0472399/

This is the new Jason Statham movie coming out this Friday 1/28/11.  This movie looks action packed and seems to have a different take on assassination, which is interesting.  Jason Statham is a great actor that continues to impress me, so if the movie sucks at least we know Statham will be kicking ass or tearing up the streets in a high speed chase.

Scream 4

http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi495032857/

This is the fourth installment to the "Scream" movie franchise and I have to say I'm interested.  The previous three movies had solid stories, so I'm very interested to see what kind of twists and deaths director Wes Craven has in store for the world this time around.  One major plus that will make this movie successful is that they have the majority of the original remaining cast plus a few new faces to add to the obituaries.  4/15/11

Modern Ambiguity of The Fold

Today in class we learned about the fold in web sites. This articles discusses the importance of the fold in this age of variable technology and mobility. The examples are fantastic, coupled with visually descriptive photographs.

Words lie. Your face doesn't.

This promo is about a show called Lie To Me. It follows a Doctor and his team who can read people. It's their job to tell if someone is lying or not. It is a fantastic show on Fox.

Innovative Film

Breathless was a movie made in 1960 and was the first of its kind. Many directors and cinimatographers use this movie as a referance for their own films. It's revolutionary "jump-cut" editing techniques pushed the envelope and changed the way cinema is and will ever be.

Arcade Fire + Spike Jonze = Awesome

this is a clip for an upcoming movie based on the album "The Suburbs" by Arcade Fire directed by Spike Jonze. It's a great album and Jonze is a really interesting filmmaker. The clip is pretty neat and i can't wait to check out the whole thing.

Photoshoppers

This is a great site for anyone who uses photoshop. It is an awesome source to acquire free brushes, patterns and textures. They even include a page with prerecorded commands that will allow you to change your image in one step.

Double Picture Illusion

Most of us see a man and woman in this illusion. According to research, when children see this photo they notice 9 small dolphins instead of the intimate couple. Since they have no prior association with the act, they are not able to identify the couple.

This is a quick site to look at if you are wondering about lighting techniques for movie making. It is important to have a key light, and a back light on the subject that you are filming. If you are on a open stage in a warehouse you will need a lower grid to hang light from. If your location is on a built set, than you will need to hang the lights about 10 feet from the top of the set.

When Kinect first came out the company introducted a virtual 11 year old boy named Milo. Milo is able to learn, listen and respond to you as an 11 year old boy would. With the Kinect you can scan a book against the system, and Milo will read it back to you. I am not sure when Milo will be available for purchase, but I am looking forward to seeing all that he is capable of doing.

Andy Goldsworthy

This artist mainly uses materials from the environment to create his sculptures. He sees nature in its simplest form (leaves, twigs, petals, berries, rocks, sand, snow, ice....) and organizes them into something extravagant. I think it is a great way to remind us all of the beautiful things nature provides that we take for granted.

HouseholdHacker

These guys provide a variety of interesting videos including cool tricks, simple pranks, and awesome science experiments. Their older videos are mostly "how to-" videos on simple tricks you can do to improve everyday life. Most of the newer videos are in a series called "Scientific Tuesdays" which showcases easy science tricks done with household products.

Kevin Smith Is My Hero

this is a really cool article where kevin smith declares his distaste for the film making industry and announces that he will be distributing his new horror flick "Red State" on his own, which is pretty incredible. this is a really interesting article for anybody who wants to get into independent film making. this is potentially a really really big deal

Resevoir Dogs

This film is among one of the most shocking by Quintin Terrentino and is also quite intense. I like the level of shock value in the end, the plot and skill of the actors. This is to give you a taste of what to expect when viewing this film.

In Defense Of Jay Cutler

Anyone who wants to call Jay Cutler a wimp, a softy, a quitter or a jerk, did you know he was sacked 52 times this year, including 9 in one game vs the ny giants? That's 12 more than any other qb in the nfl. And he only missed one start due to a concussion that was the result of GETTING SACKED 9 TIMES IN ONE GAME!!! there were only 12 qbs in the whole nfl who played in all 16 games. jay took more punishment than all of them and only missed one! He tore his mcl in the nfc championship game vs green bay. he got hurt and we lost. yeah it sucks but deal with it. this guy took a hell of a beating all year with a grain of salt and never complained about it once! people need to chill out.

Sean Paulish

Burning Jay Cutler's Jersey

Really? Is this what we've come to? Are we really blaming Jay Cutler for this loss? Yes, he's a softy and Hanee probably should have started, but come on people...it's a team game. We can't blame one person. If anything, the coaches screwed this game up by calling bad plays late in the game.

Chris Johnson

Injuried Bear blues.

I am dissapointed about Cutler so much that i thought he was just being a little to simple about this game. Now that he is injuried, I think Caleb Hanee could have carried us to the Super Bowl. I am surprised that we just didn't give up though, but the way things went, really played with the fans emotions.

I believe Bulletstorm is going to tank

This game looks, in my opinion, just awful. The whole game seems to be centered around just "cool" ways to kill enemies and completely avoids the actual story of the game. The fact that they keep pushing "cool" weapons and "awesome" kill shots down your throat proves they have nothing else to offer you in the game.
