REMIX: THE NEW ART

I found a shift in my perspective to what I feel about copyright and the ridiculous notions that, ‘remixing is breaching that copyright.’ People want to personalise original works to make a connection to all things and this through sharing and remixing. These documented videos are going to be of this nature and presenting to you my process in making remixing and sharing my work a reality.

Final Rebranding & Direction

Yes I am doing another rebrand very soon. Can't wait to finally get this blog off the ground properly.

I hope to give you the final details soon but I would like to present a video that will be the first of many posts that cover an issue close to me in my design career.

Using the power of interactivity and design to tap into the minds of the so called "target audience". Today businesses have to engage on a new level and that level is using the tools that we have today to listen to every single person that interacts with them everyday. Companies have no choice but to listen because now our opinion matters and dictates our brands not the other way round.

I will be covering this subject and the digital tools we have today that help brands build better relationships with their customers.

Here is just a taster of what is to come. Below are two videos that present the interactive campaign to find out in two words by the public on what issues face Australia's future. Two Words For Tomorrow was conceived by branded arts & entertainment company The One Centre

Although this campaign focuses on the data it finds and the way in which this can be reproduced into a design piece for all to see visually, the change in tactics of the design are what draws me to create this post.

What make this different from any other campaign is the way in which this brand has taken the role of the listener making the customers and curious onlookers the creators and their roles are just as important in making this campaign come alive. This is why I smile and feel happy that this design approach exists because this is the way of the future and I want to see more of this.

We are all creators now. Everyone who has a blog, facebook, twitter etc. is creating their own path and companies and their "brands" are going to have change their ways in order to still have a place in our directions in life.

Yes we consume but now in the world of the digital age everyone and anyone can access the world of the creator.

My logo remixed

I would give you an outline of the logo and you can draw or design over the top. And i would make a collate them all into a GIF animation. Let me know what you think. Would anyone who is following me or any of my followers who have creative followers or friends like redesigning my logo?

Apologies

Hi all followers.

I do apologise for the lack of posts being put up on my site. Unfortunately I haven't had enough time to do anything for my blog. However my excuses don't make up for anything and I hope you all can still stick it out with me.

In the next few weeks I will be designing a few pieces that will coinside with the remixing nature of this blog but also be a part of something bigger. So get ready for that and I hope you can join me on this experience.

I will let you know soon what is going down. I hope to get the bigger part of this project which can be seen as both a part and separate from this blog in about six months time. Hopefully, don't hold me to that. haha

Look out very soon to see the projects from myself and also projects that involve you all.

Favourite Designer

Hey guys and gals, At the moment my favourite designer would have to be James Victore. His idealogies in design has made him a very controversial designer and human being in general. What makes him my favourite designer is the fact he undertakes altering and reinterpreting orignal works to put forth a new way of thinking about issues in relation to the work. This approach is similar to the way in which the work that you will see makes us think about the issues of connection and the world of graphic design and where it should headed. What would be your favourite designer? And what makes them your favourite designer?

For those who aren't on tumblr click just write on the comment section below the post.

Or you can tweet your fav designer @doseofchaoscity

This is one of the examples that remixing and sharing is all about. Personalisation. This is somewhat what I am advocating. A very close example.

Hecq - Sura EP 2010

This is a pretty awesome mix. Full of awesome bass. I also love the section of the song at about 30secs to 1min 18secs, very calming but also a good lead up to the dubstep section of the song.

Loom by Polynoid

Directors: Jan Bitzer, Ilija Brunck, Csaba Letay

Wow. This motion graphics piece is exactly what you can do when you imagine a small thing that happens all the time that we often find insignificant incredibly interesting and intriguing. That is a spider attacks another insect.

What makes this effective is its approach to the music and the sounds created. This sets the mood and the emphasis on the motion created in this piece. The transition from dark to light and the contrasts play a big role in creating the wonderfully composed consuming effect of the spider's poison.

What We Learned by Legwork

Love the style of this motion graphics. Nice and flowing motion. The colours that compliment is what makes this stand out. The music syncs so nicely with the motion. Keeps you at ease. The imagery is another factor. We see these images almost not required to be perfect in both its colour correction as well as the masking of these images.

Overall a perfect blend of well placed imagery with just the right colours and motion to compliment each other.

Samsung Galaxy SII - Unleash Your Fingers advertisement

Nice integration of a pretty cool finger tutting dance with some pretty interesting motion graphics. Music compliments this whole scene very well. Nice clean colours, lighting makes this stand out even more. There is only a hint of colour in the motion graphics, this only makes for a well composed motion graphic integrated within its environment. All of this makes me want to watch again. What do you think?

Looks that Kill Trailer by Yuki 7

Directed by Kevin Dart

This has all been done in After Effects and is what makes this motion graphic so unique. It is what makes it so interesting.

The colours is what set this exactly to the style that it needs to be. Music compliments the motion graphic all the way to the end. A lot of work has gone into this and it has reached a goal in my eyes as a success.

It pulls you in and lets you feel and imagine yourself along for the ride.

David Ogilvy: We Sell or Else

You know the trouble with many agencies [designer, startups, entrepreneurs, studios] is that they don’t really think in terms of selling.  They’ve never written direct response.  They’ve never tasted blood.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I envy you. For forty years, I’ve been a voice crying in the wilderness. Today, my first love is coming to its own. You face a golden future.

Forty years ago the advertising and marketing visionary, David Ogilvy, talked about the new “secret weapon” of direct response with it’s specific and measurable results.  If he were alive today during the internet age, I’m certain his message would remain the same.

Don’t let creativity take over your ability to sell on the behalf of a client, account, product or business.
