I was bummed to see that the great animated gif site iamnotanartist has been down for the last week, so in trying to find other references for the students i found this sweet site.

Another video I showed in class today to talk about working with limitations. I love how this video shows you can take something you love and show it through minimal resources…in this case cut out magazines.

Talking about making animated gifs and showing complicated ideas with only 15 frames today made me think of this amazing video of Bob Stakke where he’s able to create amazing images with just basic shapes and using Photoshop 3.0!

Next up in class, animated GIFs! Check out some other work and process shots by Zim and Zou as shared by one of your classmates.

When I was putting together the moodboard assignment for our class I came across this new online tool for creating moodboards. I’d thought I’d share it on our Tumblr here in case the other 224 sections might want to check it out.

Tonight we’ll talk about MOODBOARDS!*

What is a moodboard? What should you include? What should it look like? How do you organize it? We’ll cover these and other questions in class as we work towards Project 1.

Above, see examples of a set of moodboards by PSU alum Natsuko Pursell. Natsuko compiled this collection of imagery as she planned a large-scale installation. Note how her collections of images and text immediately set a tone. This is what we want to achieve with our moodboards: a story, a mood, a tone, as told through image, color and style. Though your moodboards need not be this extensive, notice how she collected any and every piece of visual inspiration she could find!

Consider how to organize your moodboards. What are elements of our projects we need to consider? Some potential organizational categories are: color, illustration style, photography style, typography, texture, pattern, layout…

 *Sometimes “moodboard” auto-corrects to “moldboard.” Please note that I do not mean “moldboard.”
