Two collaborating designers who rock animation

Remeber how cool those United Commercials were? What about the Lemony Snicket's end credits? Here's a look at the man behind the curtain

I just found out this guy is only a year older than me, I'm gonna kill myself! His work is some of the best innovations in stop motion I have seen in years. Very funny.

Site specific animation. Very cool process and technique. The website is awesome too.

This site took awhile to find but well worth it. I heard about this animator after a friend sent me a link to the video for Moray McLaren. Check it our, its under "film..."

Painter. Mixed Media

Mix equal parts Bosch, Goya and Bacon. Insert a camera and corpses and you have Witkin

Photographer

Compositing pre-photoshop

Great collage artist. Some excellent ideas for digital projects

This is a fantastic database for surreal imagery that was photogrphed and composed in photoshop. There are some valuable tutorials here as well as documented step by step process

Some amazing composites as well as ultra slick professional work.

A great illustrator who designed some very elegant posters in the minimalist tradition. Im not sure this is the best site for his work, but it should get the ball rolling.

Great Blog with an extensive archive. I really like the Illustration archive, they have some great links to Polish posters.

This site is run/held by Fabien Barral, a designer who will have his own link under Typography. This database is amazing.

This is an amazing database. Feburary 2009 has some great Constructavist postes and the motion graphic link has some really interesting responses to the lame Ford Truck campaign

Great pipeline into what is trendy in print and web. Type "legacy of polish poster design" into the search to read a great comprehensive article on the comings and goings of my favorite design movement.

I love this site. Check out the evolution of a logo or some great photo manipulations by M. Archain. The spirit photography of William Hope reminds me of my work on Macabre, only better.

Great overview of design and design theory. GD 130 students should commit this link to memory. Point, line and plane will be reinforced day 1

This is a great website devoted to minimalism in both web and print

Heres a great resource to some of the best Eastern European poster design of the last 60 years.

This is one of te best examples/documentations of process I have evr seen. The film is cool also but the poster kills. The rendering and type treatment all work together. Check out the animatic and concept art.

Goddamn, the Polish can make a poster!!

Daily Type is a creative project run by several russian type designers.

Some great Web advice for anyone interested in design. A particular point of interest might be http://designshack.co.uk/articles/best-of-2008-typography

This guy is sick. Dave Mckean light

Join, and be part of the open source revolution!

This guy is the MAN. Learn from W. Sorbecki and be happy. If your a graphic designer and you havent read the Cheese Monkey's yet, your behind the curve.

This is a badass daabse of some free fonts

Load up your novelty typefaces here. Most are free

Setting up a base line rid in In Design has never been easier.

Some of the most colorful and textured fashion/glamour photogrphy i have seen.

Good blog on future of new media, tutorials and the definitive "write on" effect.

Great examples of motion graphics

I think the name says it all.

I just stumbled on this guys work, pretty impressive and a local boy. He has some pretty decent tutorials for after effects.

Awesome site for color scheme generations.

This site will help you get the ball rolling on how to create a unique collage.

great database of links ranging from beginer to advanced. I really like the advanced section under tutorials. Jennifer Farley has a cool explination on how to modify the art history brush.

Digital painting can be tough at first. This is a good demo aimed at coloring in line art.

Creating that Warhol/Lichtenstein half tone effect has never been easier.

More photoshop links than you can shake a stick at.

Some decent links here, check out the textures section under tutorials.

This is a great resource. A lot of examples plus some step by step training

Again, a great databse of examples and tutorails

This is another great database of tutorials and freebies. If masking hair is a problem, plug in....http://layersmagazine.com/masking-hair-in-photoshop-cs3.html

the name should say it all

I know, its tough. Use a backdrop when you can, but if you can't, here's an in the can solution. I recently found the link to Russell Browns stellar hair brushes at: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/the-russell-brown-show/a-bad-hair-day/

I have seen this technique in Scalped and wondered how R. M. Guéra did it. I think i figured it out.

Damn good site devoted to the history of film. Lots of articles and interesting top ten lists.

While I'm not a huge fan of anything Spike puts it's name on, there is a nice little collection of weird propaganda clips that beg to be mashed up.

Some excellent work by Jason E. Bennett. I really like his imaginary creatures.

Nicholas Gurewitch is a gifted illustrator with many styles. He also happens to be funny as hell.
