Best/worst ideas at 2,500 fps. All sorts of wonderful.
Oh dammit P&G, multinationals aren’t supposed to make people cry.
Vacation - Alphabeat
Oops, was supposed to post this about a week back, but it slipped my mind. A delightfully (but totally expected) retro video from one of my favourite bands for their new single.
visualisation of silent letters in language
How much of a language is silent? What does it look like when you take the silence out? Can we use code as a tool to answer these questions?
silenc is a tangible visualization of an interpretation of silent letters within Danish, English and French.
One of the hardest parts about language learning is pronunciation; the less phonetic the alphabet, the harder it is to correctly say the words. A common peculiarity amongst many Western languages is the silent letter. A silent letter is a letter that appears in a particular word, but does not correspond to any sound in the word’s pronunciation.
A selection of works by Hans Christian Andersen is used as a common denominator for these “translations”. All silent letters are set in red text. When viewed with a red light filter, these letters disappear, leaving only the pronounced text.
AUDIO SPECTRUM
This is a pretty weird and cool visualization of this audio spectrum. “Lee Martin, a developer at Soundcloud, built a generative incarnation with canvas and the SoundCloud API, located at spectrogram.”
Not quite sure what this is doing exactly, but it’s cool anyhow.
The Future Belongs to the Curious
All sorts of wonderful. Take two minutes of your time to watch this.

Why graphic designers hate the holidays. Or anything that involves other people, actually.
In other news, Merry Christmas!
Fantastic work by Moving Brands for HP.
Mmm, branding guidelines, in full motion. Great stuff, perfect combination of bullshit and marketing.
Phantom Cocktails by Ty Migota.
5000 to 8900 fps, things breaking, shots dropping and some pyrotechnics show with a Phantom, and overlaid with an annoying as hell soundtrack, but hey, everything is sexy in slow motion.
Also, I think I need a drink.
