Change of blog!
Typo Berlin is done and dusted, nothing to see here people.
Move it on over to my general blog for sporadic but hopefully delightful posts.

I would like my animation to also be received as an email invite or viewed on the web. In this case, I’d like to have a rollover image where the pinata is closed and then once “rolled over” the image changes to a broken open pinata. This rollover image could then be clicked on to take the viewer to the full animation.
I’ve done a quick gif to illustrate this.

A bit jittery, but an experiment with words re-appearing.

A little experiment on the theme of “Celebration” with some party popper streamers.

Looking at the aftermath and mess behind the scenes on a photo shoot, playing with the idea of a “before” and “after” shot.
Responses to the YCN pinata brief | Sarah Fotheringham | Thoughtful
YCN sent out 50 pinatas designed by Jiggery Pokery and challenged designers and agencies to open them in a creative way.
I’m very keen to involve a pinata in my final animation for the “celebrate” theme. I think it could link in well with my first stop motion experiment - the letters fall out of the broken pinata like confetti and then re-arrange themselves.
I also like the simple box shape adopted by Jiggery Pokery for their pinatas, it stops the visual from becoming confusing when there is already so much going on and doesn’t have the connotations of more traditional pinata shapes (donkey anyone?)
…like these!
Love the bright, contrasting colours all thrown together en masse. The intricate paper-cut design softens this brash explosion of colour whilst maintaining that festival feeling.

Typography in paper banners; reminiscent of “Happy Birthday” banners or bunting, but particularly similar to Mexican festive cut-paper banners.

I initially bookmarked this image just because I thought it was clever and simple - reflecting the word “fragile” by working in a way that creates fragility and looks delicate. Now that I have my own themes in mind, I’m thinking about what happened to all the punched out holes - confetti? Celebration theme?

Another way to display typography using my favourite sugary medium, I don’t think this is as successful as the Happy Birthday Helvetica piece I blogged earlier in the project, but its interesting all the same.
