"...There are, however, some designers and even clients who insist that the public deserve and will respond to much higher standards in graphics. They are convinced, as Charlie Chaplin was convinced, that the best way to entertain the public is to first entertain oneself."
Eye-popping video made by Kota+Totori for Radiohead’s song. They won the first prize in an aniBooM contest (along with 3 other videos — apparently Radiohead couldn’t make up their mind which one they like best).
This one reminded me a lot of FLCL’s wacky world, but the one thing that made me grin with admiration was the inclusion of storyboard frames into the final animation.
Some time ago I was enchanted by Junku Nishimura’s photography. This time I had the pleasure of finding a fellow romanian that walks a similar path (among others, of course). Enjoy Mr. Mihai Leu’s photography:
and one that best says “here like nowhere else”:
This one was recomended by Mihai, made by Peter Eavis, another must-see:
After last week’s proof that blogging has its rewards, here’s yet another proof: Mr. ValentÃn wrote me after watching “The Bear That Wasn’t” about another old time gem, Munro, a short animation made by Jules Feiffer, one of the great cartoonists and winner of the Pullitzer Prize. You can read more about Jules Feiffer on Mr. ValentÃn’s blog entry.
Wonderful works made by Yurko Gutsulyak, an ukrainean designer. His matches-calendar won a lot of awards, and one can easily see why. I also love the beautiful Cognac CD case, the nice stationery for the Golovan and Partners law firm and many more.

Typical Murphy, after working on at least four design projects concerning banking (finance, to be more precise) in one form or another, after spending days scavanging for related pictures on the internet, after asking friends to risk getting arrested photographing banks while on vacation abroad, it took one random search through Flickr to find the banking in photos group.
So, if you need examples of fascias, interiors, ATM’s, window treatments etc, that’s the place. Feel free to add your photos, obviously :)
and last but not least, a “supermarket” bank (they’ll probably have to downgrade to street kiosks due to the financial crisis, though :P)
