Website Design..

Here I have collected a number of links to various different websites that have taken my eye. Reasons for choosing them are for their creativity, interactivity, illustration or typography and layout.

Animated Illustration..







I really like the character design in this one and the way in which it sticks to using just simple black line design.



I think this one has to be my favourite so far. I don't know why but I'm just drawn to black line drawings especially this fluid, almost scribble style. It just seems to work so well with this type of animation and is so fitting to the style of music. I would love to learn how do do this, even if it was just for fun.

Animated Typography..









I particularly like this one, about what is graphic design? I feel it communicates an explanation of what it is reasonably well, and also shows the creativity of animating type. If only i could grasp how to animate! Then I would like to be able to produce work similar to this..





This is some of the inspiration I have been looking at in terms of typography animation, all of which I have found on YouTube.

My 1st Animation!



For some reason I can't seem to get this to play the full way through..grrr..I will continue to try and work out why that is!
It's shockingly bad I know but never the less it was my first attempt in Adobe After Effects.
