The ending needs changing and the sound doesn't run the full length but we're almost there.

Some space front and back would be nice. Otherwise, I like it.

Hello, Beautiful Motion Graphics.

Tomorrow Partners (mostly branding, some of it award winning if memory serves me right) has a stunning bit of motion graphics as an introduction to their site. Find them here.






I've had a crush on their SF Law Library logo since I saw it in last years (maybe 07, I forget) print annual.

Final Logo Motion & Poster

In case you were wondering...

I like simple. Here it is.



The name "Built to Spill" is in itself a verbal pun, here the name is played upon in this 2 part poster.


Both the bomb shaped bird cage and the dove are allegories, meaning they represent larger ideas or principles.


The Tod Lippy poster is in some ways a synecdoche in that the title page is a representation of the idea of publication (in this case Lippy's art based magazine). One page represents the larger book.


The scale of the eye (or the boat I guess) is exaggerated to convey the idea of a sea of tears.


And this one's just nice. Enjoy.

Oh, all posters are by The Small Stakes except for the Tod Lippy lecture which was designed by Amanda Spielman at SVA
