Ieraksti komentāriņu, Lovīte

Kļūšu rupjšs. Bļin es it kā nojautu ka ir kāda saujiņa „īpaši” apdāvināu cilvēku kurus man nekad neizprast, bet es nedomāju ka šie cilvēki ir tik nospiedošs pārsvar sociālajos tīklos. Es vienkārši nespēju saprast vai patiesi liela daļa jauniešu ir tik debīli? Tas ir reāls jautājums, kuru esmu izsecinājis no saviem novērojumiem. Pirmkārt jau cilvēkiem, lai cik tas dīvani nebūtu ir slinkums lasīt un saprast pat angliski rakstītus virsrakstus – kas notiek? Intereses pēc dažus ierakstu tulkoju latviski un jūs neticēsiet, atsaucība bija daudz lielāka nekā šim pašam tekstam angliski. Otrs jautājums, nekad nesapratīšu pēc kādiem principiiem lielākā daļa jauniešu dalās informācijā ar saviem draugiem – respektīvi, kā Tu vari ieteikt saviem paziņām izlasīt vai apskatīt kaut ko, ja pats neesi to pat redzējis (šis secinājusm arī no personīgās pieredzes, kā var būt ieteikumi, ja tanī pat laikā raksta statistikā rēgojas apaļa nulle??? Man tas nav izprotams) Turpinam tālāk, ar nožēlu jāatzīst, ka pats nespēju izdomāt kaut ko tik trulu lai tas patiktu jauniešu masām, savukārt šie paši cilvēki kāpj uz vien un tā paša grābekļa atkal un atkal, ja viņiem pat ar karotīti iebaro „re tas jau ir bijis, šeit un šeit un nemaz ne tik sen” tāpat jēgas nekādas.

Es vienkārši nesaprotu, mēs te varam brēkt par politiku, nodokļiem globālām lietām u.t.t bet tajā pat laikā jauniešiem ir svarīgāk, lai viņiem būtu vairāk komentāru albūmā, pie tam ja Tu uzraksti ko sakarīgu vai pamatotu kritiku (atvainojos, bet uzskatu ka vismaz 90% no bildēm kuras ikdienā skatos dažādos sociālajos tīklos ir totāls mēsls) kļūsti par nācijas ienaidnieku, tiek pieņemti komentāri, ne vairāk kā 3 vārdu garumā (laikam vairāk šie ļautiņi nespēj uztvert vienā teikumā) un vēl tie debīlie smaidiņi.

Ja pirms kāda laika vēl mani draugi pasmējās, kad kādā sarunā paspruka termins, vispārēja debilizācija, tad tagad paskatoties uz visu tā no malas tas vairs nemaz nešķiet uzjautrinoši. Mani šokē tas, ka ir cilvēki kuri līdz filmas par japānas katastrofu nemaz nenojauta kas tur ir noticis, bet vēl vairāk mani biedē ka ir milzīgs daudzums jauniešu kuri noteikti vēl tagad neko tādu nezin.

Vēl nesen kaut kur pa ausu galam lasīju par labākajiem daudzsološajiem hiphopa maksliniekiem, ārprāts. Ja tie ir mākslinieki tad es esmu nēģeris, intereses pēc mēģināju noklausīties pa dziesmai no katra „māklsinieka” – nesanāca, neizturēju pat pa pantiņam. Nožēlojami

Žēl, šķiet ka nāksies mest akmeni izglītības sistēmas lauciņā, es pabeidzu kādu skolu (kura diemžēl nu jau ir slēgta – strukturālo reformu dēļ) un šī skola deva ļoti daudz, varētu teikt paplašināja skolēnu redzes loku  plašāk par komenrāriem draugiem albūmos, bet kas notiek tagad?

Labi šim vakaram pietiks, paturpināšu kādu citu dienu, kad man šie murdulaki ar saviem dīvainajiem lūgumiem un ieteikumiem atkal būs līdz kaklam, tāpat zinu ka nevien no viņiem nav spējīgs tik garu tekstu izlasīt un saprast – bet ja tomēr kāds atrodas „ieraksti komentāriņu” :D :D

Lai Jums jauks vakars

Ļoti noderīgi - Adobe Photoshop Keyboard Shortcuts (full pdf)

Tikai pirms pāris dienām pieķēru sevi pie domas, ka lai arī dienu dienā strādāju ar photoshop un visu laiku izmantoju - Keyboard Shortcuts, daudzi nesaprot ko es daru un kā es to panāku.  Tad nu sapratu ka Jums varētu ļoti noderēt aprakst ar PS īsceļiem. Atzīšos ka pats arī visus nezinu un tādēļ ļoti sapriecājos par šo failu, tiesa šis gan ir CS2 paredzēts pdf fails, bet lielos vilcienos jau nekas diži nemainās un tiem kas zin un jūt atšķirību šis fails pavisam noteikti nav vajadzīgs.

Tātad http://creativetechs.com/tips/tip_resources/PSCS2_Shortcuts_Windows.pdf  šeit ir atrodamas ļoti noderīgas lietas visiem tiem kuriem ir (vai arī nav) kāda sajēga kas ir PS un tiem kuri šo programmu izmanto biežāk kā reizi mēnesī

Ļoti ceru ka Jums noderēs

Šis video man uzreiz iekrita "sirdī" pēc Lv internet vidē izskanējušo ar kādu uzņēmumu, T-Mobile arīdzan neuzvedas diez ko oriģināli. Labi šī nav reklāma, bet vairāk kā apsveikums karaliskajam pārim ar reklāmas piegaršu. nepilni 7 milj skatījumi, žēl tikai ka nemaz ne tik sen (2009. gada jūlijā) ir tapis šis video īstās kāzās un savāci s jau 64,5 milj skatījumus.

secinājumi: šķiet ka ļoti daudziem ir tā pagrūti ar oriģinalitāti un pat īsti neveicās ar plaģiātismu

London Elektricity - Elektricity Will Keep Me Warm

[vimeo http://vimeo.com/21194561]

The founding father of the Hospital imprint and mouthpiece of the multi-award winning, chart topping Hospital podcast, London Elektricity is a name that should need no introduction. Since starting the label in 1996, Tony Colman has carved out a fearsome reputation as one of the pre-eminent names in D&B and remains at the forefront of the scene to this day.

This incredible 12" release marks the first London Elektricity release for over two years and is the first single to be taken from his highly anticipated forthcoming album 'Yikes!' which is due out at the end of April. His last release 'All Hell Is Breaking Loose' stormed on to the Radio One playlist, proving his underground and overground credentials once again. A lot has changed since 2008's 'Syncopated City: 'this is my first release for 3 years, and features the vocals of Elsa Esmeralda who graced 'Just One Second' from my last album Syncopated City. Elsa features on 7 tracks on my new album 'Yikes', and I can safely say this is easily my best work to date. Yikes has been 2 years in the making, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it!

Bassnectar - IDJ Mixtape (free download)



44 minutes and 25 seconds of 10th-generation genre-re-wiring, exploring bass music through an open-minded lens, regardless of tempo, or even beat-structure… this sound clash aims straight for your body, with the intent to melt you down into a fidgeting, wobbling mess of enthusiasm and delight. In addition to some of my favorite old records and samples, this mix features several brand new bassnectar tracks, heaps of exclusive edits, re-edits, and re-re-re-edits. Lot’s of re. Lot’s of mix. Lot’s of edits. We tore our favorite drum & bass to shreds, injected hip hop with some pogo-stick bass, amped up the tempo of dubstep, freaked out the gypsies, gave a nod to the dreamy 80’s and ended up similar to where we started off: omni-tempo maximalism strikes again.

Enjoy the ride.

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kV0YvFhYzrE&feature=player_embedded]

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJaMUi8QNKY&feature=player_embedded]

Ken Block and Alex Gelsomino were on their third run over the Vale de Judeau (5.03 km) shakedown stage when the Ford Fiesta RS WRC clipped a rock and rolled several times over a bank.

A Monster World Rally Team spokesperson said: “Ken and Alex are 100 per cent fine. They went to hospital but it was a precaution because it’s better to be safe than sorry. Unfortunately when the car came back to service the scrutineer declared that it was too badly damaged and was a no-go.

“Ken is obviously disappointed and bummed out that he’s been unable to start the rally. It was his first big crash in a World Rally Car and Ken is obviously relieved that he and Alex are both okay. They’re heading back home now to prepare for their next stop on their world tour, Argentina WRC.”

50 reasons not to date a graphic designer



This is by no means a warning to AttentionWhore, or maybe this is – but after 8 months it may be too late, so…
(in bold my most representatives)

1. They are very weird people.
2. There are billions of them in the world, like colors on the screen of your computer.
3. They will analyse conversations in layers.
4. You will spend the day assembling furniture from IKEA.
5. They drink and eat all kinds of weird shit just because they like the packaging.
6. They hate each other.
7. You’ll come out the last out of the movies because you have to see the full list of credits.
8. They cant change a light bulb or without making a sketch.
9. They fuck up all the tables with their cutters.
10. They rather study the paisley pattern on your outfit than listen to what you have to say.
11. They will fill your house with magazines and whatever is out there that has drawings.
12. You never know if it is really an original or a copy.
13. They make collages with your photos.
14. They do not know how to add and subtract, they just understand letters.
15. They idolize people who nobody knows and speak of them as if they were his colleagues.
16. They take pictures almost daily and all are cut in weird shapes.
17. They ask your opinion about everything but  they do whatever they want.
18. Everything is left justified, right or center unless they arrive late.
19. They hate Comic Sans with the same passion they love Helvetica.
20. They use iPhone for everything, because everyone has one.
21. You can not decorate the house without consulting them.
22. They steal street signs.
23. Always carry their hands painted with something.
24. They buy dolls unfinished for them to paint.
25. Everything becomes something other than what it really is: cards as tickets, cards as …
26. When arguing, you will be nicknamed like the OSX spinning wheel (not affectionately)
27. Do not know how to dress without consulting the Pantone book.
28. They hate Excel.
29. They read comics.
30. They want to save the world only with a poster.
31. You will spend the day brainstorming.
32. On vacation they will take you to countries that you do not know exist and have no beach.
33. Museums are their second home.
34. They know more positions than the Kamasutra.
35. They can’t go to a restaurant without secretly critiquing the menu design.
36. They listen to music you have never heard of.
37. They can´t cook a normal dish, they always have to experiment with new ingredients.
38. They read rare books: stories of children, Semiotics …
39. When you are going to tell you something, everyone has read it in their facebook and twitter.
40. They have own iPods before you knew they existed.
41. The orgasm they remember is when they heard that Adobe was acquiring Macromedia.
42. They have their own shops just for them and there are the most expensive in the city.
43. They want to spend all the money in the Apple Store.
44. You will never understand their gifts.
45. They see ordinary objects and laugh.
46. You wake up in the middle of the night hearim them screaming “When is the deadline?”
47. They see CMYK and RGB like Neo sees the Matrix.
48. They dream of the day nobody will make a single change to their designs.
49. They rather pay for a font than for a special birthday gift.
50. They are always sleepy because they work 24/7.

If You Have a Passion for Design Check Out this Cool Bleeding Photo Photoshop Tutorial



Let me share to you a simple trick in Photoshop where we create a badass antique looking portrait painted in blood. Speaking of blood, this tutorial does not involve any gore actually. Well, except for the name we call it. The final output seems similar to the loading screen we find in Dragon Age Origins PC game. This Photoshop effect is also known as the bleeding watercolor effect. So, here you go folks.

Two knights solemnly strap on their armour in preparation for a joust in this spot for Washington's Lottery. As the contest begins, it's revealed they're in a muddy field on Segways with a group of friends watching

The campaign, straplined Play Together, Win Together, aims to position the Lottery as a social experience and encourages friends to play it together to make their dreams come true.

Incredibly Creative Anti-Smoking Advertisements

[slideshow]

Some say Anti-Smoking campaigns have gone way too far, we will let you be the judge. Today we have collected some incredibly creative examples of anti-smoking advertisements. Personally I have never smoked in my life. For this reason I can’t judge others nor feel the toughness of quiting. These ads make me scared to even try! I hope these ads will inspire you or your loved ones to quit smoking. This world could truly be a better place if we all quit this bad habit.

Horribly Funny Mistakes by Famous Brands!



Superman Costume

On an American Airlines packet of nuts – INSTRUCTIONS – OPEN PACKET, EAT NUTS.
Really??? I would have never guessed it!!! :-p


Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC)
The KFC slogan ‘finger-lickin’ good’ on a Chinese campaign became “eat your fingers off”.
My condolence to the people of China!!


Fritos
On a packet of Fritos crisps – YOU COULD BE A WINNER! NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. DETAILS INSIDE.
Ok, let me get my X-Ray Vision glasses and see inside!


Marks and Spencer
Label on a Marks & Spencer’s Bread Pudding – PRODUCT WILL BE HOT AFTER HEATING.
I don’t believe it…Let me try!


Pepsi
Pepsi’s marketing campaign slogan in Taiwan translated “Come Alive with the Pepsi Generation” to “Pepsi will bring your ancestors back from the dead.”
Thank God I drink Coke! :-p


Sainsbury
On a packet of their peanuts – WARNING – CONTAINS NUTS.
What only NUTS?? I want the PEAS too!!


Sears
On a Sears hairdryer – DO NOT USE WHILE SLEEPING.
Lucky I didn’t doze off while drying my hair this morning!


Rowenta Iron
Do not iron clothes on body – on packaging for a Rowenta iron.
I thought it was easier that way!

Tesco
Written on bottom of Tesco’s Tiramisu dessert box – DO NOT TURN UPSIDE DOWN.
Too late…you lose:-D

Coors
Coors the American brewer’s slogan “Turn It Loose” came out in Spanish as “Get Diarrhea”.
In that case, I think I’ll pass!!

Superman Costume
Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly – on a child’s Superman costume.
Way to crush a childhood fantasy guys!

Japanese Food Processor
Not to be used for the other use – on a Japanese food processor.
Hmmm… now I’m curious.

With seven short films hitting the web this
week (4/5/11), these two have managed to
stay true to their visual roots, focusing on
films that are all about great storytelling.


What makes this campaign stand out is
that each of the seven short films is
completely unique, even while the
overarching aesthetic keeps the
trademark look and tone of ZCDC.
Whether working with purely visual
storytelling, an actor driven piece or
straight narrative, this campaign is
thoroughly engaging. Having shot
and edited the pieces themselves,
ZCDC are part of the new generation
of directors that do it all.

Goab TV Concept

[vimeo http://vimeo.com/21386019]

For a long time, watching television was a straightforward event. The couch in the living room was facing the TV and a certain number of channels played certain shows at a designated time. When someone said, “I’m going to watch TV,” it was clear what that meant.

Today, it’s not that simple. Watching TV can mean a lot of things: TV via Internet, web content via TV, video on demand, IPTV, cable, satellite, DVB-T, mobile television, etc. Let’s not forget that with broadband internet connections and the integration of Wi-Fi chips into television sets, the technical framework has changed fundamentally.

With GOAB we take the latest trends, bring the loose ends together, develop established ideas further and develop new concepts to provide a possible answer to the question:
How do we want to watch television in the future?

Kenton Slash Demon - Daemon

[vimeo http://vimeo.com/20953938]

On their quest for creating classic computer effects without the computer, Dark Matters continues the analogue feel from the "Matter" video. The new Kenton Slash Demon video, Deamon is the take on analogue wireframes in the same naive universe. An abstract space opera about loadscreens based on Strings and nails.

New Business Card Designs From March 2011

[slideshow]

So often I see business cards where the design process has been either completely over looked or the cards are printed with no creative thought whatsoever. Business card design should not be dull or boring, it should be a reflection of your brand, not all designs can work in the real world, but I hope you can take a look at some of these and apply some of the creative principles to your next card.

A music video I made for the haunting song "Vanessa" by Grimes. Edited to footage from a great French film from the 1960's called "Alphaville." It seemed to fit the mood of the song pretty well. Track is from the upcoming split EP "Darkbloom" out April 12th via Arbutus Records/Hippos in Tanks

Typography in the Art or Art in the Typography?

[slideshow]

Typography was initially developed to better serve the purpose of improving the visual perception of a printed text and thus delivering textual content to the readers more effectively. The art component has always been present in typography, especially at the dawn of its development. Take a look at any ancient book and you’ll see how artfully every glyph was drawn and how richly the text was decorated. Later with the development of mass printing, font designers concentrated more on the practical characteristics of a text rather than on its artistic values. However, today, with the rapid and active development of digital typography and its popularization among visual designers, typeface creators are again ready to fascinate and impress us with the font designs, which clearly belong to art.
