Moving type brings videos to life

Our video portfolio is rapidly expanding, and we are fielding new requests for kinetic typography-style animation work all the time. On this recent project, we worked with John Hoel of Vibrant Film to create a series of 3 video vignettes helping to explain the key priorities of the Northwest Conference.

Not that ‘fun.’

The other day, my wife changed the radio station to avoid hearing a certain overplayed “fun.” tune that she used to enjoy, only to find the same song playing, at the same time, on another local radio station. Not fun. Here’s an awesome info graphic from Frugal Dad that attempts to explain why choice among mass media has disappeared.

Owning your new brand

Bryan — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 17:45:28 +0000

Seeing something we created go up on the side of a building never gets old. Partly it’s just exciting to see, but mostly it’s encouraging because it means a client is owning their brand in a very permanent and public way.

Old stuff is so cool looking

Not that it looks all that safe, but it does make me want to shave with an old-timey straight razor.

Nerdery Web Challenge Results

The Nerdery challenge is now over and Malley Design has recovered from a 24 hour design marathon. The non-profit we were paired with was youthperformanceco.org. They are a local performance group that gives teens a chance to stay out of trouble and learn/hone their acting skills. They offer classes, full performance opportunities, and a lively community for teens. Like many non-profits they have been struggling to get any kind of exciting web presence due to lack of funds. We were tasked with giving the site a full makeover as well as getting it off of Joomla and onto WordPress all in 24 hours. We managed to also build some pretty impressive custom post types and data base integration. The new site will be live in a week or so but for now take a look at these before and after shots.

Before.

After.

Post-modern animated GIFS? Wah?

Fascinating little video on the birth of Animated GIFs, made by PBS to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of their creation.

YouTube videos as feature film posters

Bryan — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 21:40:24 +0000

Great little side project by a fellow designer. Full-length feature-style posters created for the most popular YouTube videos. And, each example links to the video on the Tube. Worth a few hours of wasted work time, at least …

Beavis

The result of a makeup artists creating what Beavis and Butthead would look like in real life. Thats all.

The return of a great show

Finally, the wait is almost over. Mad Men, one of the best shows of all time, returns to AMC on March 25. The network is teasing the show with this minimalist poster based on the show’s amazing opening credits. Click here to read a story that includes a review of past season campaigns. By the way, I disagree with the writer that this could have been better. Less is more.

Combined logos mashup

Here’s a clever post from Logo Design Love about combining famous logos with a) other logos, or b) household items. Love the Sonic the Hedgehog meets hair clippers.
