CREATING TITLES FOR S2 OF NETFLIX'S BEEF

I recently watched the second season of Beef, and loved the titles at the beginning of each episode! 
The juxtaposition of Flemish paintings and contemporary type was so good! 

If you're into typography, design, film, and art, this article on It's Nice That is such a good read!

*Titles by Benjamin Tuttle. Creative direction by Lee Sung Jin.

P.S. Look up Beef on Google and see this animation come up on your screen. lol.

HOW CURLING STONES ARE MADE

 

I had never heard of curling until I moved to Canada over a decade ago but I actually don't mind watching it from time to time and I would even like to play it at some point. 

Little did I know it originated in Scotland in the early 1500's! And, the rocks that are used in the sport, all come from the same Scottish island, which are harvested under ecological supervision.

Fascinating!

P.S. Round of applause to the Reuters team who created this piece! The animations and illustrations make this truly a delight to read!

A SITE THAT LET'S YOU DISCOVER INDEPENDENT BLOGS

 

I love finding blogs made by people for people, though it's hard to find these as they often get lost in all the content noise that exists thanks to social media, AI, and corporate blogs that try to sell you something. 

I just came across this site that shows you a new blog by just clicking on a button. 

So cool!

YOU NEED TO BE BORED MORE OFTEN

Loved this video! Yes!

I very much enjoy going out for a run for this same reason: when you're "bored", you have time to think about things you don't make time for, and you get to think about questions and answers you wouldn't have had time to think about if you would have been "entertained" scrolling through your feed. 

I'm trying to get better at it.

NOW PLAYING: ALABASTER DEPLUME - IF YOU'RE SURE YOU WANT TO

Honestly, I knew nothing about them before writing this post. Their music came up and I had to look them up! It makes me feel like a character in a whimsy silent film. If that makes any sense. 😆

P.S. Music links by odesli, a site I discovered via Chris Glass.

WHY DO WE NEED TRINKETS | A GRAPHIC DESIGN DISCUSSION

 

What are trinkets and why we love them. Is it nostalgia? An act of escapism from the day to day life? A way to express our personalities and interests?
