Oscar night is approaching fast. I make it a goal to see most movies nominated in the major categories. ”Man on Wire,” a contender for best documentary, chronicles Pillippe Petit’s mission to walk between the Twin Towers on a tightrope. The film recreates the pitfalls and successes Petit encounters during the seven years he spends [...]

At Nextpoint we have had many discussions lately about which software to use in order to maximize our graphic potential and best serve our clients. I came across this graphic in Slate and thought it was a great example of how to successfully communicate a complicated story by using the most savvy software available. Check [...]

Back in college a friend of mine from the Computer Graphics and Animation program forwarded me a link to the Ringling College of Art and Design Portfolio. I can still remember how mesmerized and awed I was at the quality of work coming out from other young people (not to mention it made me feel [...]

Information design is everywhere, crossing technology to design to art. Here’s Moma’s effort at capturing some of the issues involved with design in their Design & The Elastic Mind exhibition.

About a month ago I came across an interview with Brad Bird, about what a company can do to infuse innovation and creativity into their work. Bird was hired by Steve Jobs to basically shake things up at Pixar, when Pixar was at its peak, simply because Jobs didn’t want to lose the growing [...]
More great diagrams

John Grimwade’s portfolio is really cool, and I had the pleasure [...]

Presentation Zen posted a blog earlier this week on Hillary Clinton’s campaign sending an elect ability PowerPoint to House Democrats.
I’m including links to this blog as well as a link to Rick Altman’s blog who developed a before and after version. There’s a good message here about appropriate use and design.

In thinking about what to blog about as a first time blogger, I hit a wall. Then, I put my virtual car in reverse and hit another wall.
It’s a little overwhelming writing a note to open space (yes, I’m being a bit dramatic but it’s my blog). I’m more of an interactive person. I need [...]
