via manvsmachine.co.uk

Overview of the new More 4 branding from ManvsMachine. The new identity feels playful, fresh and friendly - probably due to the slightly rounded triangles, bright primary colours and the child like nature of the flipping little panels.

The range of colours goes someway to highlight the diversity of the programmes shown, and there is a nostalgic nod back to the old channel 4 logo (and their roots of producing cutting edge tv) with the use of colours and simple animation.

Really nice and simple idea of showing off the adventurous side of Sweden, home of the safe car. Fantastic photography, large and clear type with a little vertical parallax scrolling that we've started to see around the web.

There's a nice little right up here too http://designchapel.com/blog/2011/09/26/volvo-cross-country-travels/

"This type of shot is commonly referred to as a "God's Eye View" angle. The camera lens is perpendicular to the subject without any POV reference, which gives the viewer an omniscient viewpoint of the character and the surrounding space. "

Have seen this on a few design blogs recently, works nice as a condensed display font and unlike 3D fonts of yesteryear actually feels that if you turned the page the shadow and depth would move with you. Don't think it's commerically available but is rather nice to look at - there are a few more examples on the Studio 8 site if you're interested.

Great piece of stop motion animation - thought it was 3D at first. Feels much more impressive when you see the time and effort gone into produce something like this, adds to it's charm and overall you feel the attention to detail and potentially the message they are trying to communicate is a little more sincere...

On my annual pilgrimage to Edinburgh, and taking a break from physical dancing comedians I saw this amazing exhibition by David Mach. Using the King James bible as his inspiration Mach takes some of the well known stories from our childhood RE classes, and using a combination of books, magazines, and photographs, creates these amazing collages.

The cutout images seem to fit effortlessly within the scene, though when you see the workshop and the enormity of work that has gone into producing each piece, you realise that it must have been a painstaking process - though well worth it.

A few of the collages are displayed in huge round frames, reminiscent of Damien Hirst's butterfly and fly collections, with the layers producing both an incredible landscape and visual story.

Animated short for 'Umbro Blackout' - not really sure of the connection, but love the animation - wonder if it is simply a negative of black on white illustrations/animations?
