"Everything in life comes to you as a teacher.
Pay attention. Learn Quickly."
- Cherokee Saying
I think we live in a world where people are lazy and don't like to read. This use this as an excuse to remain uneducated. I think, it's my job as a visual artist to educate people different causes.
I love the girl effect video, it's engaging, informative, and a definite call to action.
I love this style of animation/motion graphics. I am not interested in making shows or movies, but I would love to learn to design the introduction or beginning credits of movies.
I saw this on my Communication Arts magazine and I feel inlove with the concept.
I encourage you all to check out the site
I love to see people that successfully use design to help other people.
The idea is to help girls stay in school by buying them supplies.
The design is beautiful, and I think it's really clever to ask for specific items for specific girls instead of just asking for generic donations.
Here's some screen shots
But, seriously - please check it out. The girls that you see pictured have moving videos in the site - it's really quite beautiful and sweet.
The following posters were a campaign made by a family friend of ours Juan Miguel Marin
I find them very inspiring.
Others:
Mixed media, travel inspired, design that translates across cultures, organic,
not corporate.
Art with a political/social message

"ATTENTION HIPSTER DOOFUSES: Sorry about that, but it’s not easy getting the attention of people who reject mainstream consumerism like billionaires reject tax overhaul. Here’s the thing: Do you ever wake up in your designer platform bed in your urban loft, shuffle over to your espresso machine and wonder: Is this all there is? Day after day of wearing ironic vintage tee shirts and searching the Internet for nu rave techno rap bands from Uzbekistan? Don’t you wish you could let your androgynously cut hair down, wear some not-quite-so-painfully-skinny jeans and kick back and watch the (legal in all 50 states version of) grass grow? Not to get all marketingy, but at Urban Eatery you can take a break from looking vaguely disinterested in everything while wearing your favorite organic fedora. We use fresh ingredients from local farms and offer free valet parking—and free is nice if you have one of those hipster liberal arts degrees. So why not take some time out of your busy schedule of wrestling with existential angst and drop by Urban Eatery. After a hard week of conforming to nonconformity, you’ve earned it."

I can't help and see this little chubby guy whenever I see the new Pepsi logo either.
