Getting most of the work back on the site and a little tidying up left to do. A few articles yet missing and some expanded case studies yet to come for the Interface Design work. I will also be posting some of the transcripts and videos from past conferences. A lot of new material and a lot of work.

Regular programming will be back shortly along with a lot of new content.

The reel is working and the image galleries will be back this week.

Finally the site is almost done, thanks to the help and great work of of Rodrigo Galindez.

So what is going to happen here…

The intention is that as well as being my online folio, it will also serve as a pool for reviews, tutorials and insight, into whatever interests me in visual design. I will be doing breakdowns of past work and will look at some of the tools and techniques I use. I have been asked on a few occasions how I do this stuff and hopefully I will be able to provide some insight into the thinking, processes and tools used.

I will also be making available resources on occasion that you might be able to use in your own work.

This is also going to serve as a jumping off point to the development of a couple of other projects and blogs. The first of these is Deadpixels. My intention is to create a curated archive and resource site tackling the subject of screen graphics in film and television. This will feature reviews of current use in tv and film as well as historical retrospectives. Interviews and profiles of the people who create and apply their talent to this unusual field and also broader writing about how the world of fantasy interfaces intersects with the real.

There will no doubt be glitches on the site and I will continue to upload the rest of the folio over the coming days. If there is anything specific you would like to see in more detail or talk about, just let me know.

Mark

Update 2057



From the description by Gruppe 5 Productions..
.

Docu-fiction “UPDATE 2057 – The World in 50 Years” pictures a slice of life from the future based on today’s cutting edge research. In three episodes it focuses on topics central to our lives: Episode 1 revolves around the human body; Episode 2 takes on the topic of cities, and Episode 3 tackles geopolitics. Internationally renowned scientists add a manner of credibility to the predictions made by “UPDATE – The World in 50 Years” while giving them day-to-day relevance and explaining the human consequences of progress.

Tasked by 422 Bristol to create the concepts and artwork for several visual displays in the Update 2057 production. Supplied high resolution layered artwork to 422 who used the artwork as a base for later additions and compositing.
