033: LIKE POWER OF TEN OF 2009

2009-12-26T15:52:32Z

This is unbelievably beautiful movie, which looks like the "Power of Ten" was made by the office of Charles and Ray Eames for IBM. Great job.

032: iFREEMASON

2009-11-21T23:41:25Z

I'm still practicing with Adobe Illustrator "Gradient Mesh" tool.
I imagined like... "How the icon is gonna be like, if Freemason makes an application for OSX?"
Actually, this is totally meaningless. I just wanted to draw something by the tool.

This above is the wire frame for this icon. I don't know how to erase the needless part. lol

031: SKATEBOARDING VIDEOS ARE EVOLVING

2009-11-19T08:44:34Z

Description from Amazon; "Among modern cities, New York stands alone as the quintessential skating town- the place where the revolution in street skating got its startWith manic intensity, creativity, cultural ferment and its tangled urban landscape, NYCs mean streets in the 80s was ripe for the birth of a new type of modern skating; where stairs, banks, handrails, and benches could be ollied over, into, and down. In Deathbowl to Downtown, New York is a central character to the unfolding of what would be celebrated as one of the most creative and innovative periods in the history of the sport and saw the rise of some of the sports legends."

Description from Amazon; "Nothing But the Truth is the story of the Nike SB team, on and off their skateboards."

Description from Amazon; "1st & Hope is a unique view of skateboarding through the lens of the Malloy Brothers (Thicker Than Water, Out Cold) as they capture Kenny Anderson and Brian Lotti "roll" through the urban landscape of downtown Los Angeles. This visual stream of skateboarding imagery is enhanced by the dynamic sounds of Beck."

Very luckily, all of 3 skateboarding videos recently I got were totally awesome!
The skateboarding culture still gives me a lot of inspirations, although I've stopped skateboarding since long ago. So I'm continuing to get those videos often still.

Yeah, actually the skateboarding industry has changed a lot especially in this 20 years. Not only Tony Hawk but also many other skaters became millionaires. We can find tons of skaters everywhere on the street. Many people are thinking it's metamorphosed as like a part of a main culture already. It might mean that skateboarding is not special anymore.
I can't say it's a good thing or a bad thing, but in fact, at least the quality of the skill and the expressions for videos for example, are getting higher and higher.

These 3 videos are very major videos. Means not independent. But their spirit is still like street kids, in good meaning.
Challenging, boldness, pride, vandalism... Those words sound like very primitive and old fashion, but every time make me exciting without any thinkings.

Of course I know almost every "sports" are very similar, but skateboarding is a little bit different for me. I can't say what exactly that is, but I think you can feel kinda same thing. It's not only a sport but also a culture...

Anyway simply put it's COOL. That's all. ;]

030: HADALOVE TVCF

2009-11-18T09:10:30Z

This is my first TVCF (only the first one)! I've planed the concept of this.
Well, I don't know it's okay or not for the talent agency to upload it on Youtube though! I just found it yo~ ;P

029: HELMET AND BATS

2009-11-05T10:43:22Z

I just wanted to learn how to use Adobe Illustrator "Gradient Mesh" tool.
It's so fun. The images are going to be fresh and very useful because they're vector data. But I gotta study harder... :[
I don't know how to control to make the mesh more minutely at the first time.

028: HADALOVE.COM

2009-11-02T05:06:49Z

I'd not been updating this blog recently... Because of the project "Hadalove", for a skincare products series, and it has launched today at last!

This became a very important and unforgettable experience to me.
I had built the root concept of both TVCM and websites, and this (making a TVCM at the same time) was the first challenge for me, actually.
The concept I made was "Suri-Suri".
Suri-Suri means a sound of rubbing something, in Japan. And I guess this common expression is not only in Japan - if you have something really favorite, you would rub your cheek on it.
So, I wanted to tell "If you use this skincare products, it makes everyone want to rub your brand-new beautiful skin with their own cheek. blah blah blah..." through Suri-Suri.
And the products' main concept is "simple". So I didn't make the website decorative. A little bit too simple? Why not? hehe

BTW, when I was thinking about the famous standard Jazz song called "Cheek to Cheek", I got this idea suddenly. We often can find ideas, from some totally unrelated things. And I like this way better. I don't wanna get the inspirations from only internet, then express it only in internet again.

Anyway, please enjoy this website together with the sound. Don't forget to make it fullscreen first. And also enjoy the TVCM if you live in Japan.

027: ABOUT A YEAR OF MY LIFE

2009-08-18T11:01:55Z

I know it's not the end of a year yet, but when I was arranging my Flickr photos, those ones made me remind of many memories of this year.
I could go to travel many places around Kansai area during this time. I didn't know at all Awaji and Shikoku were very close here. I had wasted very long time to find it.
Well, I don't know how long I will be here in Osaka from now, but I'm gonna enjoy all the time of my staying, whatever. Give me some excellent informations about Kansai if you have, please.

025: HANSHIN KOSHIEN STADIUM

2009-07-14T07:45:47Z

On 11th July, I and my friends went to watch the baseball game at Hanshin Koshien Stadium. Of course I'm a Giants fan, cuz I was born in Tokyo.
And guess what, this is a common sense in Japan but the Tigers fans and the Giants fans are hating each other very much! :P
I couldn't relax at all at the middle of Tigers fans... Haha
Anyway, it was a very nice experience though! For me, it was the first visiting there, actually. But unfortunately, I couldn't see this stadium before the last year's reconstruction.
Well, I'm gonna be back here to watch "Kokoyakyu" again this summer!

023: BOONEOAKLEY.COM - HOME PAGE ON YOUTUBE

2009-06-10T03:42:29Z

When I was taking a look at THEFWA.com, I found such a great website with a very novel idea.

BooneOakley.com

This website has been made of only those functions of Youtube.
Right now, we think it's just a website made of Youtube, but you know, unbelievably tons of people is watching Youtube everyday, but no one could make this idea before them. It looks very easy and simple, but I can tell that the team which built this has a very flexibly point of view.
Of course, I guess that someone already conceived an quite similar idea, but there is a huge difference between just "planning" and "execution", in fact.
Also I really like this atmosphere of the art direction. I know this kinda "low fidelity style" is a very big movement recently in a design industries (especially internet) in '00s.
Anyways, I'm gonna do my best to have new ideas like this!

This is the top page of this website. You can navigate to everywhere from here.

Not only this technical idea, but they also have an absolutely great creativity.

Of course every contents were made by movie, so if you won't touch them, it's gonna be changed and finished automatically.

We can send the Youtube message to them.

They're having big clients!

WTF!?

022: WARP.NET HAS REDESIGNED BY UNIVERSAL EVERYTHING

2009-05-08T04:02:54Z

Warp.net has been redesigned by Universal Everything recently.
The founder Matt Pyke used to be a member of Designers Republic. Their DNA exists still around the UK design scene, although Designers Republic has closed its doors unfortunately.
Warp's websites were built by Kleber for long time, but I couldn't find their name on the credit anymore. It means Universal Everything and Kleber are building a really close relationship, I guessed.
The production company for this website was Remote Location which is a obviously cool creative boutique.
Anyway, I really love UK web design industry's Ajax fundamentalism style! Very cool, mate!! =)

This below is "Warp Playlist". They're not only great artists, but also awesome business people!! Haha
