<< Smoke kills >>


(click on the picture to watch the flash)

I wonder whether you guys have seen it before, but it's a extremely cool flash. Maybe you dont like the genre of The Xombie but this funny and outstanding flash will make you feel different! ^.^
This work was created by following russian studio: http://www.antimult.ru
This cool flash animation shows how dangerous smoking is. A guy is very angry since he doesn't smoke 4 days straight. And now he sees 2 window cleaners smoking, he gets mad and the rest you can see in this flash animation later.

There're a lot of intertextualities in this animation and I think they're all sharp and excellent connections throughout the flash. Due to them, you may not only laugh a lot, but also think a lot. I have found one: " One affect can lead to another affect" ^.^ The main soundtrack is "I saved the World today" which is a composition of Eurythms. Its lyric partly makes the flash more attractive and meaningful. One of its success is the awesome moral is assigned perfectly with the humorous content.
Watch it and See more :)

O.o Typography Exercise o.O

Hi guys, it was a very very busy weekend, rite? However, let's forget about some frightened assignments and enjoy ourselves viewing my new stuff ;))
These images may look bad at your computer, so please try to click on them and zoom in to view the precise quality and images ^.^


The first and second picture were based on an article about "
Slaying the Leviathan". That was an awful and cruel massacre, therefore I used Weltron Urban and Avalon Quest font to depict the wicked and dictatorial conquerors who commanded to kill the Leviathan. I think they're both somehow good at their task. Besides that, I used the black and red color to impress the hard time and harsh survival that the Laviathan experienced. The purple text was just a sudden inspiration since I always think that purple color stands for the sadness and fearfulness.



The 2nd verson:


The next exercise was to create a layout of a formular directing how to cook banana bread at home. Because it was involved in food and fruit, I wanted to make something sweeter and warmer. I took the color of the bread by Eyedropper Tool to colour the background and the word "Bread". I tried to color the text "Another Granma recipe!" with the color that seemed to be the color of bee's honey. That would make this smooth and soft like a stream of bee's honey. The word "Ingredients" and "Directions" were colorized with the Red one which is considered the color of the heating's fire at home. Besides that, I decided to use Script font for some texts to make things look like home-made. Hopefully, it would make people feel more interested in my stuff.



The last one is a picture of four logos designed completely by Illustrator. I was somehow pleased with this work. Don't know what I can tell you more about these logos (either don't know whether the word "logos" is correct). However, just enjoy them and feel free to comment. I do need yours.
