Get Inspired | #3
Every Friday we like to spend some time working on ourselves and reflecting on the inspiration that helps us grow. We’ve compiled a list of our favorite links from the last month to help you get inspired. If any of these move you like they moved us, lets talk about collaborating on a similar project. Enjoy!
Nighttime Routines
Our team was inspired by these methods of winding down the day and getting into a clear headspace for the next day to be it’s most productive. We’ll be trying some of these activities to see what helps each of us get ready for a restful sleep.
The Göteborg Opera
We’re always looking for story driven branding to give us some creative inspiration. This Swedish opera house nailed it. They took a step back and looked at what they offered, and what could be created that was unique to them. They took their O, laid it in water, and let acts ensue. The movement in the water from noise and motion created unique marks that became part of their rebrand. Very creative!
Carved in Mayhem
This short movie is a unique depiction of Johnny Bang Reilly’s journey. Like anyone searching for inner peace, his story is one of acceptance, perseverance, and liberation. Our Creatives loved how this was shot, and pulled some great inspiration and ideas from it.
Baugasm
365 incredible and unique works of art. That in of itself is an inspiration. The artwork is linked in the photo caption and we suggest you take a gander. Such unique pieces and beautiful colors can be difficult to achieve especially day after day, but each of these pieces maintains it’s individuality and beauty.
Paintings Merged With Photography
17 artists took photographs and added painted portions to transform the work. We were inspired by the idea of changing what the eye sees and adding to already beautiful pieces.
52 Weeks of UX
Week 23, which you can read here, was interesting to our developer who talked with us about the Fundamental Attribution Error. The idea behind this is that you can’t assume you know who you’re targeting. Thinking that your audience can navigate something (a website for example) when in fact they can’t, only hurts you. This rings true for many things; it’s never smart to assume.
AirPano City Book
This beautiful travel experience had our whole team talking about which was their favorite and where they wanted to go. You know something’s inspirational when everyone jumps into the conversation and it takes 10 minutes to get through the art!
Ghost in the Shell
Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at some sequences and images that created Ghost in the Shell. Seeing how parts of the movie were created and how they actually unfolded in the story were very interesting. Getting to peek behind the curtain and see how things are crafted always opens the creative eye.
Why Your Life is Not a Journey
This beautiful narration caught the attention of our copy team. This short narrative is based on Alan Watts’ quotes about how looking at your life as a journey can be destructive. The poetry paired with the video was beautiful and definitely worth a watch.
