Dark Side of the Moon

This was last college project of the year, wich was, in a nutshell, a "how music translates into image" one. My choice was Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon'. Since the whole album is one big seamless song from first track to last, i decided to translate it as one gigantic panel containing all the songs.

The end result was 5 meters long and 40cm high. Quite epic!

A lot of it i wish i could have had more time to put more dedication into, especially when it comes to typography, but thats what you get when you put too much on your plate and time is short.

Here's some details (they are kind of illustrations in themselves):

 

 

 

 

And here's a photo of it in the studio:

"An organism is not a static system closed to the outside and always containing the identical components; it is an open system in a (quasi-) steady state . . . in which material continually enters from, and leaves into, the outside environment." - Ludwig von Bertalanffy 

Life drawing

Few sketches from two different sessions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Serendipity

This is the result of an academic 1-week long collaborative exercise themed "vices and virtues". We went for a sort of animated collage of our drawings. I'm rusty on after effects, so this was good practice. (music you may recognize from Amelie Soundtrack)

Life drawing

These were done a while ago, it's those sort of drawings that you kinda like but save it for later and end up forgetting about.

Psychedelic animations

I've been seeing some amazing animations/motion graphics of psychedelic beauty recently, thought i'd share a few (including a TED talk with the guy that animated the inside of a cell).
Sit down, relax and let the visuals caress your eyeballs
