advertisement prices

I found some prices for advertisements to be placed in a magazine HOWEVER, we must take into account that we would be a new up-coming magazine and so companies may be less inclined to place their adds in our magazine compared to other more highly-purchased magazines.

Although it's in dollars it gives us a rough idea of pricing:

shapes & perspective

I've been looking the effect of using a 2-dimensional shape to create the illusion of a 3-dimensional image. "Perspective" in the graphic arts, such as drawing, is an approximate representation, on a flat surface, of an image as it is seen by the eye. The two most characteristic features of perspective are that objects are drawn:
/Smaller as their distance from the observer increases
/Foreshortened: the size of an object's dimensions along the line of sight are relatively shorter than dimensions across the line of sight

yes

YES collaborated with Peter Saville on the art direction and design for the retrospective exhibition of Yohji Yamamoto's work.

I love the visual set up that YES has done for this collaboration. I like the simplicity of the design as it allows the Yohji's work to speak for itself as well as creating a particular 'look' for the label.  

nasa

beautiful imagery of the sun. really clear crisp detailing...

grid

a good range of transitions, simple shapes and smooth transitions between keyframes...

photographic

Neither of these videos were created using aftereffects, however, the context aswell as the concept of time and movement within them seems appropriate and i really enjoyed watching them!

the good life

This music video is a good example of kinetic typography with sound. Kanye is actually interacting with the type itself. There's a rage of different visuals within this video, such as type running through his glasses. The colour also sits nicely on the black & white video making it more appealing and emphasizing the type/lyrics.
