Monsters University Character Design

Summer is out and so are the advertisements for summer movies. One animated cartoon to note, Monsters University. From the poster advertisements or the movie (i wont tell) you will see the end product rendered in 3D. If you ever wondered how these characters come to life before 3D you must check out Chris Sasaki blog. This is a behind the scenes look of the characters before they get rendered and a interesting insight on the man who made some of it happen.

Enjoy and learn!

Some inspiration

We are always looking around from some new stuff. GrainEdit is a great site to pick up on ideas about inspiration and just some nice eye candy. Take a look at these covers. You might be seeing something like it in Mishpacha soon http://grainedit.com/2013/05/28/ariane-spanier/

Another Leak

Mishpacha magazine has done some extensive research on government leaks from Binyamin Rose in issue 464. The inside article is very dramatic and was put together proper by Simi Feld. I saw the whole layout and its worth getting the magazine just for this. I can say this because I saw the whole thing, more than that I can't tell you unless its for the right price. What I will do is show you the opening spread. If I show you any-more I might have to take flight to Hong Kong and go incognito.

Drop Shawdows are Back!?!

I started out designing magazine cover for Mishpacha over four years ago (wow!). Starting out I really never liked the drop shadow effect. It seemed cheap, a gimmick to make things stand out. However, somehow I have become addicted to these drop shadows lately. I think I have to stop. Do you think they add or take away? Would love to hear from you.

the ghetto chef

Have seen a lot of food magazines lately. Many of the ingredients are hard to get and expensive. Made this real quick. It has mushrooms, plums, and pears to name a few. The whole wheat toasted pita is coated with a basalmic honey combo. I can let u know more, but it was quick, cheap and yummy.

Obamacare for idiots?!? I think not

Is Obamacare bad? I must say that it doesn't seem so bad. My ebullient attitude towards this new program based on the great breakdown of the subject. This is due to the great planning of the design of the text and the layout. Very easy to read and comprehend. Thank you Mishpacha

How it was done:
The inspiration of the design was info-graphics. The idea started from the website http://visual.ly/. This is a good resource on how people handle subjects that can be broken down to shape and colors. Visit the page its worth it. It helped us to formulate a design to better understand Obamacare. If that's not greatness, what is...
