Henar´s Blog

This is a beautiful stop-motion music video for Fleet Foxes, by Grandchildren (director & animator Sean Pecknold in collaboration with some friends).

Mykonos from Grandchildren on Vimeo.

Check his very interesting Pictoblog, showing drawings, ideas, photos, and other stuff from his sketchbook.

Flickr Flow is a very interesting experiment by two technologists, Fernanda Viegas and Martin Wattenberg. They invent new and very attractive ways for people to think and talk about data.

Can visualization help people think collectively?
Can visualization move beyond numbers into the realm of words and images?
Can visualization tell never-before-told stories?
Can it uncover truths about color, memory, and sensuality?

This experiment deals with colour and time, and the way relative proportions of different colors can be seen in photos taken in each month of the year.

The resulting diagram picks up the ebb and flow of seasonal colors. The close-ups below show winter, spring, summer, and fall.

More projects on their web site, and lots of interesting facts about colour and its study on their blog.

This bronce statue, which can be found in Kaunas (Lithuania), is probably not too special during daylight...
But at night, it recovers its true meaning, and this beautiful work of art is completed.

We appreciate good design, but sometimes content is king, and this blog is one of our favorites. We love how she highlight designers and artists she find interesting!
Although she spend a lot of time reporting on other people's work, she also sparks off interesting discussions. Like her Picasso story proved.
Her posts are mostly about design, but she also knows a thing or two, as her design portfolio proves!
Put your hands together for our Spanish graphic designer Henar!

I really didn't expect this when I logged in on saturday. It was very early, and I was exhausted after a really long sleepless night working on a presentation. I looked at the screen, trying to focus, and what do I discover? I´M MEMBER OF THE WEEK!!!!

Thanks to all the people at my.opera that wanted to make me MOTW! I hope a lot of members will visit my pages and hopefully find something interesting enough.

I want to thank everyone that wrote all those nice messages, you are all so kind! Thanks to this, I´m meeting a lot of great people. I especially loved the comment by Hovsep Avedissian, mentioning my Picasso post:
Hi To which Picasso responded, “Madame, it took me my entire life.”
And here you go as the member of the week congrats for all entire life.

THANKS SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH EVERYONE!!!!! I´ll try to keep up the good work!!!!
