Posted here on the Fraser Valley Regional Library's facebook page. They are also running a photo contest during March (see the Contests tab)
Oh man, the Math/Socials/Media/Design teacher that I am have met their Venn Diagram intersection with these! (As always, click to see a bigger image) The 7 Deadly sins: Wrath, Greed, Sloth, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Pride. Mapped onto US maps using certain data sources. Red means higher than average, blue means lower. See all of them here. Labelled each state with the most popular TV show that takes place there (not necessarily filmed there, but where the characters are supposed to live). Interesting to see that all 50 states have had TV shows take place there. For more information go here. Macro pictures of snowflakes by Russian photographer Alexey Kljatov. More pics on his photostream here. I found the original article here. There's a link where he shares the setup he created for others who want to replicate it. Note: Some of them look like a hairy background? That's because they've fallen onto carpet.
Riddle: How do you get Japanese women to order the big burger? This was made with stop motion animation. Printed out 300 pictures to make it, and of course planning the story ahead of time.
There's a place in the middle of the desert on Google maps that looks like a plane symbol... Why? The story here has something to do with design... and... Virgin American airlines has just produced a new video for the inflight safety rules, to take the most boring part of the flight to one of the more fun ones. Fantasy Author Jim C. Hines writes this on his website: (which has more examples):
"In January of 2012, I decided that I wanted to talk about science fiction and fantasy cover art, particularly the ways women were portrayed. At first, I thought about writing a long blog post, talking about how saturated we were with imagery that emphasized women as sexual objects at the expense of power, agency, realism, and so on.Then I decided there might be a more effective way to encourage discussion. With assistance and surprisingly little eye-rolling or laughter from my wife, I contorted myself into the poses of women on various SF/F covers. Things snowballed from there. I did several follow-up photoshoots, ran a cover-posing fundraiser, and was even honored with a Hugo award that year." Phil Hansen has created really creative pieces of art, such as a painting made only with karate chops. He finds a really interesting thing, that "embracing a limitation can actually drive creativity." When you're given an assignment where "you can do anything you want" it's almost paralyzing - some students can't get past the choosing a topic phase. This is intentionally why I don't have you "just take lots of pictures", (though that's a great way to get better at photography), but I've created sometimes arbitrary restrictions that you have to be creative within. I hope you've successfully flexed your creative muscles this year and continue to do so on your own! Below is his Ted Talk (which are amazing, partly because speakers have to work in a 20 min time limitation) |
