Speaking from experience - An RSA video




I was looking for ideas about what drives us out of our comfort zone and also what motivates us.  This guy promotes the theory that once tasks become more complex and creative, money is no longer a motivator.  He presents a convincing argument that Purpose, mastery and self direction all motivate us.


I particularly like how the artist blows up the purpose I may be able to us this idea in my animation.  Maybe blowing up fear of failure and letting it go.














This talk is about Ideas and how the Internet has created a 'space' for idea generation.  I particularly like the way the whole animation is actually an illustration of a light bulb.






This also made me think about the positives of experimenting - Ideas generation, innovative




What is Graphic Design?


The RSA -  'For over 250 years the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA) has been a cradle of enlightenment thinking and a force for social progress.  Our approach is multi-disciplinary, politically independent and combines cutting edge research and policy development with practical action. '


The RSA holds events and has speakers who debate and discuss many important political, cultural and social problems and topics.  The RSA are using stop motion to further promote their important messages to a wider audience.  The simple imagery makes the speakers (often academics or politcians) more accessible and entertaining to a wider audience.  Theses animations can be found on the RSA website but have also due to their popularity gone viral on site such as YouTube
