Idents reseach

I particularly like how he uses the beat and the records spinning and pulsing. This could also be a way I could link the Graphic designers names, bands and albums

Animation using more than vectors and text

This has good sound references

Animating maps

Not a particularly spectacular example but it goes some way to demonstrate the effect I would like to achieve.

This example is a better executed example

Album/Graphic design research

One hundred best album covers written by Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey Powell.  I have also been considering how to animate 'symbols' of record covers and as such have approaced the research slightly differently.  Looking through this book has given me the 'visual' before the artist. 


The following albums have great potential to be animated:


Reid Miles - Blue Note links to ANdy Warhol as got him to work on Kenny Burrell's 1969 Blue Lights LP.

A Blue Note release 








Julian Opie

Research - Vinyl/album art motion graphics

thesea re fairly crude and poor quality but i like some of the sequence changes. 

BBC4 idents/Title research

BBC4 would be the ideal station to run my Top Ten programme as the focus is factual documentaries about culture, music and art.
