Hello
I have been away for a week or two due to a busy work schedule and I am now on vacation for the next week. So I will attempt to make some extra posts to make up for it. = ) I am currently still in Connecticut but after a trip to Providence tonight for a Gaslight Anthem show I will be heading up to New York for the Franklin Trek. I will try to post some pics.

Poster of the Week
by Matt W. Moore of MWM Graphics
Check out the MWM Graphics website at http://mwmgraphics.com/index.html . I love Matt's combination of a clean yet graffiti style look variation throughout his works. Also be sure to check out the shop page to see his calendars, posters, skateboards, and surfboards. My favorite is the wallpaper. I don't think I would put it in my bedroom but it would be an interesting addition to an office. The designs are based off of simple shapes and lines yet they bring a dynamic edge when positioned together.
FREE Graphic Design Software
I found this video interesting as I am aware of some of these programs and have them on my computer along with the Adobe CS3 Creative Design Suite. They are free and can sometimes be helpful in solving design problems on a more simplified level. It is perfect for those aspiring to learn or test out the graphic arts before investing in classes or expensive software.

Stop Motion Videos
Stop motion videos are easy to put together with good planning. The basic concept is to develop a sequence of photos in which make up different shots of a movie. As seen with the previous video of the pig photos, these must be taken at every movement or reposition of the object or in this case the pig. After all the photos have been taken they need to be put into a movie editing program and if needed the time set to create a smooth and quick transition turning the individual photos into a stop motion video.
For the video I am posting I used Adobe Photoshop to edit the images and Final Cut Pro to put them in order and time the video. I basically captured all of the photos, added the letters of the quote, re-timed parts of the video and exported it as a Quicktime file. The video as it stands still needs more editing done but it is a solid version. Let me know what you think.

Stop Motion
Next week I am hoping to do a segment on how to create short stop motion videos and maybe post one of my own.
