Everyone is talking about the ‘digital landscape’ these days and how and where advertising fits in. There are very few if any in the industry that could claim to be experts in the constantly shifting matrix that is digital culture but Razorfish might be able to stake a claim. If you are looking to learn about what is going on in the shadowy realm a good place to start is their Outlook Report.
Sound engineering or ‘sweetening’ as we sometimes call it in the industry can be an art that is sometimes (pun intended) lost in the mix. When you find someone good at it that you trust, you hang onto them for dear life. Good audio engineering can make or break your spot and few people do it better than Marcelo Baldin AKA Combustion. The understanding of his talent should be immediate from the moment you land on the homepage and see the amazing works that he has help top off.
Stephen Brayda is an illustrator with a strong typographic sensibility who is starting to amass a nice body of work. It feels familiar but in a good way and definitely points toward a growing talent.
“Brixton has degenerated into a disregarded area inhabited by London’s new robot workforce – robots built and designed to carry out all of the tasks which humans are no longer inclined to do. The mechanical population of Brixton has rocketed, resulting in unplanned, cheap and quick additions to the skyline.
The film follows the trials and tribulations of young robots surviving at the sharp end of inner city life, living the predictable existence of a populous hemmed in by poverty, disillusionment and mass unemployment. When the Police invade the one space which the robots can call their own, the fierce and strained relationship between the two sides explodes into an outbreak of violence echoing that of 1981.”
