Animation

I came across this animation today on Kanye West's Blog and really liked it.

“The Seed” is a short film made by Johnny Kelly about nature’s life cycle. He used a mixture of stop motion papercraft and 2D drawn animation. It was commissioned by Adobe to promote their Creative Suite 4.

You can see the making of the video here

Dreamweaver isn't dying- it's dead

Yesterday, I read a great write up over on PC Pro about how Adobe's Dreamweaver is dying off as an option for designers looking to make the switch from print to web design. I couldn't agree more! Like they point out, the web is no longer static meaning you can't run a site by building it one page at a time. You need dynamic content that builds itself, which Dreamweaver can't help you with.
