Hi there,
tha lazy designer is back in the game, hopefully. So far i haven’t been sticking to the schedule very good. Doing well for a few weeks and the first chunk of work blow me out of the race. This was something i expected prior to getting into this but that it would happen so fast! So i will try to get back into it.

Hi there,
as you might have noticed i stopped posting daily last week due to some workload i had to finish.
Right now i’m catching up on last weeks stuff with some logo designs i had to do. Some stuff needs to be sorted out but i think i can get back to this by monday night.

Hi there,
is it time already to start working on day 19? Time is flying. I read a wonderfull tweet this morning with some inspirational design in it. Thanks a lot for this, Eva. So many nice examples of typo-art pieces. So. I decided to try to animate something similar. All about the eyes.
Put up a small teaser image for you to look at as animating this might take some time. I’m not taking the most elegant approach to this but it’s a save way doing it. Made some tests earlier that where flickering and dancing all over the screen but i found a way to do it anyway. Problem solving can be so satisfying

Busy day today with some cutomer work i did for the studio. Took me some time to edit this one but its up on vimeo now.

Hi there
The lazy designer get’s bitten by the brown fox and the lazy dog. Better run faster next time. I still need to finish day 17 for posting but i rendering the clip for today which is day 18.
Did some typo surfing today inspired by the smashingmagazine post from earlier and found some cool new additions to my ever growing type collection.
Todays font is one from that post or one site i found be surfing the links.
Exus Pilot by mauroh. I liked it for the huge faces inside the outline. This is one font i will definitly come back to later as i really like how it’s designed. There is an outline and a fill version inside. I’m not sure if this kind of a trend with display font these days but i see a lot of similar designed typefaces.

I got a rough idea what i want to do for sunday. It’s still winter over here and i want to do something visually silent for this post. Didn’t work out the way i wanted it to be. I need to rerender this with some nicer camera angles and need to rework the depth of field settings. Still need to learn to use this more often in projects.
I do have some customer work now but i will post day 17 and 18 later tonight. Now it’s time to work.
Update::
Actually did no18 first as the idea needed to be tested. I’m rerendering the no17 video now but as i seems now this will take all night. I picked one of the already finished frames and made the preview image for now. This looks like the longest #daily365 till today.
Update::
Video edited and uploaded to vimeo.com

After a long night on post #15 i decided to do something simpler today. Trying myself on the wonderfull CSTools again after having the files sit on my HDD for month. I used some before but missed the update and example files that are in the CSTools download.
I’m simply using a particle demo file with some text for today post. Some flicker lighting and the hand camera tool for some good fun. So far i really like what new possibilities i have by using these xpresso tools. A lot of fun animating with them. I still need to learn a lot more about the CSTools file package. If you like to learn a little too drop by the greyscalegorilla blog and whatch Nick explain some of them on video.
The font i used today is Chaos Math by Finlay Paterson which can be downloaded from dafont.com.
If you like it drop me a comment.
