project 12:31






Source Data for Photography/12:31 from Croix Gagnon on Vimeo.

This animation represents the entire data set (1,871 slices) of the male cadaver from the Visible Human Project. The animation was played fullscreen on a computer, which was moved around by an assistant while being photographed in a dark environment. The resulting images are long-exposure "light paintings" of the entire cadaver. Variations in the movement of the computer during each exposure created differences in the shape of the body throughout the series.

I love, love, LOVE the style and texture of this animated short. The fabric, the rotoscoping, the newspapers. It's beautiful.

Some kid from dailybooth.com. Seems to be a portal for 12-16 year olds to upload photos of themselves being surly.

Portrait a day

I am trying out a new repeatable project. A portrait a day. The only rules are that you do one daily and that it take no longer then 20 mins. This is the first.

Of Mice and Men



A simple graphic cover design for John Steinbeck's classic novel. I wanted create a simple image that used textures to add meaning. I linked the dead mouse with a woman's hair in reference to the death of Curley's wife.

Typo bomb

After exploring which art forms share the attributes listed below I started looking at Street art for inspiration. This is a literal interpretation of "sticker bombing".
I like the idea of having the logo as a sticker, that can be given out with products and for promotion. Perhaps the idea of a bomb is too literal. If the sticker approach where to be taken, it would be most likely that the stickers would not be limited to one symbol. Established and emerging artists may be invited to contribute to sticker sheets that are included as part of the packaging of the products. Typo already produce a range of "stickable wall art" so this would be a natural progression.

Sticker Bombing
The dangers with appropriating a style like this is that it is in fashion now, but it is difficult to predict how long that will be the case. The aim is to create a logo that includes the elements that sticker bombing and punk share, (irreverence, danger and rebellion) while not completely poaching the aesthetic.

What is Typo?


In my explorations for an identity for TYPO I have been looking a lot at punk design. I fear however that if the TYPO logo is too heavily influenced by punk it will not stay relevant. So in order to stay true to the ideas of punk I looked at what it was that originally drew me to it.
