New dexter promo shots are SLICK

So the season 4 promo shots for DEXTER the TV series about the sociopathic serial killer with a heart of gold have come out. The concept is clever, but it is the clarity of the images that has really impressed me.

It is decked out with the same light colour background that previous shots have had except this time is Dexter’s new baby. CHECK OUT THE EYES, they did a nice job there. It a piercing blue, also note the shadows at the edges of the eyes....some handiwork going on there. The soaked fingers too, all very sharp. They must have lit this very carefully. The effect is a slightly menacing baby! Which is what I think they were going for....Obviously the contrast or...Juxtaposition *rolls eyes*... of a baby or new life and Dexter the bringer of death etc, pretty straight forward. It works

Some Experimentation

I did some experimentation with some basic distortion effects in illustrator. More to come of course!

They regrassed the grass wall

Plant walls are all the rage right now. I've seen a few around
melbourne. One at Melbourne central, one in docklands and this little
one at flinders st....the grass died though. But I guess they can just
keep replacing it :-p

2 red ring kiosks

I own an xbox 360, it red ringed. And these did too, one in myer in
the city and the other at Harvey norman somewhere. I thought it quite
funny that this is happening to even the display units...

They put advertising everywhere

This is quite clever actually, because you sort of have to look at
them. You are just standing there. If only the ads weren't for
telstra! Yuck

Welcome to pour the slick

This Blog will highlight exellent examples of slickness. Something that I do strive for. And various trends I spot here and there as well. Pouring the slick refers to when a designer pulls out all the stops and really polishes the work. it gives it that almost unatural perfection, which is fun to look at. You will see what I mean as I begin to post. With any luck I may keep it up!
