Hastings Moths Project.

Went to see these yesterday - they are just off the Seafront at the bottom of the Bourne - an example of 'clean' grafitti.

S Neil Fujita

The legendary and innovative American Designer as died at the age of 89. Plenty of obits out there already - the one in the New York Times is fairly comprehensive.

'Life After Armaggedon'

C5 - 9pm tonight ( Thursday ) - would possibly support the book project for FDA2

One-off docudrama presenting a vision of a world left devastated by a deadly flu pandemic. The film imagines the plight of one ordinary suburban family, who are forced to fight for survival in the post-apocalyptic landscape.

It has had no real advertising - it's from America and 2 hours long, from the same team as 'Life After People '- there have been several attempts to film something like this recently ( Heatwave, End days etc ) - but there could be something you could use for research. 

It's also available on youtube here, it's from The History Chanel and looks quite interesting.

Handmade font / Book Cover

This is really lovely - it's the rejected work for a Zadie Smith book cover - it exactly fits the brief you have for the FDA2 publishing module and corresponds to the Hybrid Type font you had last year.

The post includes the full font.

Guerrilla Filmmking Workshop

The MEC are running an excellent workshop on Saturday 4th December for anyone interested in the skills needed for film or animation - I have all the details, places are limited - so drop me a line directly if you are interested.

Word Clouds.

From the Office of National Statistics - a word cloud graphic to demonstrate popular trends in baby names for 2010. Font Size indicates popularity.
