This Weeks Random Pieces of Flare: Totally Random Acts of Design

These logos are pretty weird. I wonder how they would be graded in this, or any design class. Even after a few design classes, i still can't figure the grading system, is it objective, or subjective. Either way, i hope the designers of these logos were paid well...i doubt it.

I just like the whole arrow going down the barrel of the gun, it goes well with the title "Weird War"


Killer Moles...AWWWWWWWW.

Anime Pick: Naruto The Movie: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow

My biggest complaint about anime is that most of it is extremely derivative as if it's all drawn from the same general template then modified slightly. The charcters have a cookie-cutter feel to them. Naruto lacks any originality at all. The look of the snow ninja's was pretty cool, but their boss was totally unoriginal. Overall the animation is fairly good but it's not going to win any awards.

"Show and Tell" An Unecessary Process

I have always thought that those "How to Draw" books were pointless. How many times can you draw a dog in this one pose. All you are really doing is memorizing someone's design. The process starts off good, with how the dog's head is broken down into basic shapes, but then the use of shapes is abandoned. Besides, the look on the dog's face is pretty lame.

So, if a tree grows out of the side of a bench in a room, does anyone hear it?



Looks surprisingly comfortable....well, sort of.

Anime Pick, Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture


Based on the video game, Fatal Fury is widely regarded as one of the best kung fu anime features. The good guys are Terry "Hungry Wolf" Bogard and his brother, Andy; Thai kickboxer Joe Higashi; and the female ninja Mai. The heroes are pitted against Laocorn, a descendant of the ancient clan of Gaudeamus, who is seeking to obtain "the armor of Vulcan."

More Random Pieces of Flare

Now, what's the point of a bookshelf, when you can't fit any books on it? Too, throw away your money.
Very interesting design from the Spanish studio enPieza, it is called Colgao. enPieza is a team of different disciplined professionals inside the design field who produce product, industrial, graphic, web or exhibitions work.

Hope it's not a dung beetle, eeeewwww!!!!!
