I think this is an interesting idea for our Repurpose Project, I wish I could have found it earlier. Multiple meanings and cycles (more than just recycling!). It makes my skin goosebump. It’s clever, and a bit creepy.

Go check it out. It’s worth a look and a read. -Isabel.

Ok. So after Monday’s class, I had a few inspirational ideas for the Repurpose Projects that some of you are doing. But I think all of these can be interesting things for everyone to look at. Enjoy!

Ann, you were talking about typography and words, and it made me think of this artist’s work I saw in a book called Vitamin D.  I found the artist’s name: Dominic McGill. Here’s one of his pieces.

His work is here.

Supisa, you were talking about blotches and splatters that sort of form into shapes. You are also interested in typography. This might not be precisely what you were thinking, but it’s a fun mix of elements, the splatter paint/blood and the word.

This was made by Lippa Pearce Design, in London. I don’t know if it helps, but it came to mind as you were talking about your project.

Lauren, the video I mentioned of the short stop-action animation is here. It’s called Western Spaghetti. PES is the company or group that makes them. There are a bunch of them here worth looking at. Some cater to product advertising and branding too.

Finally, I would like to mention, if anyone is interested, Veer is having daily and weekly contests, giving away subscriptions, money, etc. They’re also having one large contest at the end for a Mac laptop I believe. If interested, go check it out:  http://ideas.veer.com/skinny.
