News: Fubiz Redesign

Franz Jeitz — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 15:28:29 +0000

Fubiz.net was one of the first blogs I subscribed to when I got into the designer blogging world. It is run by Romain and offers the latest inspirational designs and videos. The content is available in French and English. And did I see they are an infinite source of inspiration? Usually I would not write about a site redesign, unless it is this site of course, but this time I make an exception. First of all the new look is gorgeous. Secondly the way the new design is presented is incredible. Instead of showing simple screenshots of the new vs. old site they made a video. This is an original and creative concept that I had to share it with you. So here goes:

11 Great TV Series Intros

Franz Jeitz — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 15:55:49 +0000

In this post I will present my 11 favourite tv series opening sequences. Usually I am really annoyed when the intro lasts longer than 10 seconds, but with these series it is a pleasure to watch them. Some are very artistic, some I like partly because of the theme song. I hope you enjoy watching the intros.

Breaking Bad Intro

Californication Intro

Chuck Intro

Dexter Intro

The Flight of the Conchords Intro

Note:

The opening credits are in alphabetical order. I decided to only post screenshots and link to the youtube video in order to reduce loading time. Furthermore some feed readers don’t display videos at all.

Great Video: Supergrass – Bad Blood

I just discovered this great music video by Supergrass for a song called Bad Blood. I didn’t even know the song although I got a couple of their albums. It’s hard to explain why this video is so awesome. Have a look and find out for yourself.

Unusual Music Videos

Franz Jeitz — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 14:52:55 +0000

I was wasting some time on youtube today and stumbled upon some old and new music videos that are quite unusual. The music isn’t always my cup of tea, but the videos itself are amazing. You probably know some of them, well they’re so good that you can watch them over and over again.

Shitdisco – OK

The White Stripes – The Hardest Button To Button

Kraak & Smaak – Squeeze Me

Justice – DVNO

OK Go – Here It Goes Again

The Bird And The Bee – Again and Again (fan video)

This list is far from exhaustive. There are so many great music videos out there that it’s quite impossible to track them all.

Great Pop-up Book

Apparently this isn’t news. Well I don’t care. I’ve discovered it just now and I think it is brilliant. ABC3D is an alphabet pop-up book. Just watch for yourself.

Kinetic Typography: Movies

Kinetic Typography is the method by which you visualize a speech, conversation or lyrics only by means of animated text. I’ve put together a list of 11 typographic videos about cult movies. Not only are these animations very interesting but also they offer a great source of inspiration for static typographic design. If that’s not enough you could always try to determine what fonts were used.

Pulp Fiction 1

Fight Club

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Pulp Fiction 2

The Usual Suspects

School of Rock

Psycho

Little Miss Sunshine

The Matrix

The Big Lebowski

Death Cab for Cutie: Music meets Design

Franz Jeitz — Tue, 13 May 2008 12:16:19 +0000

It’s been 3 years since the majestic album “Plans” and Death Cab for Cutie have finally released their new album called “Narrow Stairs”. The first single comes with a beautiful 8 minute long video. “I will possess your Heart” has the kind of melody you can lose yourself in. Have a look/listen for yourself. DCfC really manage to make a bond between design music and design. Their website has a lovely retro feeling and the new album cover is pure genius. Not to forget their concert posters (including works of Jason Munn). I’m off buying Narrow Stairs.
