Hand Drawn Animated Gifs by Dain Fagerholm

April 24th, 2012 by Tomas | No Comments | Filed in Design

Do you remember Jamie Beck and Kevin Burg who creatively used animated GIFs to create so-called cinemagraphs?

Seattle-based illustrator Dain Fagerholm also adopted animated GIF technology to make his hand drawn monsters come to life. However, this time GIFs were used to create a cool 3-D effect. It was achieved by rapidly changing a couple of images with slightly shifted perspectives.

Of course, stereographic images existed for hundreds of years and it isn’t something completely new. However, it’s unusual to see this technique used for hand drawn illustrations.

Technique is one thing, but what really catches my attention is the cuteness of Dain’s illustrations. It seems that childhood book illustrations have suddenly come to life.

Cinemagraphs by Jamie Beck and Kevin Burg

July 25th, 2011 by Bored Panda | No Comments | Filed in Design

Have you ever seen a photo move? Two creative artists – a photographer Jamie Beck and a motion graphics designer artist Kevin Burg have created a new way of capturing images – pictures with movement, or so-called cinemagraphs.

Actually, this is  just a fancy name for an animated GIF, but specially designed with an purposeful artistic goal. Kevin and Jamie describe it as: “Something more than a photo, but less than a video”.

However, creating a cinemagraph is not as simple as it may look. Some of them took entire day to make, but the results are breathtaking!

  • About us

    It was in the back corner of McDonalds with a couple of hours to wait for a train home to Norwich, that theDot first came together. Freshly inspired by a weekend at the 4designers conference in London and having traipsed around museums and exhibitions all day, three minds came together over chicken burgers and chips.

    The three are currently studying Graphic Communication at Norwich University College of the Arts, where they delve into advertising, corporate branding, design for publishing, photography, illustration and so on. All confident in their skills, but continuing on their learning journey.

    We are a new design group hoping to achieve great things
