Sometimes something comes along and reminds you how beautiful things can be. This short is basically a movie of buildings, beautiful places shot in beautiful ways, but one of the things that blows me away is that it reminds me of when you walk into a beautiful place and your mouth drops… a little smile comes and you are in heaven.

And then you find out that this beautifully made short is…. unbelievably all cg….
watch it and fall in love with design again…. fall in love with buildings…. loose your breathe.

I have recently found the work of Matthew Lyons ( http://matthew-lyons.blogspot.com/ ). His style is amazing and his use of colour and form blows me away…

I am really starting to get into design and am trying to suck up as much info and tutorials as I can to get better. I think design is really one of the big things that can hold a VFX artist back. I can use a lot of amazing programs but without the creative magic that designers can bring, I am only one piece of the puzzle. I need to work on this so over the next few weeks I will try to post new designs and stuff that I do to get peoples opinion and just to better myself.

If anyone has any suggestions of designers, tutorials or books please let me know… I am eating this stuff up at the moment and am hungry (^_^)
