In 2002 Steven Spielberg asked Kuntzel and Deygas to create the opening title sequence for the movie “catch me if you can”. The design and the movement of typography were so unique and fresh, that this title sequence became one of the most mythical opening title sequences for the large screen.

In 2006 KLM came out with an advertising campaign in print as well as motion and this week expedia.nl released their new TV commercial. Both are inspired by this phenomenal title sequence.

As a motion designer you want to make a difference, like Kuntzel and Deygas. Copying someone else’s work will only give you a chance to become as good as the one you’re copying, that’s the best-case scenario. A copy will usually never be as good as the original because it always remains one step behind. Even worse, it will end up as a look alike or a cheap imitation. This is not really truth.!!!!!!!!

It’s not about copying a design, you must steal it. !!!
Let me explain.

Good artists copy, great artists steal “Pablo Picasso”

When you look at an inspirational design you should be inspired. You must take your time to examine its aesthetic and construction in detail. Find out how the creator did it and extract the essence of what makes this work great. To steal a design you must collect all the pieces of the puzzle and figure out how it all works as a whole.

Why did the artist use those colors, why these lines, why that typeface?

If you stealing a design you must be able to digest and absorb the essence of an inspirational design.
Stealing gives you the real gold. It gives you the knowledge how to create the work in question. Expand your arsenal of design techniques through learning instead of copying.

Once you’ve assimilated the principles and ideas employed by a designer of his great piece, you can use those ideas in your own work. You want, no you will not going to copy them again.

You will instead use these tools only where they make sense, and only where they will work well.
That’s because you understand exactly why they were employed in the first place.

Being inspired is a good thing, and being able to take advantage of those ideas, build on them further with your own twist and perspective will produce great results.
But there are still artists out there, who don’t know this math.

To copy others is necessary, but to copy oneself is pathetic “Pablo Picasso”

Today it is one year ago that Barack Obama was elected. Time to look back to his Campaign. Scott Thomas the Design Director for Obama’s 2008 campaign, led a now-historic political campaign, in which branding, design, and the web played a truly pivotal role. Likening the experience to “building an airplane in flight,” Scott talks about the creative’s need for triage, the crucial role of incremental design improvements, and the importance of getting back to the hand and keeping things simple.

About Scott
Scott Thomas is constantly seeking the simplest answer to complex problems. Scott began his design pursuits studying architecture before bouncing to graphic design and web development.

In 2006, he and five other creative types began a design collective, lovingly known as The Post Family. The group is devoted to supporting “family” member’s design habits-from silkscreen to letterpress, from illustration to blogging-in an effort to “get back to the hand.”

In 2007, Scott’s career took a dramatic leap when he was invited to join the New Media team at Obama for America. He is currently writing a book that explains how an obscure senator rose to the highest office in the land and celebrity status with the aid of branding and design.

Interaction and advertising are finding ways together the last years in are society.
But how do we implement a message and efficentie together in one design
there are ways to realise it.

Tack a look in Hong Kong.

But there is more.
Nokia is did something with the new N95 in 2007 around london.
It involves a huge touchscreen where people can play a memory game.

and take a look at Walking on Clouds
we can see that most of the designs are based on a two layer principle
1 the interaction part
2 the corporate message behind the interaction layer..
