(Typography, intro) http://thenerditorium.com/blog/2012/01/11/jobs-suck-typography-intro/ http://thenerditorium.com/blog/2012/01/11/jobs-suck-typography-intro/#comments Wed, 11 Jan 2012 00:36:04 +0000 Jacob http://thenerditorium.com/blog/?p=86 Hey guys!

My name’s Jacob Raul Seil – I’ve uploaded a couple of the podcasts for you guys previously, but I’ve never officially introduced myself… So yeah, there it is! :P

Anyways, I’ve been working on a Typography (link below) of the Rev’s first post, “Jobs Suck,” and I wanted to share my progress with you guys. This is just the intro, but you’ll get the idea :] When I’m finished, I’ll upload the full clip, as well as a “making of” video to show you guys how my tutting inspired the animation. The software I’m using is Blender (a free 3d modeling/animation program) and Sony Vegas Pro 11.

Here’s the link to the Typography: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3Lfenmr9b0&feature=plcp&context=C38f6d4cUDOEgsToPDskLVhV-ChhCssPElCiKGEGZR

Hope you enjoy!

Inspired thinking.

Kleinberg on why employees are always allowed time off for the Burning Man Festival:

“Burning Man, SxSW and other events that inspire creativity, innovation and original thought… these occasions are rare opportunities to light the fire of creative energy that fuels this business.

That spark is what makes us special. It’s what enables us to generate ideas. To think outside the 468×60 pixel box. To have a culture where people can embrace their own individuality and contribute it to a collaborative mechanism for the manifestation of creativity. To have a company that is ten years old and less than ten people have ever chosen to leave.”

from “Why we have a Burning Man Policy” by Adam Kleinberg

Adam Kleinberg is after my heart.
