Painting With The iPad

September 20th, 2010 | Posted in: technology

Our world is being taken over by rectangular screens like phones, computer and tablets. Besides the obvious benefits of these, they also provide entirely new ways of making art. And thats just what the guys and galls at Dentsu London did. They took an iPad to create these amazing images.

They have developed photographic and animation techniques that draw moving 3-dimensional typography and objects with an iPad. In dark environments, the iPad plays movies that extrude 3-d light forms as they move through the exposure, turning it into a ’3-d light printer’. Multiple exposures with slightly different movies make up the stop-frame animation.

And the results are amazing. A job well done!

Sand Printer

Advertising is following you everywhere, and as long as it is smart like this Sand Printer, I really don’t mind. The idea is as simple as it is brilliant. Zana Design has developed this big wheel with text on the outsides. If you start walking insinde the wheel, like a hamster, the letters will be pressed in the sand leaving a text behind on the beach.

Simple, smart and after one wave everything is back as it was. Great idea!
