beautiful animation by Julia Pott
I would love to share Julia Pott's animations with everyone. I found her animation on Youtube a few years ago, and instantly fell in love with it. My First Crush is her graduation film at Kingston University in UK. Since then, she really developed her style. The second one is what she did at Royal College of Art in 2010. I think she has a natural talent for storytelling. Now she is based in Brooklyn. Definitely worth checking out her work.

poster for tomorrow
We are thrilled to disclose the brief for the new edition of poster for tomorrow:"Gender Equality Now!"
The condition of women has undergone undeniable improvements during the last century. But these improvements haven’t happened everywhere and even where they have been the strongest, well, they are far from being strong enough.
Gender inequality still lingers unchallenged: it’s one of those things that are hard to see precisely because they are right in front of our eyes.
That’s why we ask all of you to see beyond the status quo and imagine a different future.
As for the past, at closing of the call for entries, poster for tomorrow will entrust your artworks to a jury of renowned designers. The best 100 posters will be displayed in multiple locations worldwide opening 10 December, “A Day for Tomorrow”.
But there will soon be plenty of time to deal with the details and also with the novelties of this 2012 edition. Now is the time for the really important stuff. We need gender equality now, because more opportunities for women are more opportunities for us all.
Competition Calendar:
Call for entries open: 8 March 2012
Call for entries close: 10 July 2012
Online jury vote: 20 July - 10 September 2012
Live jury session, Paris: 5 October 2012
Worldwide exhibitions opening: 10 December 2012

grading for this semester
ya'all. i've truly enjoyed this semester with all of you. i'm looking forward to next semester when we can work more closely, now that i know more about you. i anticipate being able to work with you on "assignments" that come from your hearts and hands, ie some self initiated projects along with some structured, "you gotta know this" assignments.
fyi--i'm grading from the blogs. please post all assignments, swipe, sketches, revisions, etc. the more i see, the better i'm able to evaluate your progress this semester. if you didn't do well with one assignment, at least get partial credit for swipe selection, concept, color palette, sketches, by POSTING YOUR BLOG. keep it organized and clear so that i understand what goes with what. and, if you have not already done so, pls allow commenting (i still cannot comment on some of your blogs) and DISABLE word verification.
five completed, great assignments are due along with your progress on all nine assignments.
thank you. xoxo. g.
