HunterGatherer’s creative process

Ninja October 5th, 2009

HunterGatherer is an award-winning design, illustration, animation and production studio founded by Todd St. John. Here’s a look into their creative process.

It’s more an enjoyment of the craft and of the process and being able to work with tactile things instead of computer models, although those are fun sometimes too… I spend very little time knowing sort of what’s going on with the latest camera or software or things like that and probably more time and trying to come up with custom ways of doing stuff. If you can have a process that’s different, you’re going to have a result that’s different.

The Story of God

Ninja June 10th, 2009

the-story-of-god

From time to time, I like to add to Penguin’s ever-growing library (his room has so many neat stacks of books that it looks like a stalagmite labyrinth sprouting from his carpet). Usually my selections are art-related like Richard Avedon’s Portraits or Banksy’s Wall and Piece.

After some random browsing, I found The Story of God: A Narrative Theology by Michael Lodahl. Interesting title and a subject I think Penguin would really like. What’s more, it has GORGEOUS cover designed by Arthur Cherry, featuring the typefaces, Restraint by Marian Bantjes and Perpetua.
