^Vapour by Nick Taylor

Nick Taylor is the Head of 3D at MancsMachine London. He was a creative coder who now is fully committed to motion design. However, he still integrates generative design, algorithms, and proceduralism in his work. He codes with Vex, Python, Hava, GLSL, and C++.

Vapour is an extremely dynamic and colorful video. It is a code-based exploration of turbulent particle systems and vivid color transitions. This project was created for Intel and produced by Future Deluxe. Nick Taylor used generative artwork and mixed it with in-camera techniques and optical tricks. The result is a beautiful motion graphic that looks organic yet digital.

Joshua Davis is a digital artist, web designer, toy designer, and also motion graphic artist. He works at his own studio, Joshua Davis Studios Inc. (freelance?). This project is actually for Life Wtr and Super Bowl 51, featuring music from DJ Khaled and Bruno Mars. He uses processing, HYPE framework, GLSL, Minim/FFT+SVG to generate this colorful graphic video. The video is filled with colorful animations that hold the essence of the brand LIFEWTR.

INSPIRATION: While both of these motion graphic artists have very different styles, they both seem to play with motion design for advertising. As an aspiring graphic designer who is also interested in video/motion, I find their projects intruiging and much more interesting than a 2D poster. Therefore, for my project, I want to create an interactive poster/logo.
