istanbul biennale : hank willis thomas | DESIGNBOOM.COM

"American artist hank willis thomas' 'I am a man, from the series I am, amen' relates to protestor posters during the civil rights era, specifically for demonstration in memphis, tennessee in 1968 and is on show at the istanbul art biennale 2011.
Growing up, the artist looked to the photographs of ernest withers which depicted dozens of african american men standing together in protest, each holding a sign saying, 'I am a man'. thomas' two-dimensional work consists of twenty panels which offer variations of this phrase.  The artist found it interesting that it was necessary for large groups of people to come together and affirm their humanity in the USA, 
just eight years before the artist was born. 1968 was the last hurrah of the civil rights movement, and the artist feels he is a product of the 
integrationist strategies that followed." - taken from DESIGNBOOM.COM

They actually seems to blend very well and doesn't hurt the eye. Thirdly, I did a background for each of the Fabriques and decided to present them a couple of weeks in between, to really show the difference (when I say to presnet them I mean to post them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, which is another work I do for this company.) and so the clients will know the difference between the products (which all of them...

After-effects animation for Riza Ceramika tiles on social media - by Dielli Demjaha

                              Taken from:  Youtube.com Greetings from Kosovo, from the capital of the Country which is Prishtina. Working mainly with Adobe suite for such a long time, I had the time to share this amazing work done for Riza Ceramika (on instagram @rizaceramika) for both platforms Facebook and Instagram. I spend the time designing this wonderful Video Animation and Static Social media Photo post for the client. The client was very happy when he saw the results, eventhough its short but as we know , in the social media platforms videos are replayed automatically, and the best timing for a video post, especially for story is mainly 15 seconds standard, so don't try to surpass that timing when you make any videos with After effects for Story (instagram; Facebook) or Fleets (Twitter). One other important thing is the canvas or the borders of the image or even video which should be 1...
