Mexico City features a visually rich masonry grid for each of your projects and side projects. It also features a separate information page which displays your bio and contact information.  This template would be best used for those looking for a portfolio site that features project details with a large visual display of images and videos.  The template features light and dark mode, along with easy to use CSS variables for tweaking color and typography.  The content in this demo features the work of Mexico City based motion and visual designer [Ana Malai](https://read.cv/anainsomnia). Make sure to check out her incredibly vibrant work!

Tossed my Animated Posters all in one place, on Read.cv as a side project. https://read.cv/willtruran as well as in a youtube playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLILaA7_45ONErywNULumYNtAzMv4vo_hq

Hey y'all, Looking to pick up some new headphones. Anyone in love with theirs?

Day 1 of teaching at a new school and already had someone make sure I was a professor, so I wouldn't get a parking ticket.

Brand designers, I have finally finished my article about what to consider when creating color palettes for digital mediums. I hope y'all find this helpful, and I'm always down to answer any questions.

A week or 2 ago I started re rendering my after effect files in blender to get angles and effects I couldn't in AE. that got me messing with modeling hardware to hold my conceptual software UI

Bringing back Dungeons & Designers for a Lord of The Rings’ one shot! If you like DnD, if you like designers, or if you have no plans tonight… COME HANG OUT! https://twitch.tv/mof1podcast

Messing around with plotting the current data on //trashFiles https://trashfiles.net/

Thinking about submitting the //trashFikes site to awwwards. It has some cool 3D and audio content, sort of funky. What do y'all think, what would you add/change before submitting? http://trashfiles.net/

Made something stupid for my friends

Last nasa update for a bit. Yesterday I got to experience a launch in person and was closer than the media! It was amazing!

Posted a video recapping some of my NASA trip, but it's a minute long and I can't share here :(

Hit my limit in about 15min of mindless scrolling. Happy to be already using Posts more than Twitter these days, but now they are ensuring that!

Was asked to make a poster promoting a new class my coworker is teaching… obviously shoe horned 3D in because that’s my current obsession.

Tossed together a silly little 80s intro screen for //trashFiles. Do yall like it? Is the Load Database a clear enough CTA to skip and get past it? https://trashfiles.net/

Anyone else headed to creative south in April?

Started playing with touch designer and it feels good to be in a completely unknown territory again.

Made a fun little ASCII rotating logo video for //trashFiles
https://trashfiles.net/

Started printing, glueing, cutting the 100+ lanyards for the small conference I’m hosting in November!

Crappy video but started working a bit of 3D workflow into the sci-fi Nasa poster series.

Noodling with 3D + After Effects and no idea if I like any of this.

I need to figure out where this project is going, but for now just going to keep making random objects of the objects we are gathering.

I found this while looking through the archives. A UI pattern to zoom and pan with one hand. 🤚 From 2012.

Tossed the infographic I worked on last night into after effects.

Updated my setup with these modern screens today.

Been a minute since I’ve shared //trashFiles. The archive is slowly growing (35) and we are still looking for folks to submit trash from their region trashFiles.net (guidelines can be found in the about page)

Trying out Sites.CV! super cool.

I am putting a small conference together and am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for brands/designers that would be willing to donate products for prizes. We will be doing fun games between speakers and would love to up the anti with small prizes.

Got to hang at NASA today and will hopefully watching the Psyche launch later this week!

Being a professor means you can be more excited for others work and achievements. Full video here https://www.instagram.com/reel/C3h-GXgOs3I/?igsh=MW02NnZmcWFzemN1cQ==

Working on another Nasa inspired poster. Still very WIP

Fun little update to an old poster. There was a call for moon art… and I like space.

Been messing around with FUI designs for achievements in space exploration. Here’s the first WIP, for the Viking 1

For day 2 at NASA I got to see my first launch and the crawler! More images here https://www.instagram.com/p/CyW1f4Xgxn1/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Running some tests with an analog display that will eventually be joined by 2 projectors.

Being a graphic design professor means I get asked to design posters for various events. They are always a quick turn around, but also low consequence so you can just mess around. 

Starting this thread to share them as they come up

Put together some fun projects from the past year as I continue to learn 3D/Motion! Here is to a new year exploring new tech!

Made a new video, this time looking into the Art & Arcana book! https://youtu.be/uIi43j4PqvQ

Had a fun one today. While adding sorting direction icons to //trashFiles... there appears to be no consistent opinion on what up arrow means. Than did a bit of googling and evidently this is a larger problem for lots of folks.

Scheduled a new reel on IG for tomorrow, but wanted to share here first. Fun poster celebrating the DART mission. 3rd NASA inspired poster, first time using blender to make my posters more cinematic.

My students made a cool installation for Halloween where they projected onto printed posters

Tonight I added my FUI posters to my portfolio and added another piece of trash to the trashFiles.

Last year was a real decent year for film. Think this may be my top 10.

Been messing around with different styles… not sure it’s going anywhere, but this is we’re it ended.

I’ve got an on going thread that’s been going for about a month, covering my journey learning TouchDesigner. Here is a recap (missing its audio).

To make //trashFiles as accessible as possible we chose apps that you can get for free on both Android and Iphone. 

Big fan of how Polycam, RodeReporter, and Google Maps have been working.

Made a new reel celebrating the anniversary of Project Echo, if you want to hear the full audio head over to IG https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cv2VpdIAePv/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
