Now that the //trashFiles archive has enough items to scroll, I've added a search functionality and you can sort by clicking the yellowish type at the top. trashfiles.net

Experimenting with ways to combine the sound pollution we are gather through //trashFiles, with the physical trash. This item was submitted by @emmazzing

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

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.

@willtruran - too many things that i enjoy about this site && the work contained within to start listing out.

(the more i look, theMoreIseeTypeOfThing)

but, i wanted to mention is how much i appreciate the process videos. raddest thing i could have ended on.

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/

Trying to knock things off my seemingly never ending list before moving Wednesday. soooo new IG for //trashFiles. www.instagram.com/trashfiles.co/

Made something stupid for my friends

https://www.mof1.network/

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 :(

Experimenting with ways to share trashFiles.net on Instagram.

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!

A buddy just told me its National Bingo Day, here's a video I made with a friend a few years back all about a local bingo hall. youtu.be/ddOrjxh9nKA

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?

https://www.creativesouth.com/

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

I’ve been road tripping National Parks since Wednesday. Here’s a shot from today. Maybe I’ll thread some more here. More can be seen on my IG https://instagram.com/willtruran?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA==

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

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.

Silly new video up about playing DnD In Figma. The 2nd in the series! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=do-w1Bgu4Po

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)

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

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.

I run a DnD campaign in Figma and decide to make a short video and share an intro file for others to try out. Let me know what you think. Would also love to see some dungeons made in here! https://www.figma.com/community/file/1254470013948378915/VTT-Tile-System-for-Figma-RPG

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==
