ALSO Design, Animation, Illustration and Video -wow.






Through Illustrator Julie Rotham's site I discovered her other company Also which specializes in Animation and Web design.
www.also-online.com
It's a three person company consisting of Matt Lamothe, Jenny Volvovski + Julia Rothman- all of whom met at the Rhode Island School of Design. Their work is really youthful + fresh and full of whimsical details and quirky sound effects (like a vacuum cleaner and leaky taps!)
I love all their work but my fave is the animation they created for Etsy.
The illustration is reminiscent of The Triplettes of Belleville and the music + whistling is hilarious.
And the dancing girl at the end - too cute!
One of the freshest companies around methinks.

So many websites - so little sense o humour subtitled remember to not take yourself too seriously

So i have finally -and i mean finally started working on my website tonight
Was inspired by the sites of Illustrator's Debbie Powell and Harriet Russell (those brits - always funnier!!) and American
F Chimero
All are full of quirkiness and do not take themselves or their website too seriously

eg. Debbie Powell's Ist page has a pair of legs that say Come on in!
F Chimero's bio reads "He wished he travelled more"
and instead of "Links' he uses 'Brothers and Sisters in Arms'. Hilarious, Refreshing and something to aspire to.
Hmm i think i wrote this before concerning Number 17 Design firm.
definitely a pattern here.
