Say hello to the new img.oneteneleven site. 

The site was setup due to the forthcoming closure of Small Victories. oneteneleven.smvi.co. This site was based on dropbox and was used to dump images & gifs to create quick portfolio updates.

The new img.oneteneleven site is an expansion of this, containing a simple repository of images, animations & creative output.

It will be used mainly to showcase unused creative work, experiments, 3D render tests or projects that don’t make it to studio.oneteneleven.com.

Built upon Grav CMS with a custom theme setup by OneTenEleven. The theme is developed around Bulma, a free open source CSS framework. Bulma coupled with Grav are a pleasure to work with and the site was up and running in just a few days.

Galleries are not quite as quick to setup as with Dropbox, however the Grav Shortcode Gallery++ Plugin makes things simple.

There are still some tweaks and refinements to make, and images will be updated from time to time. Keep an eye on the blog for updates.

Any feedback welcome!

Ludovico Einaudi – Main Theme Of “The Third Murder”

Posted on by admin

I am pleased to share my latest project for The new collection from ground-breaking composer and pianist Ludovico Einaudi, ‘Einaudi Undiscovered’ which is out now.

A selection of rarities, hidden gems and unreleased tracks handpicked by Einaudi himself from his 25-year career.

My video for Main Theme, is a cinematic exploration of abstract 3D landscapes, fluid simulations & sculptural formations set to Ludovico Einaudi’s Title Track from the film “Third Murder”, one of the tracks featured in the album ‘Undiscovered’.

Taking inspiration from natural elements, Japanese landscapes & Mother Earth. There are also subtle references to the opening sequence of the 2017 film.

The landscapes were developed using displacement mapping, height maps & procedurally generated techniques.

Created on Mac utilising Cinema4D & X-Particles. Textured & rendered with Cycles4D.

I am participating in this years 36DaysOfType for the 3rd time. The project was briefly on hold due to Instagram blocks, but is now back on!

This year I am focused on producing a custom experimental typeface. I have concepts designed and will be refining and posting to Instagram day by day throughout March.

By early April OneTenEleven should have its first custom typeface!

Audio & Geometry

Posted on by admin

After researching generative audio & geometry I came across this amazing experimental R&D project by Simon Russel using Houdini.

Simon’s Audio-Geometry-Exploration has some great insights into using Midi to generate geometry using Houdini & Cinema4D.

Maybe it is time to explore Houdini!

Here are some of my favourites.

Generisch Mono @YWFT

Posted on by admin

Generisch Mono is a monospaced version of Generisch Sans. Generisch – a german equivalent of generic – sans serif typeface has gain its own place among designers and earn such popularity due to its “simple” design.

Generisch is influenced by early grotesk typefaces from early 1900’s when sans was starting to get popular and used as a body type. Some old ligatures such as ch ck and ng are present in generisch (not the ct and st tho), old style numeral for better typesetting experience and more.

Codec Pro @YWFT

Posted on by admin

Codec Pro is the newest incarnation of the Codec family, developed in 2017 by Francesco Canovaro, Cosimo Lorenzo Pancini and Andrea Tartarelli as a research on the subtleties and the variations on the theme of the geometric sans-serif design.

The original typeface has been completely redesigned and expanded to feature a wide range of eleven weights, from the hairline thin to the bulky fat, while the character set has been extended to include not only latin, cyrillic and greek but also arabic, farsi and urdu scripts.

A veritable swiss-knife for the designer, Codec Pro also includes a wide range of alternates and stylistic sets that cover all the subfamilies and the moods of the original type system. So while the standard set (Codec Cold) has terminals cut parallel or perpendicular to the baseline, emphasizing geometry for a more construceted look, stylistic set 4 (Codec Warm) uses open diagonal cuts and humanist shapes to give the typeface a gentler, warmer feeling. Set 3 (Codec Cold Logo) comes alive with funky ligatures, while Set 5 (Codec Warm Logo) stretches uppercase characters horizontally for a dynamic, unexpect effect
