Blowing my own trumpet is certainly not the reason for having set up this blog. However, as this concerns a publication that is close to heart (ok I’m editor-in chief), I wanted to share this amongst the crowd. So yes, this is personal. That said, I’m proud to announce the latest issue of Designflux, the only magazine devoted to the subject of motion design that takes an in depth look at current and future forms in the field. We interview the professionals, critics, producers, students, programmers, inventors….. and present it all in its audiovisual glory.
Designflux is a quarterly publication, released directly online and as a compliment to the internationally renowned print magazine, étapes: With fifteen years of experience in visual communication, étapes: continues to delve into this ever expanding field with passion and pertinence, supporting a community that has grown with the magazine over the years. Today, étapes: exists in French, English, Spanish & Chinese. With the latest release of Designflux, étapes: expands its vision and we hope that in years to come, Designflux too can look back and see an evolution that has helped push forward the field of motion design, supporting all the while those who work so hard at it.
In this latest issue, we take a look at two particular disciplines that are emerging as important areas of design and are having equally important influence in the realm of motion design – data visualization and sound design. Interviews with José Luis de Vincente, Santiago Ortiz, Aaron Koblin, Thomas Hicks, Hecq and Christopher Hewitt aka Dstrukt. We also catch up with work from BUF Paris as well as showcase a selection of cutting edge work from Trollbäck & Company, wOw Japan, David Betteridge, Fredéric Tacer and doncvoilà.
Making this issue was an immense pleasure; the people I have had the opportunity to interview, meet and share ideas with have enriched my understanding. It is my goal to transmit that to a larger audience. We hope you enjoy!
