Stept Productions





https://vimeo.com/54984630

Stept Productions is a film productions company out of the East Coast with brothers Nick Martini and Alex Martini as founding brothers. In this mutimedia film, they have a great introduction with graphic design influences and then followed by the highlights from the film, The Eighty Six (2012), with music from Mr. Little Jeans. I absolutely love it. Forever my favorite edit I believe.

Typography evironment

I really like this, it really does make you think a bit about how much use from the planet. How long before we completely ruin it? I like the thought of trying to think of the brain as a forest constantly growing and changing, and evolving.

GMO Free America


Here is a great example of typography map about America, and current facts about American opinions about GMOs and there legality. Unfortunately, even though polls consistently show that a significant majority of Americans want to know if the food they’re purchasing contains GMOs, the powerful biotech lobby has succeeded in keeping this information from the public.





Graphic design ii: Outdoor tech

This is the Outdoor Tech home page. I believe it was  a good representation of a good composure. The website is clean and easy to navigate through the page. Your eyes drift from all the options of the company to the newest deal they're selling current or a new product they offer. This design is set up in a Z formation.

graphic design

This photo is a good example of graphic design and typography, I like that the words he chose are the definition of the exact thing it is. how Ironic.

Documentary ii

January 2012:
Tom Wallisch launches off a rail in Aspen, Colorado in training for finals. I like this action shot as documentary style of shots. the rings from the sunlight and cold air make Tom look like he's at a movie set.

July 2010
South Africa

Sport Feature:
I like this photo from the 2010 world cup. On a summer's night in early July, millions of fans from around the world tuned in to watch the FIFA World cup final between Spain and The Netherlands, both of which had won a world cup before. The game was fast paced and rough with plenty of bookings from the referee. The game was tied and went into overtime. No one could break free of the deadlock until Torres and Fabregras  worked together to get the ball to Iniesta in the 116' minute of overtime and scored a far post goal. 

Ethical considerations

Ethical considerations ii:

This is a photo from the China's Xianjing Autonomous Region. In the photo you see two men on camels. I feel like your actually in the photo, walking along side with them, traveling through the basin. This photo takes more a veil of ignorance type of view. This allows the reader to try to feel the way I feel when I was in the moment taking the photo traveling.

Ethical Considerations

Ethical Considerations i: 

Mt. Hood, Oregon
May 30, 2002

In May 2002 one of the worst climbing a rescues disasters ever on Mt. Hood history. Two climbers that were descending Mt.Hood lost footing and crashed into a group that were ascending. Nine climbers had fallen into a 12 meter deep crevasse, and three were dead. On top of the climbers falling, one of the rescue helicopters suddenly lost draft and crashing into the bowl of the mountain. I chose to write about this photo with ethical considerations because it shows a utilitarianism type of approach. This photo completely encompasses the entire tragedy of the Mt. Hood disaster. The helicopter is completely flipped over, the man is asking for help, people are being attended to, there are people watching at the ridge line. Everything is adds up to a horrific scene that truly nobody wants to be a part of.  The worst and most ironic part of the photo is the shadow of the helicopter on the mountain that is now saving them, almost mockingly.
