Piper – Animated Short – Pixar Animation Studios

November 18, 2020 by Adam Jarvis Leave a Comment

“Piper” tells the story of a hungry sandpiper hatchling who ventures from her nest for the first time to dig for food by the shoreline. The only problem is, the food is buried beneath the sand where scary waves roll up onto the shore.

If you missed this charming animated short played before the theatrical releases of Finding Dory (2016), here’s your chance. Not only is it an adorable story, but the style of digital character rendering is truly remarkable. To tell you the truth, (although I have nothing against fish adventures) this is the story that stayed with me.

Tell us what you think about it below in the comments section:

If you didn’t log the hours, it never happened

When you are good at something (like design) or fast at delivering that skill, it creates the illusion for some clients that your work requires less effort. That myth is the curse of the artist because many people tend to take advantage of creative talent, rather than valuing it.

The best way to command respect for your time is to bill for it. Nothing sobers up a client’s perception of reality than an honest, time-itemized invoice. Discount it (if you choose) so that they can see your generosity. If you don’t show a discount when you choose to give one – it’s as though it never happened. The only thing you will accomplish is establishing a lower price that will be challenging to increase.

Commit to an hourly rate, then stick to it. Use a timer to capture what you put into these projects. Stop the timer when you stop working. Start it again when you return. It sounds simple but if you forget to, you risk the possibility of losing money.

Retro Sci-Fi Pop

This is the sixth fragrance release for the international pop star. But it wasn’t the intoxicating scent that captured our attention. It was the marketing.
Check out this adorable and interesting animated commercial.
Tell the truth, you’re curious to see what it smells like aren’t you?:

São Paulo, Brazil –

These colourful faces caught our eye. Julio has done a wonderful job creating this series of vibrant vector portraits. Great job with the whips of hair, especially when knocked out in white.

Vector Toronto Newspaper Boxes

$1.00 Daily

$1.50 Weekends

The global newspaper industry has seen a dramatic decline in paper readership this past decade. The smart ones adapted early to the inevitable transformation to digital. However, there are still those out there who love the feel of a newspaper. The ones who appreciate the typesetting and craftsmanship that goes into designing one daily.
Local newspapers have become little more than taco shells for flyers. But the established names in Canadian News still stand. In spite of the global economy or political climate.

These news icons that used to scatter the city still mean something to the people of Toronto. There was a time when you could not walk a few blocks without seeing these 3 waiting for you at the bus stop. Today, it seems like everyone has their noses in a device of some kind. Aside from the messy fingers, I miss it a bit.
