The POINT20 light is a battery powered, self-contained LED unit, with wireless control. Perfect for lighting up trees, architectural features, pathways and marquees. www.corelighting.co.uk <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/2416/267812/final render 1.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="502" align="left" /> http://sambeeson-design.co.uk/267812/Corelighting Gumballs http://sambeeson-design.co.uk/266465/Gumballs http://sambeeson-design.co.uk/266465/Gumballs Sat, 13 Feb 2010 21:25:19 +0000 Sam Beeson 266465 This animation started life as a test for mograph.

One day I found myself drawing a hotdog character for some reason. From this I decided to make an animation, and here is the result. I used Cinema 4D and after Effects.

The design challenge was to create a fun concept for business cards, that used a 3D element. My idea unfolds to reveal a set of 3D specs, that are used to view an online portfolio in 3D.

Social. Sound. The sterile way, in which our audio experiences have evolved, has left us disconnected from the emotion of listening to music. Juke explores the use of tangible interactions that were lost with dying music formats, enhancing the music experience and making the home a more social space. Physical and digital elements of Juke are linked by time, and users are engaged through a visually rich and intuitive touch interface.

The Playlists not only act as a Hub control, but are portable music players to be enjoyed individually or shared with friends. <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/2416/38878/hero.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="894" align="left" /> <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/2416/38878/jukelogo1.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="397" align="left" /> http://sambeeson-design.co.uk/38878/Juke-music-system RSA postage stamps http://sambeeson-design.co.uk/35919/RSA-postage-stamps http://sambeeson-design.co.uk/35919/RSA-postage-stamps Tue, 16 Jun 2009 21:11:25 +0000 Sam Beeson 35919 Augmented Eco In designing a new set of postage stamps, the emphasis was placed on finding a way to engage and excite a new and younger audience. Interaction with Augmented Reality added a new dimension to the environmental message the stamps were to portray. Fiduciary markers are viewed through web cam or camera phone, as virtual objects are combined with the real world.

In collaboration with Royal Mail, a new set of postage stamps were produced, including fiduciary markers, in order to display ‘green’ themed objects through a camera. The objects move around onscreen, in relation to the stamp’s position. <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/2416/35919/stamps.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="448" align="left" /> http://sambeeson-design.co.uk/35919/RSA-postage-stamps Augmented reality http://sambeeson-design.co.uk/35917/Augmented-reality http://sambeeson-design.co.uk/35917/Augmented-reality Tue, 16 Jun 2009 21:10:56 +0000 Sam Beeson 35917 Further Concepts In thinking about the uses of augmented reality during the stamps project, there were many opportunities in which it could be applied. Different forms of advertising could draw in a fresh audience, and the use of new technologies would excite a younger crowd, who perhaps would not otherwise pay attention to our world's climate issues.
