Animated Type



Spiral iPad Animated Type - Katie Hilton www.khilton.co.uk




Little test of animated type using an interactive iPad app. The animated letters were then put together and re-coloured in After Effects.

I'm been really interested in finding ways to animate type in unusual ways for a while now. I like the idea of animating in camera or by interacting with the type by hand rather than fully computer generated. I often put all the letters together in After Effects however. 

I worked on another project last year for university and came up with some typefaces consisting of cheese, lemons and lights!








Litte Moreton Hall


Little Moreton Hall National Trust


I took full advantage of the bank holiday last week and headed for Little Moreton Hall, an amazingly preserved Tudor building in Congleton.

The timber framed structure was built over 500 years ago, but is still going strong (albeit quite wonky!) I'm a bit of a National Trust obsessive so I've been to a lot, but this is by far one of the most stunning ones. As always for the National Trust, the restaurant was delicious and the guided tour fascinating. I highly recommend taking a trip there if you're interested in history, or just nice buildings in general!

Pinterest Round-up

I love Pinterest. My blog design is even inspired by it! I use Pinterest every day, not just for general browsing but its also a great place to research new projects. I pin a lot so I thought I'd pick my very favourites to show on here every now and again. Onwards!









Re-Decorating














Sunny England



Would you believe this is what the weather was like just 2 weeks ago? I took full advantage and headed for the seaside. Wales to be precise!


There's a little charity shop I always stop by in Rhos-on-Sea which is slightly up the coast. Always get such amazing finds there, such as this copy of Haydn's Creation for £1 and a Kodak Duaflex for £2!


 


 

The Netherlands



I spent 9 days on a river cruise around The Netherlands last month, taking in the sights Franeker, Arnhem, Amsterdam and many others! My favourite place has to be Franeker, in particular the lovely art nouveau Planetarium Cafe (I was so busy enjoying my coffee I neglected to take any pictures :S). I highly recommend it if you're ever there. Although very cold, it did make for some crisp and blue photos. And of course I sampled the many sweet delights the Dutch have to offer...




There was also an amazing exhibition displayed across some hoardings outside Amsterdam station. This was one of my favourites, some kind of folded paper affair that makes me want to have a go!


France


Finally going through my pictures from France last summer. More to come!
