For all of you Adobe® nuts out there, I’m sure you’ve been following this little contest held by Cut and Paste and Adobe® to “compose an engaging animation or motion graphic video incorporating the Photoshop brand logo that illustrates the theme of ‘See What’s Possible.’” The participants were only permitted to use Adobe software (Adobe® Photoshop®, Flash®, and/or After Effects® to be exact) to create 15 second long entries.

I haven’t visited House Industries in a good while and was pleasantly surprised when I came across this beauty. This typeface is bold, proud yet not conceited – a face that wears expensive vintage boots and form-fitting leisure jackets but still invites you to catch up over a cup of cappuccino.

First saw this video on my buddy Marc Rapp’s blog. A short animated film comparing the market reality of today and the good ol’ days.
Stretching 1.45 miles long and rising 18-30 feet above such neighborhoods as Hell’s Kitchen/Hudson Yards, West Chelsea, and the Gansevoort Market Historic District, The High Line (built in the 1930′s) was originally just a freight train line connecting factories and warehouses.
