KANYE ON COMPLEX ///

The work that went into the cover of the newest issue of Complex Magazine’s cover is outstanding. Photographer Chris Milk did a hi-res 3D scan of Kanye West’s face and body in order to create a CG Kanye model that could be digitally manipulated. Talk about pushing boundaries…see the video here.

MEGAFONE ///

Homeboy Nicholas Felton (AKA mgfn) has an amazing ability to organize information and design spectacular visuals from them, especially for editorial projects. I love his work and you should too, he’s based in NYC and has done work for New York Magazine, Esquire, Fast Company, NY Times, Metropolis, Print and Wired Magazine. Whoa, that’s one amazing laundry list of clients.
