I stumbled upon the jaw dropping animated GIFs of Mr. Div (Matthew DiVito) a motion graphics designer and aspiring game developer. His GIFs are generally based around geometric shapes, with effects that range from subtle to sublime. Some nice eye candy!
These are stills of some of my favourites, but click here to see them in action on mr.divs' tumblr page. Enjoy!

A few months ago what caught my attention on the news was a mystery knitter who attached a 50-yard-long scarf featuring woollen athletes to Saltburn pier. It had a dramatic effect as this huge creation of beautifully knitted athletic figures appeared overnight.

Advertising seems to be being turned on its head in search of the most repulsive ad you can create.
