Following Hillman Curtis

One of my favorite design guys these days is Hillman Curtis. His area of speciality is motion graphics. I heard him speak at a design conference a while ago and he really inspired me. In addition to traditional flash animations, he specializes in making short films for the web. He continues to surprise me with his great ideas. What makes an artist great, in any medium, is when they present ideas that go beyond the expected boundaries. Hillman always leaves me thinking, "Why didn't I think of that?" At the same time, he inspires me to go further in my own visual thinking. Go look at his web site. I especially like the "photographs" he has displaying in a loop on his home page... give them a second to load.

Visiting that and other design sites has inspired me to re-design my web site. It never fails that I get my site up and running reasonably well, and a day later I want to re-do it.

That's the beauty and the curse of the internet right there.
