The
Graphic Design Legacy |
The
Moving graphic design team has always gone above and beyond the industry
standard in graphics work.
Most website graphics are produced in so-called "graphics programs"
like Photoshop and Fireworks, but the dedicated whatismoving.com
team made a complete, exact scale model of the entire website in papier maché.
Then they used a sophisticated spectrophotometer purchased at a NASA Langley
auction to measure the exact color value of every pixel location on the model,
entering the hexadecimal color values directly into binary code and saving
the arrays as JPEG and GIF files. Every single Moving flyer, press
kit, promo mailing, and poster is individually airbrushed, and 8 out of every
10 attempts is discarded after 48-bit 3600dpi computer scanning reveals any
mathematically quantifiable variance from the master designs, which were painted
by Norman Rockwell shortly before his death in June 2000.

The
ULTIMATE Fark |
But
when they discovered the site called fark.com, the Moving graphic design
team began to fully embrace the digital realm. They sold hundreds of imaginary
items on eBay in order to purchase a symmetric multiprocessing supercomputer
in order to enter the world-famous Fark Photoshop
Contests, and have consistently gotten one or more votes, as long
as they remember to vote for themselves. Examples of their impressive work
for Fark (under the username "whatismoving") can be found below.
But their greatest achievement was the design for the video/DVD box of Moving.
This design utilized all the Fark skills of compositing, illustration, stock-photo
manipulation, masking, feathering, and more; the final image used at least
five separate photographs, plus custom illustrations and over 20 separate
layers. They pulled off a Fark so totally sweet it flips out and kills people.
People to this day ask us how we got that gorgeous picture of a house on a
semi truck at sunset. Asshats. To see how we pulled it off, just follow us
