Ou comment Ian Acton illustre des citations grâce à de très simples petites animations…
Ian Acton (dont je vous avais déjà présenté le travail ici-même) réalise des animations vectorielles.
Son style très froid fait massivement appel à des interpolations de mouvement très mécaniques et ne m’enthousiasme que très rarement, mais sa récente mise en application pour IBM m’a plutôt convaincu : afin d’illustrer différentes citations d’employés de l’entreprise (chercheurs, managers, etc.), il a réalisé une série de posters animés au caractère ludique/symbolique. Le résultat aurait pû être vraiment trop terre-à-terre mais il s’avère être plutôt sympathique.

- “Life is full of speed bumps, just roll over them and keep going. Find mentors and cheerleaders who you really trust who can help you through the rough spots. And when you do fail, do some root cause analysis, learn from it, and move on.”
-
- “Keep an open mind and don’t go down a rabbit hole. Solve the things you can solve instead of beating your head against the wall about things you can’t control.”
-
- “Workload is like the ocean—it hits you wave after wave, endlessly. You need to learn how to stay above—sometimes you tread water but you can only do this for a short time, sometimes you jump the waves, and sometimes you just beach yourself. And oh yeah… watch for sharks—the things that bite you when you least expect it.”
-
- “Break down a complex problem into simpler, smaller problems and tackle those one by one. The solution may not reveal itself for awhile, but research is usually a bunch of failures until the pieces of the puzzle fall into place and the answer becomes clear.”
-
- “Don’t just look at a problem’s exterior, identify the root cause. Then think of multiple ways to solve the problem and compare your options.”

- « You have to be patient with yourself and find new ways to persevere in the face of external skepticism. Having a pipeline of different ideas at different stages of maturity keeps you going. »
