How ABC really promoted itself in the early 1970s

nobody@vox.com(Jack Yan) — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 13:55:28 +0000

ABC goes old school for US Life on Mars

nobody@vox.com(Jack Yan) — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 10:55:20 +0000

When to break the rules

nobody@vox.com(The Book Trailer Blog) — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 16:57:09 +0000

I wrote in a previous post that authors are not voice talent and therefore should not be used for voiceovers in book trailers. But, of course, there are exceptions to every rule. In the case of Michael Chabon's trailer for The Yiddish Policeman's ...

Ever get a goofy name or saying stuck in your head? I did... It was 'Meth Prophet'. So I took a little inspiration from such an odd pairing of words and did some original typography design. Followed by an illustration that I think would work ...

Book trailer as short film

nobody@vox.com(The Book Trailer Blog) — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 18:36:29 +0000

This trailer for The Book Thief by Markus Zusak is a beautiful example of using a short film as a book trailer. The choice of music is wonderful. The young actress is the perfect narrator. And the dim candle-lit scene is mysterious without being t...
