use new fangled technologies to make old time titles. Complete with all the hand made imperfections you know and love. It’s pretty simple and you can apply this effects stack to ANYTHING. And I mean that. Logos, animations, whatever. And it’s just as simple as doing it once and forgetting about it.

Also check out more video in the #lofijuly series this month. It’ll be rad. If people still stay rad. I do, and I’m people, so I guess they (I) do. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL79TBmLa4lTQIwnNBLT0zvJqckyaKYDoT

What is lofi? what is an Aesthetic? Well learn all this and more. Lofi is esentially a response to hifi and is typified with dirty, textured, rough, and otherwise raw materials. You can see what they’re going for in things like Instagram, or ads for levis jeans, or that mooshead commercial where they take an old bus (retro) and fix it up (hand made) and tour around making music (authentic) and make a video with what is supposed to look like very little processing and true to life real, gritty, and original stuff.

That’s all bullshit because it’s just a new way of carefully crafting an image and I’ll show you how to do some of those tricks all this month in LOFIJULY!… hash tag!

Tell me what you feel about lofi in the comments below! And if you have a thing you want to hear me talk about ask away. I love suggestions.

There is a low of talk about the move to subscription based software. Adobe CC is totally subscription based and it’s a huge problem for some. But the old way was a huge problem for some to. Surely you can’t make all the people happy all the time but boy is change scary. Adobe CC is out and available for download but will you buy in?

Let me know in the comments you feel… with your feeling. Or what you think… with your thoughts.
