25 Beautiful Examples of Colour Photography
Sure, we’ve been taking colour photographs since 1861, but these twenty-five artists go much further than simple colours. They take advantage of it in a way that is both beautiful and astounding, transforming an otherwise ordinary photo into a piece that captures your imagination with ease.

Fall Tour 2009
It is that time of year again! The 2009 Fall Tour kick’s off on October 16th in downtown Toronto. For those of you unfamiliar with the event, it is basically an amazing chance for any student in the digital media field to come down with a bunch of their buddies and take part in an entire day of studio-hopping. We get a rare chance to go into some of Toronto’s biggest, baddest and/or most kick-ass studios and agencies on a work day in order to see what its like to work there. Each studio prepares a presentation for the students which is followed by a question period and then a quick walk to the next stop on the tour. This is a great chance to get your name out there, ask questions and learn more about the industry you’re about to walk in to.
Stops on the tour this year include Organic, Blast Radius, Critical Mass, Oddly, Teehan+Lax and Amoebacorp to name a few.
Even with the Fall Tour rapidly expanding each year, there are only a limited number of seats! This year I believe the cut-off is 200 students, so get signed up! It’s free for God’s sake.
Don’t underestimate the Fall Tour. I went last year and not only did it help me network and even land a job at two agencies this past summer that I might not have gotten otherwise!
Sign up HERE!!!
PS. That’s me who Josh Hirsch from Big Spaceship is throwing the T-shirt to at 5:42 of the video. I correctly answered what DUMBO stood for (their location in NY).
PSS. Isn’t that a hot logo? Haha.
Inspiration: Aerosyn-Lex Mestrovic
Not only does Aerosyn-Lex Mestrovic have one kick-ass name, he has the skills to back it up. I’ve seen the work of thousands of graphic artists and designers and and Aerosyn’s sense of design, art direction and execution are often on a level of their own. He is also a founding member of The Keystone Design Union, a global collective that consistently outputs some of the most stunning work in the industry (which makes sense, looking at their roster of professionals).
Inspiration: Fredrik Melby
I came across the work of Fredrik Melby a few months ago on popular the popular creative professionals community Behance. He combines somewhat dark subject matter with outstanding typography and design sense to deliver crisp, moving imagery. Something everyone must experience.
Check his work out on his Behance or at http://www.anti-ink.com.
Inspiration: Hydro74
Vector illustrations by Hydro74. www.hydro74.com
Hydro74, otherwise known as Joshua M. Smith, is one of the most talented illustrators I’ve ever come across. He combines his excellent drawing hand and artistic vision with his smooth vector skills in order to output some serious work. In fact, I just purchased his Wrath of the Norseman shirt to add to my Hydro74 collection.

Greetings from Mediasoldier
And here it is.
I’ve finally gotten around to redesigning Mediasoldier and relaunching Kojiflak as my personal blog space. I’ve wanted to do this for some time now but was pretty bogged down as I was working at Organic this summer (a digital advertising agency in Toronto).

As time goes on, my intentions with this blog may change, but as it stands now I intend to use it as my playground and an interface to share inspiring work I find on the net.
In the meantime, please check out my portfolio at http://www.mediasoldier.net. I’ve gone with a nice Royal Green color which, I’m not gonna lie, I am coming quite fond of.
Thanks for dropping by,
- Trevor
