“The Digital Portfolio,” OnLine Design, Cheshire Dave, July 1995 (Pinch)
“[D]istinctive for combining expert production skills with a sense of concept...Pinch, by Brad Johnson, is an ingenious and outlandish product presentation—for a fictional manufacturer of clothespins.”
-
“Desktop Animation,” Electronic Link Magazine, Ken Coupland, May 1995 (Pinch)
“Johnson’s presentation is a startlingly effective piece of self-promotion. Affecting the guise of a fictitious clothespin manufacturer, Johnson turned a pirouetting, 3D rendered clothespin into a memorable showcase of his animation talents, and an illustration of the technical strides made by desktop animation.”
