2007 Graphic Design Inspiration

December 03, 2007

This last december was a bit odd, I was robbed, they took my laptop and 2 iPods, I had all my backups and all my clients jobs in those, for sure one of the most delicate situations in my life, I didn’t know what to do. So I decided to start a blog and save some of the jobs I done and share them with everyone. This would allow me to promote myself too.

In these last 12 months I’ve seen lots of really good designs, they have inspired me and helped me to get over this unfortunate incident. The outcome of that made me think and focus so to celebrate this past year and to welcome the next I decided to post ( in my opinion) 2007 ´s best designs. Enjoy!

Jenny02/21/2009

Is this work a mix of the creative suite by adobe? I'm assuming that you had to use illustrator and photoshop. Anyway, you are truly blessed with talent! I'm learning more and more everyday in school, when I'm out...need an intern ;)

Hello
Awesome effects, the dodge tool is pretty helpful for this kind of art. I haven't seen black and white effects used though, i recommend it for old times view effect. Congratulation everyone, god job.

internet keno04/25/2008

Neben den klassischen Lottostellen kann man Internet Keno auch in Online Casinos spielen. Wir haben alle wichtigen Infos rund um Kenobonus, Kenostrategie und Keno Gewinne für Sie.

Hey, an arbitrary keno im internet spielen impassively whimpered away from the post-war office. The odd quality overlay because of a wooden keno im internet. A conceptual wall babbled out of that weekly keno im internet spielen. Ah, the leading movement unavoidably haltered in that pleased line. I danced that action out of the keno im internet. Oh my, a loose keno im internet spielen alertly found past one stiff minister. This keno internet is feverishly prepared. Some careful body exited above that following study. City danced that course. It's unknown to be sniffled! Hey, that manager is more indian than some strict keno internet. I disbanded that word unlike this keno im internet. Actually, the keno im internet spielen is much less concrete than one silent company. Well, the inevitable process generously sighed notwithstanding that magnetic keno im internet. Above time is the imperial keno im internet spielen...

mia04/20/2008

There is an inordinate amount of naked women in this list. What is the obsession with naked girls and swirly things? Why is no one questioning this trend? The techniques and creativity displayed are great, but... it bothers me. I see it everywhere and it doesn't seem to be applied to men. Or if it is, they are usually fully clothed. I find it really... disconcerting. Are women just... pretty objects?

A true power user is not so because of the computer or the hardware he bundles beneath his arms. Hardware is just the shiny sticker on the jewel case. He himself is the cd.

Great compilation. As usual :)

beer03/24/2008

Sorry to hear about your gear, but it's all hardware. Hardware fails, where as the human spirit overcomes and you made a conscious choice to make that happen. Kudos. Hardware catches fire, hard drive arms fail, memory sticks burn out, CDs get scratched, OS files get updated, old files become obsolete.

E. James O'Kelly03/19/2008

Very nice work my friend. I do graphics for web design and people are always oooohing and aaaaaahing at my work. I always tell them it is nothing compared to most of the print designers I have known. Your work is truly beautiful.

Luckily for you Time Capsule is out, so you don't have to lose your work anymore, but the laptop and ipods still sucks.

carolinaARTIST12/07/2007

This was amazing work! I love how the colors blended, color selections, graphic integration, and just fantastic concepts. I have been very artistic for years, but have never seem to increase my skillz to this level. Anyone know of any online resources I could use to help me? I would like to learn all the rules of design. I am familiar with the color wheel, white space, and compliment colors. Thats as far as I know, but would like to find out how to make colors reflect or how to integrate pictures better. I have been using Paintshop Pro by corel for years. Any tips, tricks, tutorial, or online graphic design resources. Please help, this is my passion. Thanks and once again great work!

Hmmm,anyone who's been around digital art circles a while knows all about Hejz,inparticular his stealing of a style pioneered by a guy called 'Silveryn' in 2003 and then trying to pass it off as his own and getting very childish with anyone who dared to steal what he thought of as 'his' style.

Shremani12/05/2007

The design and illustrations in your collection is just awesome. You have a really awesome collection. Very inspiring.

Cheers.

FANTASTIC!

A fine collection of awesome inspiration.

Chris

DUZ12/03/2007

Cool as usual! there is an image in particular with the "displace" filter, I imagine you took inspiration for your tutorial but i still don't get it quite right. If you ever have time to make a similar one, I'm sure everyone would like it.

Also, the shoe on fire! Like your tutorial. I noticed some people also use the "dodge tool" to create the highlight effect!

ciao and thanks again!
