Abduzeedo Updates and T-Shirt Giveaway

March 13, 2009 from PauloGabriel's blog

"With great power there must come great responsibility". We are well aware of this amazing quote by uncle Ben. For that, we'd like to apologise to all of you who tried to visit Abduzeedo this week and didn't make, because our server was down.

For some time now, Abduzeedo has been growing a lot, thanks to all of you guys. But unfortunately, our server needs also grow with us, and sometimes it doesn't follow our pace. That's why Abduzeedo was down for at least 2 days this week. We didn't intend for that, and we are really sorry. Also, we'd like to get your opinions on a nice server, that supports gigantic sites with gigantic traffic, and we will give away an Abduzeedo T-shirt for that. If you know any, let us know!

And today, we also would like to announce the winners of the last 2 giveaways that we started running some weeks ago: "Designing for the Web book" and the "500 Postcards by PrintPrintPrint.Biz". So, I'll just cut the little talk and announce it. :)

Rad Pattern in Illustrator that Makes you Dizzy
 Rad Pattern in Illustrator that Makes you Dizzy
Yesterday I was checking a book I have about skateboard decks design called New Skateboard Graphics. It's a super cool book and we have even given a copy away here on Abduzeedo. So while I was flipping through the pages I found this beautiful design that was a crazy pattern. It was a deck from Element, and I decided to try to do that in Illustrator.

Book Suggestion

Book Suggestion: Brazilian Graphic Design Timeline
 Book Suggestion: Timeline of Graphic Design in Brazil
As the name implies, this book (but I dare call a Bible) tells the story of graphic design in Brazil in a very intelligent way and brings a wealth of incredible images and with a touch of nostalgia for most Brazilians.
