Personally I look at Abduzeedo to find inspiration, to do my own art. Therefore I really appreciate, the Daily Inspiration, Case Studies, Interviews and showoffs.
But when you make series like The Perfect Office, Museums, Logos and so on, it gives me an interest and a view on something that I maybe not searching at the net. And thats so cool - love those series.
And a last thing, where is the Video of the week thread? I really miss it.
Thanks :)
i'd love to see some interesting vector tuts!
very cool... but not quite as cool as typography :)
I want more Website inspirations!
Examples:
Showcase of Portfolios, E-Shops, Flashsites, Blogs etc.
:)
c 'est spécial !

More photography posts with the photographers explaining what they did to capture their images. Camera settings, lighting techniques or just downright patience to get that "perfect" shot. Whatever they did, I would like to know more.
would love to see more tutorials, you guys always have great topics!
I really like the showcases and inspiration posts about the retro/vintage style. Why not use the same idea for different design styles?
This book looks awesome, fingers crossed!
Hey all, I would love to see more about good flash designs, tuts, and sites. And or more Typography, gotta love typography..
And keep up with the daily inspirations! It really helps me through my process, especially when I am on a block..
Thanks, Jermbo
If I could have more of something it would be more about Character Designers.
I would love to see more articles featuring advanced Photoshop tutorials.
I would love to see you guys post more about the design process of high profile designers like Justin Maller, Peter Jaworkowski etc.,
Also, Hardware reviews would be nice.
A weekly, in depth review on a famous typeface would be cool too.
I really would like to see more articles about processes. perhaps some insight on working a job from start to finish?
I also enjoy seeing the inspirational posts. lots of great stuff to look at!
J.
I very much like the simple, easy-to-follow Photoshop tutorials you (Fabio) post. I'd love to see more of these.
Also, more in-depth interviews with artists would be great. It's very interesting to hear the different perspectives each artist has to offer.
Thanks for the inspiration!
I really like Abduzeedo for inspirations, ideas and wallpapers.
It would be cool to post like a Logo Design (Case Studies style)
I'd like to read more success stories and interviews with designers who made it.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Very interesting indeed!
Great source of inspiration side by side with abduzeedo.com!
Obrigado mais uma vez! (thank you one more time!)...
I would like to see more content (turtorials, inspiration etc) regarding user interface.
Thanx!
Maby a Great artists of the week he/she can work on the digital format or on the old school way paining.
I really love the Daily Inspiration, Case Studies, Interviews it makes my mind open for new work abduzeedo is my firs and last stop of my day.
Keep up the great work.
I would love to see some more pure typography inspiration + i realy enjoyed the article about Joshua Davis (http://abduzeedo.com/design-legends-2-joshua-davis). It gave me a big creative boost when i needed it. There may be more like those.
Cheers!
more packaging please..
I'm looking for videos... it's hard to find good "designs" videos...
And keep the good work.
E o livro é muito interessante!
more font posting.
I come to Abduzeedo for inspiration. We all have our dry patches and certainly could use the 'pick me up'.
Maybe some more photo manipulations?
This book looks super-interesting!
I say that I never get tired of looking at photography works, therefore some Daily Inspiration focused on photography and not only digital works would be highly appreciated. Or not absolutely Daily Inspiration, but some more photography-only articles would be nice to keep up the variety of your content.
Hope this helped :)
I think abduzeedo should continue posting articles as they are doing at present. In addition to that, they should post things which actually create the "artist" in you. I'm not talking about the Daily Inspiration. Instead, they should post things which actually make a user to try out their own methods of creating effects or illustrations.
I know that you guys are posting a lot of tutorials, and that's actually really great. But I see many users, they just make the same exact effect and post it somewhere else with their name. The main purpose of the tutorial is that, you should learn new techniques for that particular type of effect and then do it in your "own" work, not copying the same procedure and posting it somewhere.
Well, this is just my opinion :)
I came to Abduzeedo for the tutorials, originally, but now I use it mostly for inspiration and cool industry articles.
I would really love to see more cool product and packaging design articles. I run a brand-focused design studio, and it's always really cool to see some of the most unique work in the product and brand fields.
beyond that, i really enjoyed that Extinction text tutorial that integrated the 3D text into the design, and i would love to see more content like that.
One of my favorite things about my home printer is that when it get's close to being out of ink, it begins to produce some of the most bizarre & interesting images. I always save them in hopes of someday having a massive collection of 'Welcome Mistakes' and to use in my work.
I'd like to see some more interesting product and packaging design.

Definitivamente necesitamos mas tutoriales y mas Case of Study. Son el principal recurso de aprendisaje e inspiracion.
We definitely need more tutorials and more Case of Study. They are the resource for learning and a great inspiration.
Thaaaanx!
I would like to see more advertising, commercials and stuff :)
I too love the daily inspiration posts. Definitely keep those! To be honest there isn't anything I'd "like to see more of". I really like the balance you have going!
I would like more articles on logos :)
I would like more articles on logos :)
i would like to see some more "underground" artist, artist that have are not know, not even up and coming etc. it would also be nice to see some illustrator tutorials, its seems that this software often gets forgotten about, buts its a great source in combination with the already tutorials on ps. but your guys are covering some pretty good area already :)
keep it up!
Would love to get your input (& possibly some tuts) on designing in the browser.
I'd like more info on what the current trends are. Whats hot right now in the design world etc.
I love the Daily Inspiration, The Perfect Office and the Logo series and I would love to see more of the Perfect Office and the Logo series.
The Perfect Office: I love the Utils and Tools you're showing us. Because it helps me to beautify my office.
Logo: I love good made logos and I love to make them by myself, so where should I get my Inspiration when not here.
the book looks awesome!
I think i would like more photoshop & illustrator tutorials :)
I would love to see more raw and simple abstract art. Anything from abstract sculptures to abstract line drawing. This will stem far from what is normally posted and could pull in a nice crowd.
Thanks
Personally I'd love to see more tutorials. The case studies are great as well. And I love the daily inspiration. But the things you can learn from tutorials are priceless, even if it doesn't seem like you'll use anything right away it is useful later.
I would love to see more abstract art, from abstract sculptures to abstract line art. Maybe the artist can explain his or her direction of inspiration and how they started the piece of work.
I think this would stem very far away from the usual digital art and pull in a nice crowd.
YO YO YO! I love this website as is!
But, more tutorials and inspirational pieces would send me into APPRECIATION OVERLOAD!!!!!
Peace and Love
lets see more WebApps which help designers
I am also looking for inspiration. But would really love to see more Tutorials, especially 3D-Design (Cinema 4D) tutorials. The only ones you can find on the web are those that are more from a technical point of view and not so much about the design. I think a mixture of both is very important, like "3D-Design for print" ...
Well, i'd love to hear and read more about WebApps helping designers :)
Ahhh, and of course, more giveaways!!!!!!!!!!
Oh wow... looks like a very interesting book !
I'm visiting Abduzeedo nearly every day to get inspiration for my own works. Although I work a lot with Photoshop a great source of inspiration are videos to me, however, I often miss them here.
So in my opinion it would be nice to see more video-projects on this wonderful site. : )
kind regards..
Jukeboxx
Thanks!

I love the typography features, so I'd like to see more. Oh! And maybe something about interesting colour schemes. Popularity of colour combinations through the ages? Combinations that you wouldn't think would work, but do? What makes a modern colour scheme and what makes a more retro scheme?
hey guys!
i love your logo-thread! I'm still lerning the design-thing and this ist one of the most interesting thing for me on your blog!
so, i will be happy as a child that gets a lolipop if you send the book to me.
peter from germany/nrw
I would love a serie about illustrators.
Thank you for the sharing.
Pretty neat idea.
More graffiti/guerilla styled art, or natural settings.
i would love to see an article on matte painting or maybe roger dean or syd mead
i like this website, it gives me inspirations .
i would like to see more animation videos or the process of a piece of art, how it was made and such.
Really like the various tutorials, more on web design would be great as that can be more complex.
Would love to see Abduzeedo focus more on the tuts aspect. Love the inspiration pieces though!
Keep it coming guys!
Well, personally I really like everything you guys post! It's really inspirational, and the variety makes it even more awesome! As it's my favorite field, I'd love to see more show offs of illustrators.
And maybe a showcase study of the making of a font? That would be terrific! Anyway, keep up the good work, guys! =)
I totally agree with Aagaard!!!!
I really appreciate this awesome blog, I read and enjoy it daily, it gives me great inspiration and keeps me up to date about present art and artists!
If you're asking what's missing out, I can't think of much except maybe some more information about the rights you have/keep when selling your artwork. For example if you create some artwork for someone else where the idea behind it is given so you "only" do the realisation etc...
I don't know if you ever posted about that topic, but I think it's quite important especially for people that just started out as artists...
Other than that, thanks for the opportunity to win something, this book looks very interesting! :)
Keep up the great work!
I think abduzeedo should cover more subjects like the ones in this book (glitches and data bending), data renderings (http://processing.org/), stereoscopics, and 3-dimensional graphic designs.
I have been looking at this book for a long time and I have been thuroughly inspired by books such as Stereographics, Data Flow, and Tangible.
This looks like it would be an excellent addition to any designer bookshelf. We all learn from "mistakes" and the images above are inspiration as well.
Still being relatively new to the field, I'd like to see some more posts on how different designers got started in their careers. A series about their "launching pads."
Good luck everyone!
I really like "The Perfect Office" posts!!
I'd love more about creating a perfect design environment!
i love following this site. the daily inspiration is a staple of my mornings. I love the bookshelf too. One thing i would love to see more is Typography. I know that you post occasionally on the subject, but I'd love to see more.
Your blog has been a huge resource for me daily in my own design work. I especially love the tutorials and make a point to check each one of them out. I've learned so many new techniques from them! Daily inspiration posts are also a great way to start my day. I read Abduzeedo right when I get into the office to get my design fix.
I'd like more case studies of photographic manipulations.
Eu como web designer acharia interessante algum tipo de série de artigos que unam web design e arte de uma forma mais explícita. Complementaria bem o #Sitesoftheweek, que é sempre bastante inspirador.
I'm missing a tutorials on web design and UI layouts.
I would love to see more posts on the logos A-Z series!
More inspiration posts!
And the new Perfect Office is a good add to abduzeedo.
I visit abduzeedo multiple times daily to look at the inspiration. I enjoy seeing all the posts through out the day. My favorite day is FFFF. The type is amazing. I would like to see more Diving into other sources for inspiration. Looking at and recommending books, etc. Even things that are daily objects or photos that are found to be inspiring.
More discussion on type. A lot of focus is placed on illustrations. I would like to see some nice typography a little more frequent. Overall can't complain. Keep up the good work.
p.s. I love the long posts that take a while to get to the bottom. There is a lot of yum yums for my eye balls. Although it makes me a little sad panda when I reach the end.
I think I would like to see more wallpapers and tutorials on abduzeedo.
That said, this site is one of my regular visits for a reason. I absolutely love your inspirations and your case studies. As an aspiring graphic designer, this site is aman amazing example of what I can look up to.
Well, something i would like to see added to this site, is some videography tutorials in here too.
I'd like to see more on solving design problems and on resolving design to delivery issues.
I read your feed multiple times a day, nice work! - Bob
i wood like to see more tuts for fireworks, thanks
I'd like to see more on solving design problems adn on resolving design to delivery issues.
I read your feed multiple times a day; nice work and thanks. Have fun! - Bob
I would like to see more about typography.
The tutorials you do have are really good; the case studies too.
I want more resource packs - like stock images and brushes etc.
I love this site. Everything is wonderful. But i would love to see more tutorials. When they are put up on here, they are great!!
I would like to see anything to help us designers with non-coding backgrounds to learn how to do that sort of thing. I come from a photography/video background, and found myself in a 9-5 job where I design website layouts and other graphic design work that developers then build. If I could learn tips from pros - especially other artists, we all think visually! - I could have control over whole projects, branch out, and hopefully work for myself someday.
I look this websites for inspiration constantly. But I think a series that would answer questions like: why some designs and designers make it and others dont would be nice. What makes this design so interesting and this one not so much? And keep it up with the tutorials...you need one on Matt Moore. Also, with the tutorials, perhaps making the steps easier, more simple, not all of us are photoshop wizards. Also, maybe a series of advertisements that capture the idea of why this ad was selected over similar ones and other ideas and the concept behind each one, could be interesting. Perhaps some biographies.
Tom
I would love to see more tutorials of how to create certain effects in Photoshop and Illustrator, and also be shown how other artists have used these effects in their art, for a bit of added inspiration.
i really enjoy the interviews with artists and illustrators, it let us know how designers from all over the globe work, think or feel, great!
I already love the articles you put up on this site. However, I've always wanted to see a showcase of non-grid designs.
I know you can still make great designs without a strict grid but I've only seen a couple of examples.
I find it interesting to see how things are used or the effects of use on objects, spaces and places. This usually gives a designer an idea about how well something was designed or how something could be better designed. More posts about this issue would be good to see. Thanks for asking.
Fresh free font Fridays are great, I like things like this were someone with taste has gone these unless libraries of free fonts to find the gems. Even if it's finding wordpress themes, photoshop brushes, and anything else that can help a designer along. It's good, great work!
PS book sounds great ;)
I think that if the website had more tutorials and interviews with artists it would be great. I want to know more about the inner workings of the pieces; why they are the way they are. Thanks!
Great work!!!
http://emeyers399.deviantart.com/
i would love to see some more AI tutorials because i have just started moving my work to the computer and your websites tutorials help me out a lot.
I wouldn't mind seeing tutorials on web design. :)
I would like to see more case studies & perhaps in greater detail.
I would like to see some posts on iphone apps. I have read favorite websites posts and have enjoyed everyone of them. I know there are a lot of review sites out their already, but I would like Abduzeedo's perspective on iPhone Apps / Android app too.
Maybe you should post more about "free stuff":
1)Visual Arts (video installations, projection mapping, etc.)
2) Open Source Software Tuts/Packs (Processing, MAX MSP, Blender)
3) Creative Commons (not just designer resoruces, but ebooks, magazines)
This open source stuff would promote interaction, sharing and discourage piracy amog us.aaannnd contests based upon these same software! greetings from Mexico City.
I would love to see some more product design news and fetures which incorporate new technologies.
While were on it I'd live to know a handy way to do glitch-ed out text in photoshop or illustrator.
An explination of how to even do it in after effects or something would be killer.
Cool book! I'd love to see some vector art-based tutorials.
I would love to see some more product design news and features which incorporate new technologies.
More of the office supplies,furniture, office layouts...
I would like you to post more collections of nice Web Design.
Greets,
Phil
I'd like you to post more about art and manual processes in design, like various kinds of paper, ink and other materials... something more experimental without the cmd+Z.. hehehe
That's it.. Congrats!
I love the logo inspiration so far! Would love to see more of them! PS. I kinda dislike the 'image shows in a fade (and to late) javascript'
I'd love to see more 35mm photography shots, maybe some calligraphy work, graffiti art, sculptures, architecture, furniture and home decor, and maybe some articles specifically aimed at how to expand one's artistic boundaries and how to draw inspiration more efficiently from one's environment and social atmosphere.
I would really like to see some more web design!
Hi there, I would love to see Photoshop tutorials.
I would love to win this book because im going to a designer school next year (its a big dream which comes true) so i have something to learn and get better prepared for this school :)
I love the posts that showcase certain comic book characters done by various artists.
vector based tutorials/inspiration i do a lot of that kind f work and would love to see some. maybe some flash also
So, would love this book, secondly please post more tutorials, specifically with CS4 tips. It's always like...oh why did not I think of that, or Whoa thats way quicker then what I do.
Thanks a lot....this is at the top of my bookmark list and I love everything ya'll post. Literally!!
I would like to see posts about art in web design and how those melt with each other.
How about more glitch art!
More case studies would be great :)
hey nice book! i would like to see more interviews with professional graphic- and webdesigners.
More interviews please
I come to abduzeedo to be taught from like minded artist who love to share their knowledge of the fine arts. On the other hand I work in a field of design that I wouldn't consider a fine art. Yellow Page design is dull and very limiting to a creative mind, when compared to the rest of the design industry.
My question to abduzeedo is this. Would it be possible for your research team to give the yellow page design world a up beat take/tutorial on this nearly out dated, non-exciting, and easily overlooked industry?
Thank you for your time.
more likely for inspiration.. but some more illustrations wouldn't hurt anyone :P
I'd like to see more Case Study from great digital artists!
I'd love to see articles written by different designers who cover a favorite effect, or style, containing a tutorial on how to achieve the effect, and then some demonstrations of the effect in action in their different pieces
STRANGITIES.com - Strange Short Fiction
Love the Techniques.
I would like to know how to make something like that hand behind a barrier in the "Giant Hand for Heineken" Ad. I could see using that technique in many different designs and in different ways, not just hands.
Thanks!
Love your site!
Inspiration posts are always nice.
One more vote for logo design case studies. Keep up the good work!
I check out abduzeedo everyday to see what's new. I really like the daily inspiration and the artist profiles, I especially enjoyed the Hand Made Font article. The one thing I feel that abduzeedo and the community could benefit from is seeing more posts about screen printing. I would like to see articles about the artists and process, from textile production printing to hand printed art. I don't think most people understand the process of printing a shirt or art print. There are so many possibilities with screen printing that are amazing.
i'd like to see more tutorials!
fantastic :D
I can always count on Abduzeedo for a look of unique beautiful design.
I would love to see more posts about typography/print design.
I would like you to post more about editorial design an dinterviews, its always nice to read about other designers experiences.
This is great! I would personally like to see more zombie and Star Wars fan art. This site is the best! Top notch inspiration for us designers!
to be honest, i could use more of everything... interviews specially, and NEVER stop doing the daily inspirations... i check this website everyday, thank you!
More websites tutorials and inspirations!!!
Hi there
I personally check out this website everyday, I use it as a source of really cool ideas from the "Daily Inspiration" article, wich for me it's one of the best.
But what I really want to see from abduzeedo is more opinion articles, taking about your points of views in some kind of topic, let's say the difference between art and design, also talk about emerging artists and cool new effects. Mostly as an information/opinion articles for the starters and intermediate users, like me.
Hope it's helpful!!
I would like to see some Flash design tutorials!
More on photographers!
WOW this book could do me a lot of good
I'd really love to see more advanced tutorials and some posts that teach design concepts and fundamentals, as opposed to application specific techniques (which I still love).
Some advanced Flash and Actionscript tutorials !
I love the site as is, but more tutorials and photographers are always welcome!
Very cool!
There are lots of great inspirational posts, so I'd like to see more tutorial posts--particularly in Photoshop.
I'd like to see more tuts on advance photoshop techniques. Love your inspiration sections!
I would like to see more on religious design around the world.
I would like to see more web tutorials - fun/useful things to do with simple coding.
Also, I've never been successful at finding cool rollover images with search engines - maybe a post on unique rollovers.
Love your daily inspiration, tutorials, & photography entries.
Thanks, Emily
Before and after design. Design make overs etc. =)
PSD ->Wordpress Tutorials
Wireframing Tutorials
good luck to everyone
Personally, I would love to see some methods and hints and tips, etc for putting together a portfolio. Maybe tell us how zee or any other artists did theres? What they did, their thought processes, how the got inspiration, selecting the right pieces and even how they presented it.
Would be especially handy for me as I'm making one at the moment ^ ^
When I wake up I always take a look at 'what Abduzeedo has to show me today'. I love nearly all of the posts, but I'm more fan of the part with graphical design. I see a lot of illustrations and I'm abit tired of it, to be completely honest. I think that you should post more about logos (Logos of the week?), websites (maybe a "Perfect Coding" post), posters and typography in general.
And also - get Video of the week back! It was awesome!
opa, quero o livro!
tópicos
experimentos fotográficos, tipografia, instalações
I would love to see some more typography, and maybe some interactive design type stuff!
Some more videos would be nice.
Eu acho que seria ótimo ter mais icones para nós baixarmos, tipo um "icons of the week". Abraços!
some articles about layouts would be great :)
Hi, I would love to see more tutorials or tutorial websites. Basically any tutorials for Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects, or anything really. cool giveaway too.
more video!
I'd like to see a section focused on the history of design and its noticeable effect on modern design. as well as more about packaging design. Love the daily inspirations section.
I would love to see more case studies and typography stuffs, it will be awesome. I didn't say Tutorials cause it would be so cliche, but you can consider this answer. =]
As a beginner, I would like to see more tutorials on Illustrator. Also, I'd really enjoy more photography material being posted.
I love all the Daily Inspirations, but I love it even more when one of the artists is interviewed afterwards or gives a small tutorial on how he or she created their piece!
tradicional painting inspiration
I would love to see more on things such as modern illustrative takes on traditional art or illustration forms. For example, takes on 1800's Japanese paintings and prints or pieces inspired by this and other similar styles.
More videos would aslo be cool, return of video of the week maybe?
Love the Case Study of Ana Ivanovic Illustration, some more photo manipulation collage's would be ace, oh and this book would be lovely! x
Id like to see more stuff about web design. Maybe some tutorials for forum themes, liking making H2s and stuff.
Interesting book here! Sometimes "happy mistakes" or glitches make some interesting visuals!
Some of it reminds me of data visualization, which I would love to see covered more here on Abduzeedo.
I really like the free font fridays, i just wish it had more fonts included. I get sick of looking for some at various sites. ;) but i love the daily inspirations and the tutorials. Your tuts have helped me sooo much. Thanks for all the help in my designs!
fonts! more fonts! fonts! more fonts!
I'd like to see more tutorials about concept art illustration! It would be a great help and inspiration for my work.
I would like to see in Abduzeedo more topics and tutorials about stablishing a freelancer status.
This sounds cliché, but I think Abduzeedo has the exact right amount of tutorials, inspiration, interviews etc. I wouldn't want to change anything, seriously.
Keep being awesome!
I would like to see more post about 3d products.
Personally I come to Abduzeedo everyday to read the Daily Inspiration to find inspiration and ideas for my own art and design. But while here I also like to check the Case Studies, Interviews and showoffs.
I love general design, art, and photography of all kinds. I can find inspiration and new ideas or techniques from them all. I love this sight because it offers it all. I wouldn’t change a thing.
I've been really enjoying the Designer Bookshelf series, I'd like to see more posts like that, maybe on other topics (Designers DVD shelf? I dunno...). I think the format works really well and it's lead me to look up more info on a few of the books.
And tutorials and links to cool products are always good too.
You guys rock.
Abduzeedo is an amzing source of inspiration.
But i would like to see some tutorials on portfolio/website design tutorials....
thanks
keep up the good work
Id love to see more tutorials on web design and HDR - and maybe some new ones on roto-scope-ing. lol
I would like a "how to make your own homepage" from the very beginning to the end. maybe for dreamweaver (because i own dreamweaver :D)
an article about making a portfolio for studying would be great because im need one for my bachelor of arts
else:
more tutorial would be cool but abduzeedo is great with the new design and the articles!
thank you
I'd love to see more showcases of beautifully executed websites. I'd also love to see more topics like band posters and album art. I always enjoy a peak inside some well planned and laid out design studios as well. Now I'm just getting greedy.
you should post more "sites of the week". I believe the last one was lacking a bit and I love those series a lot! Really gives me alot of inspiration towards things.
I would also like a post on site's that help designers. Either in tutorials, or just a list of few sites on where to create your own portfolio.
I also love best of the week so keep posting more stuff there. I'm a little slow on the "most recent" technology and this has helped me. It's always cool to find new sites or devices that I was not aware of existed. For example, the "no clicking necessary" site. Who knew that existed? Abduzeedo did!
I love abduzeedo!
i would like to see more study case... they are nice!
more motion work would be cool, or motion-related work like storyboards/styleframes
You know... The first thing I do when I turn on my computer is log onto abduzeedo... Id really like to see some more pixelmator tutorials.
id appreciate the opportunity to see more about tipography (tutorial), and illustration ...... maybe more hdr photos would be fine too! thanks!!!
lets try this. =P
More Tutorials (Photoshop, C4d, Ae).
No more nudes.
More sites of the week (css)
(idea) Topic of the week.
Less Redundant daily inspiration.
More giveaways :P
Bye, God bless u all.
I would like to see more design process' from the greatest current graphic designers, illustrators and web enthusiasts in the world.
These process' would help design students and already professionals to cut more corners to get to greater designs within smallero timeframes and budgets.
Reide
I'd love to see more vector tutorials!
Eu acho que vocês poderiam postar mais tutoriais principalmente para os que estão começando a estudar e já são apaixonados por Design Gráfico, como eu.
O melhor site que encontrei até agora sobre design. Muito bom!
Obrigado.
More interviews with design shops and studios.
Definitely some more Illustrator vector tuts, and maybe some more with photography!
I'd definitely like to see more case studies.
Case studies are great, they help you understand the methods and processes that other artists use in their work, which can be completely different from the way you do something yourself.
Love case studies, inspirational collections, ads, anything that gives me a new perspective on things.
=D Looks like such a great book, what a great idea!
Well I really love your daily inspiration but maybe some more webdesign related content / tutorials?
I've seen some truly amazing desings here at Abduzeedo..
Everyday i come look for inspiration and leave satisfied...
But what I wonder is..
What about the users here at Abduzeedo?
I am convinced you can find some real talent among'em.
I think it would be interesting to see more of their work.
Randomly pick a user and put him/her/it in the spotlight.
What, how, when, why do they design...maybe in a weekly topic?
Hell, I don't know,, I just want that book!
Oh, yeah more design-"battles" would be nice too..like the wallpaper battles were cool (except for the fact that the motion grpahic designers didn't get a chance to show their skills)
Whatever, it's all good...even if you start posting toiletpaper desings I'd still come look for inpsiration over here.
Thanks
I`d like to see design trends, trends in colour schemes, typography and illustrations...
Love this site <3
I would love to see more tutorials for both photoshop and illustrator!
As a graphic design student, I am all about good design blogs. I check daily on yours along with a couple others such as smashing, vandelay, and iso50.
There are also a log of posts that I skip and don't read. The ones that get my attention and that I would want to see more is the kind that connects with other graphic designers and students. Usually, I remember the posts that are self reflections and advice from designers themselves. Videos interviews of them giving advice to how to better ourselves. Connecting with posts are what keep me coming back because I am learning something that no one can teach. The most vital things that I have learned so far have been advice from professors, other designers, and watching personal videos from designers.
Also, I think another thing to post more on is not design, but all the little things you have to do outside of the computer. Things like ideas on how to rid creative block, books and book reviews, hardware, workspaces, and just overall ways to improve workflow and productivity.
One of my personal projects this semester that I chose to do is to construct and lay out a book revolving around workspaces. My concept is that workspaces have so much impact on your workflow and productivity. All things matter such as table, wall color, brands of pen, chairs, plants, even desk height. None of this stuff is design itself but aids to being a better designer I think. I would love to win the book because I am starting to collect good books but as a student and a designer...I am broke and starving.

I actually never had seen the glitch art as an art. This book attract me a lot, really. I would love the know and study this different type of art, and this book can help me :) So...
The answer is easy: everything that you can't find anywhere else;) everyone has tutorials to do that kind of text effect in photoshop or that vector thing in Illustrator, but when you see the photo manipulation pros you want to know the "secrets". Having step by step in depth how-to to master any of the software that would be kick ass!
I would to see more about the user interface design, articles that talks about the graphic design versus web design + some new bright ideas of inspirations :D
Thx for this giveaway
Patrice
First of all thank you for the opportunity. This book can be of great inspiration, we have to understand that not every error has to be taken as a mistake, sometimes (and I would like to say ALWAYS!) this is just a plus for us, is like a secret message that the "error" wants to give us, so? we just have to accept it.
Now, Abduzeedo is great for what it is, however I saw in a comment someone asking for the Video of the Week thread, and its true, where did you leave it? that was a great thread. Also, more tutorials would be great! I know that posting tutorials constantly is hard but is always nice to open abduzeedo's site and see that you are receiving us with a nice tutorial.
Once again, thank you very much for the opportunity.
Dante.
i'd like case studies and tutorials, basically for the application.
Daily inspiration is good too, when the creativity is gone and the time is out.
I love your site and visit it on a near daily basis. I really appreciate how varied your content is (3d, illustration, design, web, print, motion, etc).
I especially enjoy your daily inspiration, featured artists, and tutorials.
The one thing I have not yet seen a great deal of is generative art (code / logic based works). It would awesome to see more works from Ben Fry and Casey Reas (the creators of processing), Robert Hodgin (Flight 404), Aaron Koblin, and Toxi (aka: Karsten Schmidt of PostSpectacular) to name a few.
Thanks
-e
Id love to see some more typographic based design (not Logos), but apart from that i love you site, nice work.
id love to see more vector based inspiration/tutorials and more tutorials in general. Maybe more product design also
Would love to see a bit more work from brazilian artist. I know there is a great talent pool of artist there and well would love to to see a bit more of them showcased like yourself.
Keep up the great work!!
I'm loving the current format But! ... I would love to see from time to time some articles with the author's design philosophy, personal opinions about design styles / the future of designing, maybe even some showcases of different drafts and experimentations.
I know this isn't a forum, but since we're right in the "2.0" era, it would be interesting to have the community participate even more: open letters, discussions, debates, live video-cast with an upcoming designer maybe ?
Design interface / ergonomics philosophy, I DEMAND BIASED AUTHOR OPINIONS !
We're all designers / design students / interested in design, I'm sure someone's ramblings and bitching can help us progress in our design and be better designers.
I would like more posts about Type and Fonts!!!!!!
Industry reviews on top profile designers would be cool. Maybe theme weeks i.e.Vector week, photo week, PSD week, KIller sites week. These are some of my ideas.
As always keep up the great work. You help inspire us all.
Cheers.
I think you should put a post for the future forecast for web design trends in 2010.
p.s. love the site! just found it!
I'd really like to see more architecture features. I'm a graphic designer and I love art that comes from all sorts of different sources. We all seem to be inspired by different things and the lines that are created by modern buildings just amaze me.
I love you abduzeedo. i wish we could have more intimate time together, but baby pleeeeeease give me more posts on graffiti and street art. there might be a massage in it for you.
photographers
I'd definitely like to see some tutorials for designing logos. I feel like coming up with a corporate identity is something all professional designers should have a feel for.
i like to see design related to skateboard and street art too and tutorial about handicrafts or design like that not only in pc
I daily look at Abduzeedo, it's like an ispirational drug! What I'd like more? Well, maybe I'd like if there was more tutorials about photo retouching...
And of course, thank you for everything and for this giveaway!
Love this kind of work.
I'd like to see open discussions between artists and designers giving their opinions on certain topics, trends, etc. Less of an interview and more of a roundtable.
More typography please.
Hey nice book !
I think I would love to see more tutorials about webdesign
Great book idea!!
I think it would be cool to see some great examples of publications, and printed works to give inspiration to those of us in the print world and who are constantly tasked with livening up boring corporate documents and publications :)
Thanks for all the inspiration up until now abduzeedo!
I'd love to read more about design books (reviews) and product design (great packaging).
Brand identity development case studies....it is still the most fascinating topics. like to see more on them.

I think you should post more on creativity, innovation and creation. A part from your inspirational art perhaps complement with inspiring articles and texts to read. :)
lot of comments today ;-)
I would like to see more on workflow.
Also I liked the yesterday post about Illustrative in Berlin very much, so posts about good design exhibitions would be nice too. I am going next week :-), thx for the inspiration.
And some good old school drawings would be nice to see also.
Thx abduzeedo!
I wouldn't mind seeing more posts on packaging. whether it's cds, dvds, products, stationary etc.
I wouldn't mind seeing more posts on packaging. whether it's music, dvds, products, etc.
I like your daily inspirations and just about everything you post.
Maybe some photoshop/illustrator tutorials or a tutorial by the artist......explanation how he/she achives that certain style or effect.
Keep up the good work!
Like to see more of Brand Identity development case studies....
I really love Abduzeedo. I check in almost every day for inspiration, and I love your tutorials and showcases.
I would like to see more case studies, more complex tutorials, and more typography.
Thank you so much for all this great inspiration! I'm always waiting for more!
I have to say, I do like this blog a lot. Daily Inspirations are great and I read also a few really nice Interviews of Designers like the article "Inside the Studio of Hand Made Font".
What I am searching for right now is getting an insight of other peoples design workflows.
Oh yeah and I love books - it's always nice to see and the "Designer Book Shelf" that at every article so far, I had at least one of the books..
Nice idea for a book, wish I thought of it!
A bit of industrial design, and print treatments would be nice to see on the site
I look mostly for inspiration at abduzeedo. And for free awesome books :)
I'd love to see more typography posts and more case studies :)
Please more Illustrator tuts: Icon tuts, logo tuts. Fireworks: Web layout tut. Photoshop: advertise tuts: watch, cd cover, surreal photomanip, car, perfume advertise, retouch photo for magazine cover, text effect.
Hi,
I concider abudeezo already a place filled with a lot of inspiration!
Great articles, but most of them are about digital imaging or web portfolio's. I would like to see more on new artists that express themselves not only digitaly but also in the real world. With galleries or other live arts projects. I think the link between digital and non digital is another step out of the box when looking for new inspiration. :)
Ramin
I would like to see more editorial design posts, preferably magazine design. But I´m interested in print in general!
Abduzeedo is a big source of inspiration, one of the most complete if it comes to graphics to my idea.
I would suggest more mixed-media tuts & articles, 3D and typography.
Oh..., and more giveaway's, always appreciate free stuff.
Thanx and keep up the good work.
I would love to see more tutorials about normal webdesign like boxes, headers, color for web, thoughts behind a design, fonts in combination with design, and other elements that you use / apply to a standard webpage.
I would love to see more tutorials!
I'd like to see some more photography. Get insights from the photographer and maybe some more experimental work.
Hey i would like to see some detalied photo effects.
Thanks
Yeah its really good site for every day learning
I'm a big F1 fan so..
I would love to see subjects about Formula 1, from photography to illustrations, from drivers to F1 personalities.
Congratulations to Jenson Button for winning the 09 WDC.
I do hope i win!
hy there i would like to read posts about web and print design. dimensions, resolutions, standards :)
Would love to see something about usage of colors..
How they affect us.
I come to Abduzeedo mainly to get new ideas and inspiration. The daily posts are very useful for this and one of the first things I do every morning (after getting coffee ;)) is check out what the new Daily Inspiration has to offer me.
As to new content? I highly enjoy the book review topic, so more of those, perhaps more indepth would be welcome. As to completely new things; perhaps some ventures into the wonderful world of designer toys etc. I find designer toys such as Dunny's, Teddy Troops and more unique things to be highly inspirational personally.
More typography oriented subjects, like showcases, free fresh fonts or even non-free fonts, articles handling about typography in webdesign considering trends from the past and the future.
For me I look foreward to the tutorials and the case studies. Both of them help me in my own creative process.
I really like photoshop tips and short tutorials, or even better Pixelmator tuts...
being a newbie I greatly appreciate case studies, suggestions and tutorials, and I would welcome any issue on graphics and perception, and great infographics examples, maybe with explanations.
Would like to see some corel tutorials.
congrats on the site by the way
I want some articles on how to advertise or just get the word out about your website or your work on the internet and or in the real world. I think this would be beneficial to the many designers on here.
I'd like to see more about motion graphics =)
*I really enjoy the daily inspiration*
I'd love to see more case study posting, Yeah.
I would like you all to post less about trends and fads and more about the staples of design. I see ALOT of replicated work online and it seems to be due to amateurs that are just re-creating other designers work rather than being original. It could be due to the MASSIVE amount of tutorial websites, but maybe if these amateurs got to read about what makes design what it is, they would be able to create original pieces of work rather than duplicating...
I would like to see more motion design find its way on to your lovely page!
I would love to see more colour and shape theory used in abstract geometric design. Clean and inspirational typography is also good!
More photography. (maybe leaning towards skateboard and snowboarding? I know I've seen them before but few and very far between.)
I would love to see more typography posts!
The daily inspiration is great to kick start some inspiration when i am lacking it...
What I like most about your site is the tuts, i have found myself trying things that i would never normally think of attempting in Ps and Ai.
I would like to see more tuts and more interviews. Great site, cheers
I always like to see the daily inspiration and sites of the week.
Love to see some more about photography and portfolios of other photographers. Different techniques and interviews would be great!
Besides that typography is also an interesting subject.
I'd love to see more experimental design, mainly talking about new (or old, depends on the point of view) ways of making graphic design, a journey back in the tradition, where the real design was made by real objects, layers, tangible stuff, more than just a vector and a grid in inDesign.
This site is the only one I check everyday -- it's an absolute wealth of inspiration!
I agree that more case studies would be fantastic -- seeing something go from idea to execution.
Case studies are neat because you can identify with the problem's the designer encounters, and think about how you may have solved the issue, etc etc.
Some Motion Design work and Interviews with designers, photographers, etc
I'd love to see how more of these artists work behind the scenes. Studios, work setups, etc. Thanks!
more vector work would be cool, big fan of the site and I'd love to see more crazy new techniques with vector art.
Thanks
id like to see more character design, or even papertoys, love 'em
I really like the case studies.
More CSS-Beautys
i would'd like to see something about all prehispanic artwork, or maybe something about "dia de muertos" in Mexico, i think there is an intresting aproach to skulls, and illustrating skulls in a colorful and cheerful manner.
Congrats to abduzeedo, i't is a must see in my everyday web browsing
I'd love to see a more personalized view of the designers/artists creative process and perception of the world by featuring an artists visual journal/notebook regularly.
More case studies!
Post more tutorials, but no for hard things like big illustrations, Just tips on Ai, PSD and other programs people might use.
Also more photos from regular people and from some no so regular and please HDPhoto. n
what i would like to see more Motion Graphic's also i would like to see more design done with Processing.
I love the step-by-step creations you have sometimes, and I often feel like I'm learning more from them than from a tutorial, as they give an idea about workflow and concept more than about "how it is technically done".
Also I enjoy the website showcases of abduzeedo a lot, you always show greatly designed websites I didn't come across yet.
Something I have rarely seen online, and what would be a great addition to this blog, is getting such approaches on website design and layouting (Even maybe on print work). This should be easier to produce than detailed tutorial, and it would be very interesting to see how talented webdesigners approach their work.
Just a simple case study of how the design process evolved, how things have been placed and tweaked, how the CI was implemented in the site, and why it was done that way. I think I'm not the only one who would find this highly interesting, and afaik there aren't much blogs out there providing something like that.
I'd like to see more about unusual methods of navigation, like www.andreaslutz.com/
I would like to see a list of type design processes. In other words basically a showcase of type designers as well as their process of design.
Or a showcase of specialty printing processes. Foils, de-bossing, varnishes and the like.
I love the daily inspirations. This is one of my favorite design blogs that I check out daily.
I would love to see more print design inspiration and good examples of corporate design (annual reports, corporate brochures, proposals etc.)
I would like to see more motion work case study and also infographic/data visualization pieces.
Thanks!
i realy would like to see a post about composition in graphic design.
Would love to see more photography.
More tutorials, I love the tutorials section!
Colaborative projects
Coding tutorials for web and app designs! Thanks.
Hi, It would be cool if you could post something about generative algorithmic art
awesome
Hi, It would be cool if you could post something about generative algorithmic art
I'm pretty satisfied with the type of content being posted now, But I would like to see more posts on inspirational websites rather than the normal graphic design and photography inspiration posted.
My favorite posts are illustration round-ups - the Old West and Marvel characters posts spring to mind. I also really enjoy interviews, so would love to see more of those!
I'm working in creative agency. Sometimes we need a very fresh ideas. That book will be excellent to our office. :)
www.yoho.pl
Eu gosto muito quando rola tutorial, case study tambem é bom... gosto tambem do daily inspiration... do sites of the week... po, eu gosto de tudo!
:)
Love most everything Abduzeedo publishes.
Am a graphic/web designer, so would like to see more tutorials that focused on recreating an outstanding element from an outstanding website. In other words, pick a killer site, define what makes it a killer site, and then reproduce the basic elements (with your unique Abduzeedo flair), including the code.
Keep on rockin'
Tutoriais/testes sobre CSS 3 =)
Nice book.. Great site btw, my daily stop for coffee table inspiration.. The interview section is great, very encouraging.. In my opinion it can do more with some clever tutorials combining multiple mediums rather a single software or technique.
great job to site admins for keeping it fresh and lively everyday..
I like the themed collection articles; So far we've seen Zombies, Pirates and the TV show House. Maybe something like cartoon characters or futuristic soldiers next? Also something about art Deco would be interesting.
i think that we should have some more posts on actual 3D artwork its always something different than the usual and brings a peice another dimension,
i also think that we could also have some posts on current interesting exhibitions going on around the world.
Thanks
i would love to see what you think about artist Zak Smith. one of my personal favorites. some good old paint and canvas.
I would really like to see a post about current trends in brazillian design, since you are brazillian and there is so much respect from creative work coming from our country.
the (almost)always ignored theme: fashion
I'd like to read more about color management tips and tools... I find this topic very rare around the web.
I'd like to see more glitch related stuff.
I would like to see more photoshop tutorials. like achieving different effects without making them look overly fake or poorly done.
