Super Creative DIY Doodles

PauloGabriel — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 03:00:33 +0000

I've been seeing these in the web for some time now. David Jablow has come up with a super simple, yet awesome project called "Do it yourself Doodler", in which he takes an original, incomplete doodle and starts to make many doodles from it.

These are a great example of how a person might practice their drawing skills. Do it yourself too! I bet that doing something like David will get your creativity right on date. To get to know more of his project, you may visit the project site, or check out his flickrstream for more of his great doodles! I hope you enjoy these. Chees! ;)

As a creative person there are plenty possibilities to train and express your creativity. But not only online.
People who used to draw a lot often find other objects to paint on that just paper, like walls, trees, doors and eggs as in this article

82 Clever and Creative Fred & Friends Products

amanda — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 11:30:08 +0000

I'm sure you've come across Fred & Friend products before at your local indie store and might not have even known it. Last weekend I was cruising around town and stopped at an indie store only to find one whole corner of the place dedicated to Fred & Friend products. It was heavenly. I stood there for probably more than a half hour laughing and checking out all their cool stuff.

A lot of creativity goes into the making of these products, and I think part of that cleverness is shown in the name of the product and the slogan. It's really a hoot flipping through their catalog and I often find myself posing the question: "How in heavens name did they think of that?". Check out this collection I compiled for you guys today and you'll probably find yourself asking the same question.

Which one's your favorite? Tell us in the comments below! And you can also drop me a line on twitter or facebook! I'd love to hear from you! Enjoy :)

aloa — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 13:41:16 +0000

Preorder-price: 2,499$

ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS4

Because we here on Abduzeedo give you design Inspiration i'll show you some new features from Photoshop CS4. This is how it looks like. For the first time there will be two Photoshop versions (beside Photoshop Lightroom 2).

The first one is the real Photoshop, with some great new features for 699 $.
The second version will be the Photoshop Extended version and it will cost 999 $.

As Adobe sais, the extended version is a greater programm for people who work with film and video and also for motion graphics. You now have the possibility of Breakthrough 3D editing and compositing capabilities and improved video controls to dramatically expand your creative options. Also you now can live move (via drag and drop) the psd to Adobe After Effects.

But don't worry. The usualy Photoshop CS4 will also kick asses. It now has a better Adjustment panel which allow the user manage the very easy.
Also there is a new Mask panel. It allows you to quickly create and edit masks. This panel offers all the tools you need to create editable pixel- and vector-based masks, adjust mask density and feathering, easily select noncontiguous objects, and more.

And now comes my favourite new feature: It is called the Content Aware Scaling. Below you see two pictures. The first one is our picture we shot at the beach (picture 1). But we want to make it more wide. So the only way to do this is to transform it and scale it as wide as we like. But this will affect a lower quality of that picture.

The new Photshop makes this much more better. It automatically fills the spare parts with parts from inside that picture (picture 2) so that it looks like we made it more wide. Awesome right?

ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR CS4

Of course there will also be a new Illustrator CS4 version, which will be sold for 599 $.

Illustrator created a new tool called the Blob Brush. Drawing with this brush will create a clean vector shape even when strokes overlap.

The greatest feature is the new artboard. You can now create a file with up 100 artboards independent, which sizes they have. Finished files can now be saved together. Preview:

For more information please visit the Adobe website where you can watch the new features of Photoshop , Illustrator or the other CS4 Products.
