Every new year I like to try new things with the Abduzeedo logo. In 2009 I changed the typography a little bit, but now that it's 2010 I decided that the blog needed a symbol. That necessity came up when we are finishing the Abduzeedo iPhone app and we needed to have an icon.
So in this tutorial/case study I will show you how I created the symbol and what the inspiration behind it was. We will use Adobe Illustrator for the tutorial
The wallpaper of this week is a really cool image created by Tom Lane, the guy behind Ginger Monkey. We have already featured him and his work here on Abduzeedo, and as he has just updated his portfolio he sent to us this beautiful wallpaper so we could share with the design community. Also we have added the iPad version to be downloaded.
For more information visit the Ginger Monkey website, it's definitely worth it.
The book suggestion of the week is one of my favorites, it's called Typology: Type Design From Victorian Era to the Digital Age and it covers a lot of art history always linking with types and typography. It's a must read for those starting out their careers or even willing to dust off their typology and typography skills.
