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 from Max Spencer, a UK based freelance illustrator and graphic designer currently living in Falmouth. He sent us this very cool design her did for Requiem, one of the depthCORE chapters.
Max has, also, updated his website and portfolio with some awesome designs. We highly recommend that you check it out at http://www.monostation.co.uk/.
The book suggestion of this week is about typography and it is an essential book for those starting out their design career or interested in learning the elements of this trade. The Elements of Typographic Style is the perfect book to start 2012 improving your design skills :)
