The World Collabs #1 - with Rik Oostenbroek

April 30, 2010 from aloa's blog

Abduzeedo takes pride in being one of the worlds leading design blogs. Having interviewed a bulk of the most infamous creative geniuses, we want to use our potential to introduce a new star on the Abduzeedo stage …YOU.

Today we introduce The World Collabs. Our new cutting edge Abduzeedo collaboration project, which will give you the possibility to collaborate and compete with the worlds leading designers and artists.

What is "The World Collabs"?

"The World Collabs" will give you the possibility to work with PSD files of established artists. TWC gives you a secret in-view in the workflow of the stars and catapults you miles forward in your journey to design heaven. This way you learn to practice with different shapes, backgrounds, patterns brushes and new styles.

Every month we will offer you an unfinished piece of an experienced and accredited graphic designer to the world.

The piece will be unfinished, so you can complete the PSD-file with your very own style. This way every month you can collaborate with the best designers of the world. The final pieces will be judged by the Abduzeedo Team and the artist himself. The three best works will be rewarded with prizes.

Prize

  1. 1. $ 100 (send via PayPal) & an approval for an original collaboration with Rik Oostenbroek
  2. 2. A Single Version of image editing program Pixelmator (worth 59 $)
  3. 3. A Copy of the Logo Book "Lords of Logos" (worth 55 $)

Artist of April: Rik Oostenbroek

I am very proud to present the artists for our first Collaboration post: Rik Oostenbroek. Yet only 20 years old, he is one of the most talented upcoming artists. His ability to create awesome shapes and colors is enormous but still a secret to us. He just updated his portfolio with some incredible pieces.

RAWZ Logo Design Process
 RAWZ Logo Design Process
We over at Abduzeedo always think in ways to find great inspiration to be featured on the blog as well as help people to promote their work. It's quite hard sometimes to curate the amout of work we receive via email and social network links. That was the context that we had in mind when we created RAWZ. We wanted a simple way for people share their work and inspiration with us, it would be a raw version of Abduzeedo. No curation.

 Book Suggestion: Visual Complexity - Mapping Patterns of Information
The book of this week is a book I just got from a friend. It was in my wish list for a long time. The book is called Visual Complexity: Mapping Patterns of Information and as the reviews says, it's about our ability to generate information now far exceeds our capacity to understand it.
