I wanted to shift our inspiration and share about the work of kickass designers who are always re-inventing themselves. Let's take the portfolio for example. As designers, we all somehow wanted to keep our portfolio up-to-date and know how busy we are with work, life and etc. We also follow some kind of formula on how to present our work if you think about a typical UX case study.

Van Chiang shared a branding, visual identity and web design project for Mobvista, a leading technology platform dedicated to driving global business growth in the digital age.

Sophie Gogishvili shared a super inspiring graphic design project that explores a grid system. As Sophie describes, the project is better fitted to find a solution to the design problems which is functional, logical and also more aesthetically pleasing.

Let's kick it off with 3D personal experiments of fabric made by the mighty Roman Bratschi, a 3D designer based in Switzerland. Roman is not new to abdz, we have been loving to feature his work over and over again. With his series titled 'Fun with Fabrics', we follow Roman's continuation of this craft using Cinema 4D, Houdini, Octane, and Photoshop.

Hrvoje Grubisic shared a beautiful web design project featuring a crisp and classic typographical look. If you look at it very closely you will understand why I love it. It does remind me of some of the screens of the blog, but Hrvoje definitely did a much better job than I did here.

Tony Babel is a multidisciplinary designer, animator and illustrator specialized in rich animations for digital products. With a portfolio full of very inspiring motion design work. I am a huge fan of the Vintage Loops series but I wanted to share this series of random loops with you, just hilarious.

VELKRO shared a personal project highlighting their graphic design, editorial design and typography skills titled “Paper Work”. As they describe it: Red square on a blue triangle. Yellow circle over a grey rectangle. Paperwork is an alphabet book consisting of 36 hand-made creative and artistic booklets of tear-out papers.

We started the designer spotlight to promote designers across the globe. Times are definitely changing, we all live in a pandemic and hopefully soon a post-pandemic reality. Economically things will be difficult initially but eventually things will get better. I know this sounds super grim, but in order to help everyone to spread the word about their work.

NFTs are currently exploding! Most of our social feeds have been since submerged with so many digital works that it's getting hard to keep track of it all. Most of them are honestly brilliant, stunning, meaningful, and some others...well, that's why we are here! From the Abduzeedo Twitter account, here are some of the NFTs that caught our eyes this week.

Hawk is a new brand of Skateboard, which has a BIG purpose. Equality and freedom are the two words that represent Hawk. The brand is for those who do not carry prejudice, but also for those who believe in freedom of expression, of being.

Jindrich Novak shared a series of colorful 3D compositions titled RND. There’s not much information about the goals or reasons for doing them. It seems to be focused on exploring gradients, colors and light using Houdini. 

KOREA. It's pretty much taking over our lives lately with many incredible TV shows, music, language learning, and more. I think it's really great to make us get out of our comfort zones and just explore.

I think we all have seen at least once a clip or an episode of Astro Boy, a series from the 1950s that has been reprised a couple of times. What's great about these incarnations, they always tried to keep the essence of Astro Boy. Which is a science fiction series set in a future world where robots co-exist with humans.

At Adobe MAX, there are also cool announcements to your favorites Adobe products. Let's go with what's coming to Lightroom & Lightroom Classic.

Adobe MAX is back and it's packed with many cool announcements to your favorites Adobe products. We were very fortunate enough to be part of the communications and the new updates coming to Adobe Photoshop really caught my attention. Photoshop has been part of my toolset for more than a decade and it's always great to see the new features.

For some inexplicable reason, besides, my lack of attention, I missed this really awesome web design and editorial content website project that Rolf Jensen and Daniel Spacek. Created for Cotton in New York. They refer to the work as a  quick little project called Check The Label.

The amazing people over at Abstract Logic shared a really inspiring branding and visual identity project for Dope International, a music group and art company supporting work of high quality , integrity, and individuality. The work that Abstract did is  very thorough.

I have been quite inspired by how light reflects and refracts lights and objects creating quite stunning visual effects. For this post I bring this project designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro , The Tide includes a network of parks and spaces along a flowing pathway that follows the Thames.

Calvin Sprague shared a 3D project using Blender, Octane, Adobe Illustrator & Photoshop for Botanical Glassworks. The project is a selection of personal works experimenting with flat illustrated botanical shapes transformed into a three-dimensional space.
