Our good pal Denise Rashidi released her new book entitled: Daydreaming in Japan. It's not any kind of book, it's a coloring book! This book utilizes her stylish, 'pastel-ish' and detailed illustrations of the hidden backstreets of Japan.

This post is for the fortunate ones out there able to do their job safely at home while our world is uPside down. While we continue to stay optimistic on progress being made we're also going a bit batty, not unlike so many of you. It's time, we decided, for a little home "office" spruce up if we're going to maintain our productivity and sanity for the long haul.

Kaan Iscan wanted to create a new brand and visual identity that represented everyone who has been a part of Medina Turgul DDB over the past 25 years. To accomplish this, they gathered the data of over 1700 employees past and present. Some who had worked for only 1 month, some for over 10 years.

The super talented folks over at Betty + Betty shared a starkly beautiful branding for SCALE that made me jealous of the simplicity achieved.  

 We're delighted to share some good news for all the beer lovers out there from the talented creative duo Caleb Beyers and Ben Barrett-Forrest.

Pure Luxe is a daily online and biannual print magazine covering luxury lifestyle. The branding and art direction is simply beautiful and the designer behind it is Lucas Berghoef

Thanks to our friends at learning experience agency Future London Academy for sharing this great new collaboration with global artists and designers such as Studio Blup, Kezia Gabriella, Baugasm,

José Augusto Hykavy really went above and beyond with his personal brand redesign. The colors for me are simply fantastic. His goal behind this project was to not be just a symbol or monogram, but a complete and striking identity that could be recognized and applied anywhere.

Sabbath Studio is a branding studio based Monterrey, Mexico. They shared a branding project wholly inspired by Dystopian Futures, Cyberpunk, Sci-fi / Neo-noir Cult Films & Anime themed aesthetics by client request. Let's just mention that again: 'by client request'.

Neumorphism or shall we say Skeuomorphism is a hot topic in UI trends. For the past months we have been talking, debating, and even more since the release announcement of the macOS Big Sur coming this fall. Why? Because it's cool! One thing, I do like about this 'style' is the craft that goes into an icon design.

Bullpen, an independent creative studio based in NYC creating engaging content through design & animation, shared an awesome motion design project with us. Fun & Games, is a tongue in cheek look at the games we design and give our children. It's all fun & games. Until it isn't.

We’ve featured the work of the oh so creative Tatsuya Tanaka before and we’re happy to share more of his art with you in a time when we could all use a little cheer. Tatsuya is a master at taking your everyday objects and creating a whimsical miniature scene that we just can’t get over.

Aga Lut is a freelance graphic designer. To ease her mind and to relax after her commercial work, she started to illustrate.

It's Friday, happy Friday all. As a tradition to the good old days, I wanted to pay homage to fonts. More particularly to our series Friday Fresh Free Fonts, we used to publish every Friday, what we called the FFFF which were pretty popular back in the days.

Yura Park and Ching-Fa Lung shared a quite unique branding, packaging design and visual design project for Volume. Volume a portable cocktail experience.

Germán Reina Carmona shared a super stylish set of illustrations titled Ipad Comics. There is not much information about it but I really like them. From the colors to the themes. It mixes cartoon style illustrations but with a more textured look (for lack of better word). 

I love side-projects, I particularly comprehend the personal explorations that one can do to pursue to learn new things, explore new mediums or just to perfect your craft. It's not always easy with keeping a schedule, living a pandemic, going through phases of life and etc... We will always have a place for 'personal explorations' on abdz.

Nicolas Lichtle, a senior motion designer, I work in the fields of museography, documentary and animated typography at studio Mada Mada, started this film a year ago.It's not a commissioned work, it's neither fiction nor animation, the graphic style is rather singular.

Los Angeles is the opposite of our old metropolises. The sprawling multi-dimensionality is alien, and for many, gets on our nerves: the tangled network of highways and the constant driving around, the emphasized nonchalance and never ending optimism of everyone, the sunny weather, the ingenious modernist architecture, the film industry, the tourists and the shitty art museums ...
