I have been digging the work of Martin Naumann and have been enjoying the abstract experiments that we have featured on abdz. Here's to another titled 'Osmosis' which is a series of personal experiments using Filter Forge. I will be honest, this is the first time I have heard of this tool.
Kaio Cezar and Ariel Santos shared a branding and visual identity project for Tera, a law practice that focuses on providing legal advice and executing compliance and corporate governance in order to promote a culture of integrity and ethics in government and business.
AZ Studio is a digital agency focused on web design based in Russia. They created a beautiful website to showcase their work. It was built using Tilda + code modifications.

Heading back to school (insert prayer emoji here) and lamenting convenient and healthy options that don’t leave you cookie-cutting animal sandwiches and prepping ants on a log just to ensure your child actually eats something?
We have been seeing more and more related news to crypto, blockchain, DeFi, and beyond. How about Fintech? Well yes, it's still part of the conversations and we have been seeing a shift for some time now of more products into the financial services merging into technology. The world is advancing at a faster rate and be different is now part of the process as well.
We have featured the work of Deep Yellow before on abdz. They are a design studio based in Pristina, Kosovo specializing in visual identities, brand, packaging, and motion. They have shared this massive collection of 3D art and deep shapes for our inspiration titled: 'Deepshape Series'.
The fine folks from Tubik Studio have shared a web design project for Synthesized, a DataOps Platform. Synthesized promotes collaboration between sensitive data for growth and innovation. I particularly love their work on branding where dealing with 'sensitive' in other words 'boring' to transform it into a dynamic brand direction.
BAOV chen shared a beautiful 3D project using Blender. From the description it seems that after learning about a model made in Blender, BAOV started trying to recreate the style by rearranging shape and topology. After that BAOV made some renderings of the effects and what we see here today is that. Quite inspiring.
Capturing the feeling of a period in time, or a decade is not as easy as you might think. Romain Billaud succeeds where some, including me, have failed. He totally deserves the Designer Spotlight.
Escuro in Portuguese means dark, blackish or closer to black than white., Escuro is also the name of the new set of Lightroom CC presets created with the intent of turning photos of ocean water in its various states into a minimalistic image. Photography has always been a hobby and a passion for me.
Good design for me is all about simplicity. I know that term can be interpreted in so many different ways. For me at the top of the list is simplicity of the function, most inevitably that will result in the reduction of the form.
The global pandemic has upended our work life by altering how and where we do our jobs.

We have featured Huston Wilson in the past but there’s always more inspiring work to share. For this post we’d love to feature some typography explorations that Huston has shared over the years. I am a fan of the style, the textures and colors in addition to the flawless compositions.

Kirill Kim shared a quite beautiful web design and UI/UX project. There’s not much information about the project created for Decoroom, however the vignettes shared highlight the minimal look, the elegant use of photography and typography with one of my favorite typefaces, Inter.
I stumbled across this series of 'brutalist-inspired' posters of Hong Kong and thought it would be a great fit for a feature on abdz. With the shades of blue, red, white, and lots of textures. We are following illustrations of several iconic and controversial modernist architectural pieces in Hong Kong, built between 1950s and 1980s.
