How is your situation in 'confinement'? Is the place you live in still in lockdown? I think will never go back to what we used to think as 'ordinary' or even 'normal'. We will have to get used to newer ways of living and having the right precautions if needed.

Internal Reflection: personal experiments on Cinema 4D

cinema 4D

Being a product designer, I sometimes miss the 'good old days' of graphic design where there were almost 'no boundaries'. Except for when you needed to send something to the print shop, those were the days. It was pure freedom, this is how I envision the folks using Cinema 4D. Pure creative freedom! Speaking of that, we are featuring this series by titled: 'Internal Reflection'.

Cinematic Street Photography by Victor Cambet

Victor Cambet is a freelance graphic designer and an amazing photographer currently based in Montreal, QC. What initially caught my eyes on Victor's work is his perspective of how he sees things through his camera lenses. It's pure, raw, and cinematic street photography. That's one of the reasons why we decided to feature his work on ABDZ.

My Nostalgia is back with Streets of Rage 4

video-games

I grew up playing video games. My first console was the Atari 2600. The games were quite primitive, literally a few pixels on the screen moving. Remember, that was the 80s. In the 90s my brother and I got the Sega Mega-Drive (Genesis in US). It was a massive improvement in graphics. A 16bit console, whoah! There are incredible games, however the one that marked was Streets of Rage.

NATGEO KIDS Branding Redesign Proposal

Negro Studio  got a call from their friends at PLENTY to work with them on some proposals for NATGEO kids branding (rebranding). I cannot imagine the excitement that receiving a call like that might have been. For me National Geographic is one of those iconic brands. The yellow rectangle is so simple, yet recognized everywhere.

I think we have mentioned it multiple times on the blog. I think we are currently living during a time that will make us appreciate little moments and make us see things differently for the rest of our lives. Things that we used to take for granted are no longer a thing and our habits have changed.

Righteous - Free Hand Drawn Script Font

Typography

Friday used to be the day we posted one of our most popular series about typography, the Friday Free Fonts. That was years ago, before Google Fonts and Adobe Fonts became widely available. Our passion for fonts have not ended just because we stopped sharing. We just need to find the right one to share. That is Righteous.
