Street Photography on Instagram by @brianwillette

Needless to say I'm a big fan of street photography and instagram is the place where all the street photographers are getting their recognition and building their followers. Brian Willette is a photographer from Chicago and today I selected some of his awesome instagram photos to show you.

Wallpaper of the Week - Bokeh

It's the holidays, at least for some. I am one of those and to get into the spirit I have been playing with some ideas for my desktop wallpaper. This time I decided to take a real photo and do just a few color adjustments in Photoshop.

ABDZ 07 Playing with Shades - Photoshop Tutorial

tutorial

Back to my image a week after a short vacation, much needed. I have also been spending my time with the new Abduzeedo which is looking much sleeker and soon will be going live. This week I decided to recreate an effect I saw a couple of weeks ago and I saved the screenshot because I thought it would be awesome to know how to do it.

ABDZ 06 Strokes and Paths - Photoshop Tutorial

tutorial

Week 6 and here we go again. This morning while I was looking for some references or inspiration on what to do I saw a post on Instagram from the Street League, it's the league of street skateboarders. I loved the logo and decided to try to create something with the same style in Illustrator to learn how to do that. After that I just went to Photoshop to add some flare.

Playing with Fire - Photoshop Tutorials

Week five and another image is done. This time I went back in time and attempted a recreation of those crazy light effects I used to do in Photoshop back in 2006-2009. The main reason I wanted to do this was that I found out that with the new version of Photoshop we can now apply multiple layer styles, like multiple gradients, shadows, and inner shadows.

Windows 10 Wallpaper - Photoshop Tutorial

photoshop

Another week and another image to be done and of course another Photoshop tutorial. The most difficult part is finding the inspiration point, this time, however, I knew exactly what my mission would be. This week's image is my attempt at recreating the beautiful Windows 10 wallpaper created by GMUNK.

More Lines - Illustrator and Photoshop Tutorials

tutorial

Let's go again. Third week and third image. I am taking my Sunday night to try to come up with something. I had forgotten how hard it is to start a new image from scratch. I must start paying more attention to movies and books so I can have more inspiration. For this week I tried to recreate a really cool shape I saw on Pinterest sometime ago that was about some hipster badges.

ABDZ 002: Playing with Strokes Illustrator Tutorial

tutorial

The second week of my little project of trying to create an image per week. This time I got inspired by simple vector illustrations I saw that had lines creating the logo. I've done something like this in the past but never with the style that I played with this week, completely out of my comfort zone.

ABDZ 001 - Illustrator and Photoshop Tutorial

tutorial

In the past year, I stopped writing tutorials and the main reason was that I thought they weren't relevant anymore given the copious amount of great websites out there. Also, I believe the audience of the blog has already matured and focused more on other areas of the design process such as ideations and the process itself.

I have been working designing interfaces for the web for over 15 years and for the past couple of years I have seen the switch to native apps being a big shift in the industry. I am a huge fan of the web but it's important to keep up with the industry.

80s Artwork Photoshop Tutorial

tutorial

This weekend I took 30 minutes of my time to watch Kung Fury. What a masterpiece! It's a true homage to the 80s actions movies full of the cliche styles that made that era the most creative and visually rich in my opinion. After watching the movie I had to go back and dust off my Photoshop skills to create something inspired by that.

USA Cities Animated

Today I want to share some really cool illustrations but they are not just beautiful, they are also animated. The work was done by Latham Arnott and Kirk Wallace. What caught my attention was the style with thicker strokes and simplicity of the form.

Playing with Lines Photoshop Tutorial

The last tutorial I wrote was back in January; it's been quite a long time and boy I missed it. I have been trying to organize myself to start playing more with not only Photoshop and Illustrator but also Sketch and other tools so I can share some new things with you.

Abduzeedo Material Design

design process

This weekend I started working on an Android mobile version of the site using the Material Design spec. The style-guide is super complete and covers a lot of basic visual design needs like grid system, typography and color palettes. Besides that Google was awesome to provide sticker sheets in Photoshop, Illustrator and Sketch.
