This summer, global warming seems to be affecting all parts of the world simultaneously.

It's been quite a long while since my last 'Raw Design Inspiration'. The concept of this inspiration roundup is basically 'No theme', absolutely 'raw' inspiration. Being an abdz., inspiration is one of the biggest fuels in my everyday life. Whatever it is for life and work balance, it comes in many shapes and forms. For me, I do appreciate a good surf on Dribbble.

Artur Szygulski shared a beautiful set of 3D typography work created in Blender 3D, my favorite 3D tool. The inspiration behind the 3D alphabet was nature and concrete, or as the title refers to, Concrete vs Nature.

Eduardo León is a graphic designer and illustrator from Mexico, Mexico. He shares a series of illustrations that really caught my eye in terms of style, concepts, and purely its execution. The results are really cool, they remind me of a series of characters from a game or an anime series. What do you think?

Prateek Vatash is back with another 'pure awesomeness' illustration series that needed some love on abdz. We have featured his work before and it never ceases to amaze.

We are featuring a graphic design student based in Nijmegen, Netherlands, hello to Jerry-Lee Bosmans and his poster design challenge series simply titled: 'Printmaking Challenge' published via Behance. First of all, a graphic design student? These are great!

Summer is slowly fading into the season of fall, the weather is getting somehow colder, the mornings are more chill. As we are welcoming a new term, we also embrace the 'rain'. Whenever I think about rain, it constantly brings back these scenes from the 'Blade Runner' movies.

Roman Bratschi shared a quite intricate and, of course, beautiful 3D project titled Digital Rohrshach, which is inspired by The Rorschach test, a psychological test in which subjects' perceptions of inkblots are recorded and then analyzed using psychological interpretation, complex algorithms, or both.

Cheolhong Kim shared a beautiful typography project featuring  a set of typographic artworks using CK font. This font is based on the shape of my logo"CK". This is still an on-going project and the same series of artworks will be published in the future by Cheolhong. 

Kaio Cezar, Felipe Borba, and Lucas Souza shared a super creative and elegant branding and visual identity for Calme. From addictive medications to simple massages that are just simple human contact.

It's been quite some time we haven't posted about NFTs on abdz. And yet it's still buzzing on Twitter as usual so I decided to give it another stab at it. I stumbled across the work of Kaiwan Shaban, a visual artist, photographer, and filmmaker based in Berlin, Germany.

As Hurricane Ida crashes into the Louisiana coastline with climate change lurking behind her intensity we felt timely to share a visually stunning, hand-painted look at the impact of the climate crisis on our most precious coastal communities by authors

Today was the first day back to school for students in Switzerland. It somehow reminds me of Japan because of how orderly, and structured was the students welcoming. I stumbled across the work of Minaminani Take who is an illustrator. based in Japan. She illustrates what I would call 'Life scenes', probably things that we would see across the world.

I feel like featuring a 5-year-old project by the incredible folks from Anagrama Studio, a design studio based in Mexico City, Mexico.
