Yuliia Lobodiuchenko is a transportation designer and illustration based in Turin, Italy. She created a series of illustrations dedicated to the most iconic, unusual and memorable cars in the automotive design history.
Dima Abrakadabra shared his submissions for the #36DaysofType and thought it should totally be featured on ABDZ. Aside from the style and the aesthetics, this series totally caught my attention because I am currently the Japanese language, more specifically the 'hiragana script' for starters.
We live in a data-driven era. Data drives the world. We talk about flattening the curve for the terrible COVID-19 pandemic, I have Analytics on ABDZ to see how the total number of visitors use the site. Data works best with massive sample sizes. It shows trends, and allows us to forecast outcomes.
You know those designs that you feel bad, not because of the poor quality but the opposite. When you question yourself, “why didn’t I think about that” or in my case “Why I suck so much”. Well, if you have these thoughts, a word of comfort, you are not alone. But brace for impact.
Back on April 24, 2015 the world was introduced to the original Apple Watch that literally changed the 'watch industry' forever. Happy 5th Birthday Apple Watch! For the occasion, one of the designers that worked on the first Apple Watch team shared a few fun facts that we took the liberty to embed it below.
Vini Naso, a visual artist from Canada shared a very interesting series titled: 'The masks we wear'. With the current moments that we are all familiar with living, I think it's fitting perfectly our 'new normal'.
Hope everyone has enjoyed their weekend. As a designer working in the universe of user interfaces, I think we all somehow had feedback on 'game interface design'. Personally, I would have feedback on everything that would involve an experience.
BÜRO UFHO shared an amazing typography project on their Behance. It’s also their contribution to the always incredible 36 Days of Type challenge. I said this many times, but this is probably one of my top 5 best 3D types published in that challenge.
The incredibly talented Nidia Dias was approached by Maxon to create this year's splash screen for their S22 release. She started by creating one 3D look/style that was further explored to different variations for different versions of the software.
Well was approached by Disruption Labs in 2018 to collaborate on a project which saw the R&D company implement patented nanotechnology into the already booming CBD sector in the US and Europe.
For some reason I forgot to share this. Probably you already saw, read it or downloaded it. For parents this is amazing. Not a parent, that's OKAY, you will definitely enjoy wasting some time. What is it?
Lucas Carrascosa shared some beautiful branding and visual design work created for Poesía Portátil, a project by Roberto & Victoria cult jewelry that arises from the encounter of two forms of expression, the word and matter, which united create a new territory: a limited, signed and numbered edition of jewellery containing 11 poems by 11 cont
The 'raw concrete' of the Web, unconventional, hard-coded, creative? In a few words, these are some of my keywords I have in mind when mentioning 'Brutalism'. If you go on Dribbble at the moment and you start surfing the first few pages, you will see what the community calls it the overall 'design trends'.
It’s Friday, the week is over. A full weekend ahead. Where to go? What to do? So many options. Not today, not this Friday. This one looks like a Tuesday, which also looks like a Monday and a Wednesday, perhaps a Saturday. Every day feels the same for me, for you if you are a designer like me. Not for nurses and doctors. Our last line of defense, our protectors and guardians.
Aside from web & mobile applications, it's not every day that we stumbled across a case study for 'Television Experience'. More specifically for AppleTV and tvOS, even adding to that medium. Imagine designing experience in another language in combination with English, how about 'Hebrew'?
Figma should be part of your set of tools as designers and even as non-designers. They really changed the game in terms of how we work and how they have built (still going strong) a community surrounding the design tool and how you can contribute as well. They have introduced today two small features but quite impactful to your workflow.
Times are definitely changing, we all live in a pandemic and hopefully soon a post-pandemic reality. Economically things will be difficult initially but eventually things will get better. I know this sounds super grim, but in order to help everyone to promote their work, we will start featuring designers from all over the world in a series we call Designer Spotlight.
It’s hard to not follow trends, I struggle, people I know struggle, you probably struggle. That’s okay. The best way to learn is to try to imitate things we like. I am a believer that nothing is truly brand new but more an interpretation of something. I wonder if that is because I am not not talented enough. I can talk about this for hours but that is not what I want to do for this post.
While we are still 'confined'. Hope you are still staying healthy and safe. As I was going through my social feeds, I stumbled across this very cool retro-themed Webflow template made in Webflow. Titled:' Meet Mac', it's a cloneable and fully customizable template you can get and make any adjustments you can to make it yours.
In this time of sorrow and stress there’s nothing better than a boost of pure 80s graphic design inspiration. A lightning of energy directed straight to our hearts to lift us up. Perhaps even get me out of my lazy state and make me open Photoshop and try to recreate that effect.
