I love the internet. Our lives are better because of it. I know, there are still a lot of by-products of social media and stuff like that. But from the business point of view, or design, it’s crazy to think how much it has improved. Look at this new product that was suggest to us by Nuhi Ademaj (azwedo.com) called FontInLogo.com.
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.
Arthur Kenzo is an industrial designer working in the Google Industrial Design Team. He shared a look of the making of the Google Pixel 4. I do own the Pixel 4 and it's quite fascinating to see some of the behind-the-scenes of what went through the process and designing Google's flagship phone.
Let's kick it off with colors and 3D. We are sharing the work of Wes L Cockx who is a 3D designer based in Brooklyn, NY, USA. As 3D is becoming more and more part of the process of product design, it's really nice to see it applied elsewhere than marketing and communications.
Supernova is a Boutique Design Studio that helps innovative brands and businesses tell their unique stories in playful and creative ways.
No events, no jobs: The measures taken in recent months have led to an increased shift from analog to digital. This includes art exhibitions taking place online. One of them, the Moon Exhibition, is not limited to any specific discipline, but opens up creative (virtual) space for all kinds of subjects.
Is there a place for another tool? What if I say there is a combination of Figma and Google Slides? Curious now right? We would like to share a warm welcome to Projector. What is Projector? It's a web browser-based tool that helps individuals and teams turn ideas into beautiful visuals across any format.
Ars Thanea doesn't need much introduction, why? The quality of their work through the craft, production, motion, CG, and art direction is pretty recognizable in the community. For them, it's just another day in the office.
Alex G. aka. CranioDsgn Studio ™ shared a compilation of illustrations that he’s done in his free time, during the isolation at home, to develop and experience new styles, challenges and paths. The outcome is really incredible and I can say, mission accomplished.
In this period when people need to take care of one another's health, staying at home, virtual contact by videoconference has been a frequent solution. Work meetings, birthday parties and happy hours take place with the cameras on. It's been more than 3 months, at least for me that I have been in isolation with my family. It's not easy, but we all adapt and get used to it.
This morning, Adobe announced and released major new features and numerous collaboration and productivity enhancements to Creative Cloud apps, including Photoshop, Lightroom, XD, Illustrator, Premiere Pro and more. I know you probably read it on all major sites and blogs, however as an Adobe user, especially a Photoshop user for a long time I’d love to highlight 2 new features.
It's been a little over a week since my last article, It's always a pleasure to write about things that we do enjoy featuring on abdz. As a comeback, I would like to feature the work of Fatih Hardal and his font display family titled: FH Ronaldson™ Display.
I shared with you in the past about a new side project I am working on. It all started with me trying to find ways to cope with anxiety and stress. Access to information has helped us evolve rapidly but not without side effects. Misinformation and the strong polarization of opinions are amplified by our confirmation bias tendencies. What to believe, who is right, who is wrong?
FatFaceStudio shared an awesome branding and visual identity project for event producers from my hometown.
Have you ever experienced that last minute panic when you’re trying to leave the house and can’t find your phone/wallet/keys? Or not been able to find the TV remote or your reading glasses? Or perhaps forgotten to post a birthday card or letter that was waiting by the door?
Automatic painting is incredible. Sometimes the result is amazing and beautiful but Carmelo Barberá was wondering what would happen if we introduced a machine into the equation. That’s what he did.
Square Off, the team that introduced the world to its range of smart chessboards, has further enhanced the experience of playing chess by introducing a video calling feature. Perhaps now it's finally the time for me to learn how to play chess. Anyone wants to play with me?
We are all living in a financial jungle. This series illustrates the species of our money world. Charis Tsevis have started this series when a good client of him asked him to suggest some artworks to decorate a new headquarter for a financial institution. I thought it would be a good idea to create a series of animal portraits.
Another weekend trying to learn SwiftUI. Not the entire weekend to be honest. It was in between playing with my little son, enjoying my family, playing video-games (therefore, bickering with my disapproving wife) and doing nothing. I would say it was probably 4 hours during 2 days.
