I'm far from a professional photographer, I'm more of an enthusiast and I love to play around with my Canon G9. It's not an SLR camera but it works really fine for my skills and, also, it does RAW; everything I need for my addiction to HDR. I still have a lot to learn but I thought it would be nice to share some of my experiments.

Another day I was talking to a friend of my, and he told me that he would love to see more posts about web design here at Abduzeedo. When he told me that, I totally understood that we're kind of posting just about photography and illustration... and only Fabiano is doing something about web with his tutorials and links in the Best of the Week series. So today, web design it is!
Last Sunday I arrived in Chicago and had the opportunity to visit one of the coolest cities I’ve ever been to.
One of the biggest challenges when advertising a product, is to come up with an idea that is not obvious, but still is clever enough to deliver the message your client wants. When you do that and still manage to be funny, you hit the jackpot. Here are some examples of clever advertising and how a simple idea might be just the right one to go with.
As the Summer Olympics draws near every aspect of popular culture tends to involve itself in it. The design world especially plays an important part in inspiring people to get excited about the games.

A few days ago I took sometime to try some tutorials I read such as the really cool Dramatic Text on Fire Effect in Photoshop by Collis from PSDTUTS, and put some 3D typography ideas into practice.
This week, a friend of mine linked me a video that brought back some bad memories. Every designer knows how difficult is to deal with picky clients, who don't know what they want...
We begin this week with fresh works from a polish designer named Adam Spizak. He's got great pieces and I would like to share them with you. Adam makes cool compositions, using pictures, vectors, making awesome, colorful illustrations. We'd love to get this dude interviewed! What do you guys think about it? Anyways, have a wonderful week, you all!
This post will tell about the amazing art of packaging- and product design, because it's very amazing how professional companies and even just people with a nice experience with a computer can come up with great results. Enjoy!
This week we've choosen some good references for graphic designers and 3 articles about architecture also. But one of the biggest news that we've heard about this past 5 days was the negotiation between Google and Digg... around $200 milion...
I'm couting the days to put my hands on the camera I've bought a few days ago. I've always wondered what kinds of pictures I would take, what kinds of effects I would produce, if I would photoshop it or not.
Everyone uses a mouse, and most of you have probably heard of carpal tunnel syndrome. I never really worry about it but it does linger around the back of my mind. I even know some people who have been afflicted by it.
In this week, besides our selection of Sites of the Week we will announce the winners of the 2 iconsets from Iconshock and the 2 licenses for the In the Mod application.
Probably one of the biggest questions for me was "how do color blinds see world?" Evad, from COLOURlovers answered that for us in a awesome article! It's incredible to see that these people manage to live seeing only part of the light spectrum...
The program formerly known as "Project Wukong" has been released a few days ago as Essential HDR.

I thought that these classic and modern designs on plates were pretty good. As some of you may see, there are some nice shapes inside the plates design. There are also some colours that go well together will the design. Here they are...
I've already seen some of these sometimes before, and it's really amazing who these dudes manage to make such realistic 3D paintings, messing with nothing but our perception. And I just wonder whether or not this is just a hobbie for them, or is it their actual income source. Anyways, Julian Beever and Kurt Wenner are trully talented artists.
I love motion graphics and animation. One thing I look for when I go to the cinema or watch a TV program is a nicely designed title and/or credit sequence. It's not absolutely necessary, but if it's there, and done right, it adds a new level of enjoyment to the film or show. I feel like there has been a bunch of great sequences lately so I thought I'd post a few that I liked.
This week we will have a cool wallpaper from the AudioJungle Wallpaper contest. There were so many awesome designs and the winners are really good, however we decided to pick another one, a dark and cool wallpaper from Victor Sutardja .
Just a normal day for me, until a friend showed me some pictures with Body Paint. Here's a set with some of those mind blowing pictures and the art of body paint itself. Enjoy reading the text (which I doubt you will).
We've already featured him here at Abduzeedo, in the last Wallpaper of the Week. He's a designer from Australia, with a passion for art and design. He's got some great work in his portfolio, and I'd like to share it with you. His name is Christopher Haines. He's works are really cool, and go from photo manipulation to illustration.
In this tutorial I will show you how to create a very nice image inspired by the amazing work of Andy Gilmore. If you don't know who he is, I highly recommend you to check his work out. He creates images combining vectors and blend modes to create astonishing designs, and that is what we are going to do.
One of the greatest things about design is how some people get to use classic references in their work. This week's video has that classic touch, and uses the theme song from 1952 film, Singing in the Rain. But not only uses the song, they also manage to turn the song into something new, yet, really enjoyable. Now add a dude breakdancing. Cool, huh?
Beck's new album Modern Guilt is out now and I'm digging its groovy 60's vibe. It's a little bit more psychedelic and moodier than his previous more upbeat and funky albums like Odelay and Midnight Vultures, but is definitely worth checking out if you're a fan.
The past week was full of tips, tutorials, and excellent references for graphic and web design. Plus some really interesting articles, with a special attention to a spectacular skate video using the red camera.
When designing we have to think about the goals of our project, the audience and what we want them to feel when seeing our design. Among all areas of a design project, color selection is one of the most important. They can make our design look cold, warm, retro, futuristc, vintage, etc.
Today is the grand opening of The Dark Knight, and we are all really excited! How much butt will this movie kick? A LOT. And to celebrate its opening, we're making a collection of all Batman Movies Posters (or just the best ones, as you wish). We had several Batman movies already, in which Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer and George Clooney played the Dark Knight.
