Make something cool everyday!
I remember when I found this website 2 years ago and I thought the photographs and the ideas were fresh. Now that I am looking for inspiration and redefine my passion for design, I re-found the same site. It might be some sort of sign. This is a blog from Brock Davis and he describes his project: One piece of creative work made every day for 365 consecutive days. The ideas still fascinates...

More type!
This is a typeface-driven design based on the “Here’s to the crazy ones” ad campaign from Apple in the 90s, using Motter Tektura, Apple Garamond, Myriad, Univers, Gill Sans, and Volkswagen AG Rounded, fonts present in Apple branding and products. This is an amazing job by Dilanroscover. Let me say I have tried myself to achieve this type of illustration but I did not...

Typography joyride workshop
I attended “Typography joyride workshop” (sponsored by Cinema Speakeasy, Echo Park Film Center, KERNSPIRACY, Machine Project and Autumn Seventy) and it was kind of inspirational. I understood the humble process of making actual type from a potato and be part of the communal group and make a unique ransom notes. After the workshop, they screen the movie Typeface where we had the...

Who says murals are boring? Not these guys. MUTO by Blu (graffiti/street artist from Bologna, Italy) are known as “animation painted on public walls.” This is kind of stop-motion animation painted and recorded on public spaces (although it seems some are abandoned buildings) with a beautiful sense of time and space. I loved the mutation of figures to over-expand drawings/graffiti...

Hello New World
For my first creative kick I can begin with a web favorite: a flash site. Because of web developing, the use of flash is always a double-side sword, they actively display interactive content for users to enjoy while the cons are the difficult to rank high in search engines and the constant upgrade of the flash system.
