Photoshop | Applying & Removing Make-Up
Alright, we've come to the point when I'll be stepping over into a female territory for a second. Being an artist and all puts me at the make-up girls table every so often as well but I can tell you that the make-up a guy uses for TV appearances is not the same as what girl use each and every day in ...
Glass Pyrograph by Etsuko Ichikawa
Etsuko Ichikawa - The glowing material is molten glass. She gathers really hot glass onto pipe and makes drawings on paper. Paper that she uses is extremely thick, almost like a slice of plywood, so surprisingly it doesn't get burnt so easily.
My work is a continuing investigation of what lies betw ...

Design Board | The Evil Side Effects of Spec Work
There is a riot going on. It's about amateur designers diluting the pool of advanced professional work. It's a great controversy really. Some designers think that spec work is a great way for amateur designers to get a foot in. A way for them to learn the trade and to develop the skills they need in ...
Web Design Rap | Making Design Sound Cool
Or not! I haven't decided yet. However, you have to hand it to the guy. It's quite original and by the number of views he's had so far (with almost 500,000) it must be appealing for some. Maybe it's the message in itself and the fact that the guy knows his stuff. I can't tell anymore. My reoccurring ...

Creating a nice logo takes time. So does creating great typography. But what happens when you combine the two and put it into motion? Well, I found this small clip and I was actually quite intrigued. Is this something no one has thought about? I tried really hard to see if I could find any other cli ...
Ora by Alexandros Stasinopoulos
Ora is a unique timepiece that is not only beautifully designed but also very unique and modern twist to a wristwatch.
The purpose of mechanical watches is not just to display the time. they are, and ought to be, the showcase of human achievements in the fields of engineering, aesthetics and of c ...
Typography | The Essence of Inspiration
I usually work until the sun starts rising at the horizon. I can't think of anything better than to just sit and bit by bit add stuff to a progressive design. Have the window open while the silence slowly turns into the busy life of daytime. Smelling that fresh air gently touching my senses and insp ...
