If you don’t lay a foundation and build strong walls, you’ll end up with a shaky building that will likely collapse at the first gust of wind. Similarly, to build a brand that withstands fluctuations in the market, you need a solid foundation and carefully crafted branding strategies.

With the advancements in technology, many people have started to favor the use of tablets over laptops because of their lightweight design and portability. The downside is that for the convenience that comes with a tablet, users sacrifice a keyboard for using the tablet’s onscreen keyboard which is mediocre at best. To offer a better solution, tablet keyboards easily connect to the tablet and give a user the features of a laptop without the extra weight.

If you’ve read or listened to any social media guru, you’ve heard this: consistency is key. Consistency in how regularly you post. And consistency in what you post. The social media gurus are right about consistency. It makes you successful in life and on social media. But, freelancers, social media managers, and anyone else tasked with consistent social media content production know that all that consistency is a lot of work.

Illustrator and Art Director Francine Siew of Wei Design is taking a novel approach to illustrated movie posters , creating 2 distinct versions before and after watching the film with compelling and sometimes hilarious results. “For Perception VS Reality , I decided to explore this habit of mine.

Thomas Edison once said “Vision without execution is hallucination.” This statement applies not just to invention, but to graphic design. One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.

Untitled #574 by Cindy Sherman, 2016. Untitled #466 by Cindy Sherman, 2008. The camera acts as a proxy for consciousness: observing, distilling, and recording fragments of time for futures to come. Awareness of its presence often creates a schism on the person being photographed — a heightened awareness and sense of self-regard that make prompt posturing and performance, a desire to take on a persona and act the part.

UI Trend 2020: 'Skeuomorphism' Design is back! AoiroStudio Jan 20, 2020 A couple of minutes ago, a good friend of mine living across the Atlantic sea. Sent me a 'designer meme' to laugh about. It was a joke about designer/developer handoff supported by a beautiful UI inspired by Skeuomorphism design from the old days, circa around the 2000s. It reminded me how this is making a comeback somehow, is it?

Photos of the Week - Germany Edition. abduzeedo Jan 20, 2020 A couple of weeks ago I shared some photos I took last year. The main goal was, one, to share high resolution images, and two, to create an incentive for me to take more photos. With those noble causes in mind I had the chance to travel to Europe last week for a short business trip. In between meetings I was able to sneak out and capture some photos.

I have to admit, I have a huge soft spot for typefaces that have paper cut-out vibes and Découpe is no exception. With its straights and selective curves, it curiously reminds me of Preissig Antikva , which is lovely in all its eccentricities but remains quite hard to use. Découpe, on the other hand, was designed for modern times.
