To most people, making a paper plane could be one of the simplest thing to do. It’s the simplest and easiest form of paper art, for this case a flying art. However, there’s a special minority who takes thing to the next level. They can turn the basic form of origami – which is folding a paper in half – together with a little cutting, folding, bending, shaping, and more paper folding, into an utmost creative artwork you have ever seen.

In this post, we will attempt to show how these minority, creative minded folks turn a very thin slice of wood – paper – into wonders, and bringing paper art to the next level.

Hands Down

Nice colors and placement for a hand skeleton.

Insect photography is challenging under the best circumstances. Think about it: you’re taking photos of something that is likely smaller than your little finger (and at largest is still probably smaller than your hand), has no reason to cooperate, and likely views you as a predator or is oblivious to your presence entirely. And even if you’re taking photos of dead insects, it still takes a lot of skill (and a good macro lens) to get the right focus and lighting.

The photographers who managed to snap the photos below all deserve some serious respect. They’ve managed to capture the beauty and complexity of some of the most beautiful specimens in the insect world. Look at their coloring, their structure, the way their bodies are segmented, and let them inspire your designs. Whether you simply borrow a color scheme or go for something a bit more obvious, insects can serve as a wonderful source of artistic inspiration, one that is often overlooked.

Minimalism has been a popular website design style for years. It has so many benefits; minimalist sites load faster, take fewer server resources, and are often faster to develop than more graphically complicated designs. Plus, they give a professional, clean impression to visitors.

Many people still view minimalist designs as boring. But there’s a real art to effective minimal website designs, something not all designers can effectively master. When you limit the number of graphic elements you use and put the focus on negative space and typography, a good eye for spacing and proportion becomes crucial.

This Photoshop creation is a concept about iPhone Video. This one won’t be much diverse from the iPhone, but some extra buttons on its left and some additional effects for the sleek screen and home button make this look better than the iPhone. By Chromatix.

iEye

The iEye is a concept mobile phone which boasts a shutter button onto the camera making it over iPhone constraints. The phone curbs a glut of features that take in 720p HD video, 5.1-megapixel stills, 12GB of flash memory, and a large-capacity lithium-ion battery hardwired inside. Moreover a 30 pin connector boosts its aptitude in connectivity for easy file transfers. By Adam Benton.

iPhone Nano

What can be a copulate when a iPhone and Nano are parents? The iPhone Nano. It’s a pretty good concept which can be abstracted from the image below. It’s a concept mated from a iPhone 3G and Nano G4. By FreshAndContent.

iPhone Pro

A unibody iPhone with pretty slick looks and flatter body. The iPhone 3.0 or iPhone Pro comes in two versions, aluminium and glass.

iPods

iPod Chimera

This concept is by far one of the best and most sophisticated iPod concept. Apart from the sleek and slim looks, it also has earpieces that are able to play wirelessly. Made up of entirely Titanium, iPod chimera has a scratch/smear resistant display that is able to play 720p HD videos.

iPod Nano 4G

Not much creative but a good idea about a iPod Nano 4G. This concept is splendid with some more sleek curves and great combination of colours. Indubitably, the design will come with many more features and as the image suggests, an accelerometer as well. By Chromatix.

iPod Shuffle

This concept is a portrayal of an iPod Shuffle wrist wrap dangling and would be found on all the joggers and runaway models on the roads, strapped on their arms. An iPod shuffle with a Mp3 bracelet and a wireless ear piece that might look prettier on arms of girls. By Isamu Sanada.

hiPod Concept

hiPod is a wrist watch style iPod that has a foldable display that becomes a digital watch when closed. It has the regular iPod dial-navigation and comes with a pair of wireless earpieces. By Isamu Sanada.

Miscellaneous Apple Concept Gadgets

Apple iRing

With this concept iRing design, you are able to control your iPod via bluetooth. You can control playback and volume on any of your Apple media devices using the touch-sensitive strip. It sports an OLED status display which can be use to toggle between ‘pause’ and ‘play’. By Victor Soto.

iVault

iVault concept entices you to own it in an affordable price of about $499 and will store hundreds of thousands of songs, videos and pictures. You are able to sync it with your Laptop/Desktop wirelessly just like Apple’s Time Capsule.

iCal Watch

The concept is a marvel of its own . It syns with iCal via Bluetooth so that you won’t miss and appointment or a meeting. Moreover the watch has a touch screen making it a snap to use.

iSticks

The set of iStick speakers are compatible with all Apple products and when compared to Harman Kardon speakers, it seems better to opt for and much reliable with iSub in a combo arrangement.

iLight

The iLight concept has a touch-sensitive panel which can be used to control the torch. Single tap to turn on, another to turn off, flick fingers forward and backward to control the luminosity, and double tap to lock the touch-panel. By Miyoshimasato.

A good portrait reveals something about its subject beyond the immediate appearance of the photograph. It includes layers of meaning and depth that portray the person as a whole, not just the superficial initial impression. Great portraits give us an idea of who the person really is, beyond what they’re trying to outwardly depict.

Portraits done in black and white add an additional layer of complexity to their subject. The choice to appear void of color says something about the person, though what it says varies greatly between people. Below are 100 stunning black and white portraits to give you inspiration in your designs. The range of subjects and what their portraits say about them run across the entire spectrum of the human experience, and you’re sure to find something that resonates.

About Author – Cameron Chapman is a professional Web and graphic designer with over 7 years of experience. She writes for a number of blogs, including her own, Cameron Chapman On Writing. She’s also the author of Internet Famous: A Practical Guide to Becoming an Online Celebrity.

When one speaks of retro art, images of art styles derived from advertising and propaganda posters from 1930s to 1960s usually flood the mind. The simple graphics made from oil paints reflect the less advanced technology of that time. This period is also a time of significant turbulence in our modern history, when major events such as the rise of communism and World Wars were taking ground. It is then not surprising that many posters serve as propaganda tools for the ruling governments. These propaganda images eventually contributed to the development of different retro art styles.

Many of the following retro art pieces that you will see are actual posters produced during those time. We’ve searched a couple of sources to compile a great list of retro art styles comprising not only of propaganda art pieces, but also a few other kind such as advertising posters. In addition, we have separated these pieces into two main categories, Western and Chinese retro art. Full list after jump.

The West: Retro Posters from the West

Here we have Soviet posters during the rise of communism as well as propaganda posters during World War II. There are also some miscellaneous ones like film and product ads, along with some retro-inspired art.

The East: The Chinese Art of Propaganda

As a result of over 5,000 years of China’s history and culture, Chinese art has always been uniquely different from the West. Here you will see how traditonal Chinese art evolved into retro art that still maintains its distinct culture while incorporating Western art elements to spread communism.

One of the things that makes a great designer is the ability to see beauty in unlikely places. And images of urban decay can really put that ability to the test.

Whether it’s images of abandoned buildings or simply a disregarded alley or nook, there is beauty to be found in the derelict and forgotten areas of the world’s cities. The images below give only a small taste of what’s out there, ready to inspire your next design project.

The joy about being a photographer is being able to capture life in a single image. Our eyes skim very briefly on facets of life but sometimes we fail to notice the intricacies that make the wonders of this world so remarkable. Simple things like looking at a bee settle onto a flower or looking at the rainbow spectrum in an insects eye, or even taking just a closer look at the human eye: the window to the soul. We walk around, not taking a moment to just enjoy this little bits of life.

Here we have collected a number of macro shots that hope to inspire and remind us of the little things that can just make you feel in awe. Have a great weekend ahead :-)

Blogging is such a huge activity on the Internet and in fact Technorati the Internet search engine for blogs managed to track 112.8 million blogs in June 2008. Amazingly, the popular trend of blogging began a decade ago in 1999 and has stayed ever since. This large influx of bloggers, along with the inquisitive nature of people to explore and seek out another’s opinions or comments, explains why blogs are one of the most visited type of websites on the internet.

Undoubtedly, content itself plays the biggest role in attracting visitors to follow a blog’s posts. People visit blogs to check out what the blogger has to comment about recent events, the current affairs, his or her personal story and the likes. Still, a good design can be how a blog first captivates people enough to be aware of its presence. In other cases, bloggers want to stand out from the vast number of blogs in the blogosphere. Making improvements to the content may be an abstract task, so the easier way to distinguish the blog from others is to work on the design.

When we talk about design, the key word is ‘impression‘. A visually attractive blog leaves behind a deep impression among people such that the person remembers it enough to actually revisit the site another time. This list of absolutely gorgeous-looking blogs below was compiled to provide you with some ideas on what you can do to come up with an attractive and well-designed blog.

Who hasn’t dreamt of visiting Paris once in this lifetime? Dubbed the ‘City of Light‘, Paris is one of the, if not the most, romantic city to ever grace the earth. Any tourists to this beautiful and culturally rich city will be overwhelmed with excitement by the thousands of places this city has to offer. Wherever one goes, a good photo spot is simply around the corner for one to capture the moment forever.

One famous photography spot is the magnificent thousand-feet Eiffel Tower, the global icon of France. This awe-inspiring 320-metres iron structure was built a century ago in 1889 by renowned French engineer, Gustave Eiffel, and it remains as one of the most visited and photographed monuments in the world today. Other than the phenomenal Eiffel Tower, Paris is also home to several other major attractions such as the Arc de Triomphe, Basilica of Sacred Heart, Notre Dame, The Bastille, Louvre Museum, Opéra (Paris Métro) and La Défense. The list of places for picture-taking seems never-ending.

As you can see, Paris is superb for professional and amateur photographers alike. For this very reason, we thought it will be inspiring to have an excellent collection of photos of this amazing city that might be of interest to you.

There’s only one chance to give a good first impression to your potential clients. Business card speaks for a brand and they are a good and effective tool to impress and maintain relationship with clients. However if your business card is plain and dull, it can only tell so much of your company’s image.

In today’s article, we proudly present a series of truly creative business card design together with tutorials and template that you can start with. Here’s a list of a collection of 100+ Creative Business Cards, Templates and Tutorials. Full list after jump.

Examples of Creative Business Card

Wood, Plastic and Metal. These unorthodox materials for a business card can draw susbtantial attention to anyone looking at it for the first time. The texture itself feels unique too, and all these can leave behind a good impression for the company.

Standard size, just creative designs. Unsurpingly, visually captivating designs imprint on a person’s memory deeper than dull or plain designs. A creative tagline that gives people food for thought can also be remembered better.

Doing the Google thing – If you are pretty confident in the ranking of certain keywords, why not try these? Here are several examples.

Minimalist. A minimalist approach to business card design attempts to focus a person’s attention to where it matters most: The company’s or organization’s name or logo. Despite such simplicity, the design can still be creatively done through careful arrangements of wordings and logo.

Creative cuts & custom shapes. Not your usual 3.5 x 2 inches business card, but definetely rocks!

They say a picture speaks a thousand words, and that is definitely true when it come logo design. A well-thought logo design can effectively use a simple icon to leave a deep enough impression for the public. Most logos communicate ideas to people, for instance the kind of quality services a company can provide for its customers. A memorable logo is always a plus if one wants to ensure first-time visitors to their websites will return in future.

While there’s no easy answer as to what kind of logo design is the most effective and impressionable, it is probably intuitive to assume that creatively designed logos are more likely to stand out. However, that does not necessary mean that a logo has to be very elaborated. A simple logo with an innovative play of wordings can be as intriguing as a aesthetically pleasing logo. This is the beauty of logo designs.

Here is a compilation of 80 creative logos of different variety, all categorized under these groups: Wordmark, Symbolic, and Combined mark. Enjoy!

As you shall see, these logos involve the creative arrangement and modification of words to enhance the name of the company they represent. Unlike symbols and icons, text-based logos are effective in the sense that the name is clearly spelt out for easier recognition.

Symbolic/Iconic and Combine Mark Logos

Using symbols and icons, the logo desingers attempt to establish an association between the brand name and the image. One advantage of symbolic and combine mark logo is that there is more room for creativity than text-based (wordmark) logos which only play around with words. Some logos, however, actually incorporate both text and icons to form a unique logo design.

Everyday, an average internet user is bombarded by advertisements, images, news, etc. With the booming number of internet websites over the years, it is not surprising for any internet user to be overwhelmed by such information overload. Online companies are competing with each other to attract more visitors to their site, and equally important, retain them. To achieve this, marketers online have to constantly come up with unique ideas to captivate viewers so that they can remember their website.

Designing a captivating logo or symbol is one way to leave deeper impression for site visitors. However, text logos or symbol logos are way too common for the vast array of websites on the net, so some marketers are resorting to using cute, catchy and adorable animals as mascots for their website. Mozilla Firefox, an internet browser, is one good example. The trademarked orange fox mascot is so popular that it is usually the first thing that pops into mind when we hear of the browser.

For those who are interested in finding more about using Animals as Web Mascots , here are 21 fine examples for your reference.

Mailchimp

Site visitors are bound to be attracted by this well-designed delightful chimp that greets them on the very first page. Apart from that, this chimp mascot is illustrated in such a way that it roughly represents what the website is all about (i.e. email marketing). This is an essential component since the impression made to one will also provide information on the website service. People will then effortlessly remember what the website is about upon recognizing the mascot.

Elune Art

Sometimes, simplicity is the best design. This website features a brown owl mascot with a soothing light blue background. Such plain design is pretty straightforward and therefore conveniently remembered by visitors. So long as people have no problem identifying what the mascot character is (in this case, an owl), they will be able to apply that character to represent a particular website, thereby forming an impression that lasts.

Beefinance

This little bee logo is suitably used for this financing website because first of all, the golden-colored bee reminds all of us of the color of coins which in itself is a symbol for money or finance. Most importantly, the bee fits well into the tagline of the company: Taking the sting out of debt. In other words, this website has created a simple yet memorable mascot that customers could remember by relating to the ’sting’ of being in debt as well as the color of money.

Blogbuster

Everyone knows what an octopus is, but this eight-footed sea creature distinguishes itself from other animals in terms of its unique features. As such, a website that utilizes it as a representation will be able to catch visitors’ attention. Hence, a pink and adorable octopus like this should be able to build an impression that lasts well enough to enable visitors to call to mind the website and its content.

Bonifac

Cute designs and themes is a must for a website that deals with toys for kids. Even though the customers are parents themselves, it is still necessary for web designers to create the appropriate ambience to grab parents’ attention. These delightful monkeys and the accompanying color theme for this website are likely to encourage visitors to explore further and keep the website in mind.

Branded07

With their vibrantly colored beaks, toucan birds are one of a kind. Upon entering the web desing site, visitors are greeted by two aloof-looking toucan birds on the right of the page. Despite the unresponsive expressions, the two birds are still able to pull off as an adorable pair. Such contrasting nature of the mascot design can instill a sense of curiosity for anyone who stumble across the website.

Cow and Monkey

Witn a witty name and a comical mascot design, this website is able to create a unique branding that lasts. One couldn’t help but be amused to see the two cartoon characters peering out and looking straight at you as one travel from page to page. Both cow and monkey are well designed along with a beautiful background. Such design attracts visitors and inject a sense of professionalism. Humorous contents are also most easily remembered.

Cowurl

Once again, this simple webpage uses cow as a mascot. Although a cow does not seem to have any direct association with their URL shortening service, employing an lovable cartoon cow to represent the website beats using just words (e.g. www.tinyurl.com). Once someone becomes aware of this website, he or she will link it to the image of this cartoon cow, thereby facilitating recall.

Fernandolandi

For this particular web design site, the bird not only serves as logo for visitors to remember by, but also as an example of the site’s portfolios. In this case then, the mascot is appropriately used to represent what the website actually provides. This is a effective approach to motivate site visitors to explore further.

Mixturtle

A green turtle with a spiky mohawk hairstyle smoking a cigarette for a music search engine may not be appealing for some, but it is peculiar enough to raise eyebrows. Such odd or even bizarre mascot may perhaps be distinctive enough for visitors to bear in mind this site. Regardless of whether the design is pleasing to the eye, the mascot has fulfilled its purpose so long as people are able to remember the website through it.

Mozilla Firefox

Among the many Mozilla softwares, Mozilla Firefox probably has the most well-known mascot logo for its open source web browser. The trademark fox mascot circling the globe symbolizes the function of the browser to connect worldwide. The design for the fox itself is also very well-done with the color of its fur matching the color of the flames of a fire. An attractive logo like this for a software or a website is a superb strategy for effective branding and marketing

Octonauts

What better way to captivate visitors than to animate the mascot? By animating the cover page of the book that this website is selling, visitors are more likely to be drawn to the adorable characters and induced to find out more about them. Although the animation is minimal, it is sufficient enough to bring to life these characters and interest any potential customers.

Oldloft

This is yet another web design website with an amazing design that focuses on the whole package. The website is well-decorated with a greenish-yellow cloudy background along with a couple of lovely animal characters raising a flag labelled ‘www’. The illustration of animals raising the flag together is deliberately used to emphasize on their company’s tagline ‘let’s work together’. The nicely designed mascots with their symbolization of their mission will clearly form a deep impression on any site visitors.

Owltastic

A simple design of an owl mascot is used here, but the overall ambience brought about by applying light colors onto the site’s background as well as the owl is able to bring out a soothing experience. The owl serves as a symbol for the website for the masses to remember by. Simplistic designs like this can be effective as long as people are emotionally engaged into the whole package and recognize what the mascot is in order to associate it with the website.

Pojeta

What is striking about this website is the immense background covering the sky, sea and beneath the sea. On the same page, the monkey, toucan bird and the porcupine fish sits on top of the website’s title within the same page. Overall, the page is a humorous display of various mascots that is bound to tickle the first time visitors of the site. A lighthearted design like this will stand out from the sea of ordinary websites in the internet.

PSDgator

Clear-cut mascot design like this is easy for anyone to call to mind. This bespectacled alligator is seen here working on converting PSD (photoshop document) to CSS and HTML format, which is pretty the service that this website is offering. One advantage of such uncomplicated and straightforward design is that visitors know what to expect at first sight.

ReadWhale

Why choose a whale as a mascot for a community website for book lovers? Perhaps the website is making a metaphorical point in that the amount of written literature in the world is neverending like the sea which the whale lives in. In other words, the whale mascot is put in for avid readers to identify with, as if it is consuming the sea of books in its huge body. This is a design that took efforts to incorporate in a good representation for the website’s content.

Silverback

A large picture of a buffy ape in tight-fitting shirt holding on to an evaluation clipboard greets the visitor on the site’s main page. One can’t help but spend some time observing the delicate and pleasing illustration of the ape. The more time one examines the mascot, the more memorable it becomes. Mascot designers for website can best leave a deeper impression in visitors but arousing their curiosity.

Squared Eye

This is again another website that chose a whale as their mascot. According to the author, this blue whale, Levi, was designed to emphasize the company’s appetite for detail. We all know the blue whale is the largest living animal (and thus having the biggest appetite). In short, the designer brilliantly selected the blue whale to articulate what the company believes in- A Monstrous Appetite for the Tiniest Details.

Tweak!

A likely reason why this wide-eyed cartoon bird is used as a logo and symbol is because as one could see, the name of the site is "Tweak!". In this case, the website is a podcast site offering bits and pieces of advice on small improvements to life and business. However, one can use the same name to refer to the breaking sound of tree branches. The mascot bird seems to be petrified, as if it just heard a ‘tweaking’ sound, indicating that the branch it is grabbing on is about to break. This hilarious transfer of the site name to a mascot is a interesting way for people to associate for better recall.

Zootool

The zoo theme is chosen for this particular website tool because the word ‘zoo’ rhymes with ‘tool’, and naming it ‘zootool’ makes it easier for one to remember. Therefore, this website packaged itself into a zoo theme, such that users who signed up for their personal organizer service actually ’start their own zoo’. The Rhinoceros mascot is thus pictured on the right to create the make-believe to further solidify their site name. This website example shows how the appropriate choice of mascot can work hand-in-hand with the site’s name to bring out effective marketing.

Most web designs starts off with a pen and paper before its taken over by Photoshop. However, we’ve noticed a new trend (probably not too new) where designers are bringing back sketches as a form of design. Without a doubt, hand-drawn art is one of the popular styles adopted into web designs. Nothing is better than using these sketchy designs to convey and reflect individual styles.

In this post, we’d like to show you 50 great examples of how hand drawing and web design can fit beautifully together. Full list after jump.

Tilt-shift photography is a method of photography that utilizes tilt-shift lenses to overcome the restrictions of depth of field and perspective that normal lenses provide. A tilt-shift lens allows for the rotation of lens against the image plane (tilt), as well as the movement of lens along the image plane (shift). By applying Scheimpflug principle, tilt-shift photography is able to obtain a very shallow depth of field using tilt and a large aperture.

Tilt-shift miniature faking is one of the most popular applications of tilt-shift photography. This is a process in which a photographer manipulates the angle of a tilt-shift lens to distort the focus of a scene to be captured by the camera, thereby creating an illusionary depth of field usually produced by macro lenses. This makes the particular scene appear smaller than it truly is.

Due to the popularity of tilt-shift miniature faking, it is often misunderstood to be synonymous with the tilt-shift photography method itself. In reality, there are other effects that can be achieved from this method. For instance, tilt-shifting is widely used to capture architectural scenes because of its unique ability to remove perspective in photos and manipulate the plane of focus.

We present here 60 cool examples of tilt-shift photography for your reference.
