Ever since I saw the recent Star Trek movie I’ve been itching to create a gorgeous sci-fi inspired cosmic space scene. I eventually found the time to do so and created a piece of artwork named ‘First Light’. Follow this step by step walkthrough of its creation in Photoshop, from the making of the planets, to the vibrant nebula and bright lens flares

My good friend Paulo and his Doubleleft team sent me this beautiful link, a site called “How many friends do you know” , where you are tested to show how many of your Facebook “friends” you ACTUALLY know. Although i like art direction and animations, what i really love is the smart questioning of our “virtual” life

18 posts left… I got an email last night from someone asking me to do a breakdown of which browser is better, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari and Chrome. First of all, there’s already a pretty good reference that Michal Zalewski put together . Like anything this comprehensive, since it’s not been edited for about half a year it’s already out of date in a few ways, but it’s a great place to get started for those who want to get familiar with the internal differences between various browsers.

Today we have observed some messages which at first glance appeared to be somebody trying to correct their mistakes on the CV they sent out. All messages had the same body text that read as follows: Thank you for the chat yesterday, it really helped me get a clearer idea of recruitment as well as exploring any potential opportunity.
I was recently contacted by the crew at .Net Magazine and had been asked to be part of the judging panel for this year’s .Net awards. It was an honor to be part of the panel amongst the other great designers, bloggers, and developers

Originally produced for Polygraphmash’s (the largest of the Soviet state-run printing and design firms) type design bureau in 1968 by letterer and type designer Anatoly Shchukin , Ladoga was the first successful attempt to emulate a Renaissance antiqua in Cyrillic. It went on to be an extremely successful release for Shchukin, and was a very common book face all across the Soviet Union throughout the 1970s. Viktor Kharik – whom we hope to see much more from in the future – has completed this version of Ladoga , which is much more than simply a revival of a photolettering type.

SophosLabs has discovered a technique in anti-virus marketing, which we detect as Spin/BigNumber-P. Typical behaviour involves phrases such as “Product detects X viruses!”, where X is a large, rather exact-sounding number. Some variants involve high-tech numerical displays updated in real-time with ever growing numbers.

We talked to Nick Shinn , subject of a Creative Characters interview and designer of the very affordable and utilitarian complementary sans faces Sense and Sensibility – which, together, make up a 32-font superfamily – about this new retail release, which has been used extensively and very successfully by the Globe & Mail for several years. I’ll make no bones about this, I want people to licence the whole superfamily, which is why it’s 32 fonts for $249 – under $8 each. The idea is you can make a layout and see what works best, a modernist or a humanist face, without reformatting (or) present both to your client and let them decide
