AGE - The New Exhibition by EvokeOne

Posted: 03 Jun 2010 07:07 AM PDT

From the psychedelic abstract works of James Merril, to the energetic scenes captured by our featured artist Aaron Campbell, to the sublime photographs of Linus Leandersson, you're in for a visual feast accompanied by the ambient soundscapes of our audio director, Keith Alban, and many other Evoke musicians. Bring the colors, bring the noise, bring on the new age!

A monumental release. One full year in the making. AGE doesn't represent merely another step down the same path; on the contrary it is an exhibit expressively characterizing the paradigm shift within the collective. All the pent up energy, the motive force behind the recent changes in our group were channeled simultaneously into one hundred of the most drop dead gorgeous works we've ever produced — Ted Yavuzkurt

Saad Moosajee's New Work

Posted: 03 Jun 2010 06:31 AM PDT

Saad Moosajee is freelancer illustrator and Art Director from England but currently living in Denver, CO, United States. Saad is a great friend of ours and has contributed a lot with the blog with wallpapers, opinions and inteview. Now he has just updated his website with awesome new works that had to be featured here on Abduzeedo.

For more information visit Saad's website at http://saadart.com/

I am still pretty influenced by surrealists like Dali and Magritte but less than I was before. These days I get more inspired by my surroundings, especially tagging & graffiti and artists like Banksy.

Saad's work has been exhibited in multiple galleries and published in a multitude of magazines and books. He has also served as the Creative Director of slashTHREE.com for over 2 years, and is also a member of The Keystone Design Union.

The World Collabs #2 - with Bechira Sorin

Posted: 02 Jun 2010 09:28 PM PDT

Abduzeedo takes pride in being one of the worlds leading design blogs. Having interviewed a bulk of the most infamous creative geniuses, we want to use our potential to introduce a new star on the Abduzeedo stage …YOU.

This is our second contest for The World Collabs. Our new cutting edge Abduzeedo collaboration project, which will give you the possibility to collaborate and compete with the worlds leading designers and artists.

What is "The World Collabs"?

"The World Collabs" will give you the possibility to work with PSD files of established artists. TWC gives you a secret in-view in the workflow of the stars and catapults you miles forward in your journey to design heaven. This way you learn to practice with different shapes, backgrounds, patterns brushes and new styles.

Every month we will offer you an unfinished piece of an experienced and accredited graphic designer to the world.

The piece will be unfinished, so you can complete the PSD-file with your very own style. This way every month you can collaborate with the best designers of the world. The final pieces will be judged by the Abduzeedo Team and the artist himself. The three best works will be rewarded with prizes.

Prize

1. $ 100 (send via PayPal) & an approval for an original collaboration with the artist
2. A Single Version of image editing program Pixelmator (worth 59 $)
3. A Copy of the Logo Book "Lords of Logos" (worth 55 $)

Artist of April: Bechira Sorin

I am very proud to present the artists for our second Collaboration post: Bechira Sorin. A 30-year-old awarded graphic & multimedia designer, with a bachelor degree in fine arts, multimedia techniques & new media. With more than 8 years of experience as a designer and as an Art Director he is now Creative Director at slashTHREE artgoup, Art Director at X3 Studios and member of The KDU.

I'm always looking for self improvement and I'm willing to experiment new possibilities of expressing myself trough any process of visual communication, from traditional techniques, to digital ones.

Design by Bechira Sorin

It is absolutely important that you visit his website BechiraSorin.com

Logo Design: Skulls

Posted: 02 Jun 2010 08:00 PM PDT

The Logo Design series is up and running! We're thinking ahead and we want to find new ways to sort these listings. Last week we had the second part of our Monoblock logos post... today it's all about skulls! These were kinda hard to find.

As usual, we'll search for logos in these galleries: Logopond, Logo Faves, Logo Moose, Logo from Dreams, Logo Gala, WS Logos, The Logo Mix and Wolda. We hope you all enjoy our selection! Cheers. ;)

PS.: Got cool ideas for sorting? Tell us! ;)

Watch Flash content on your mobile device...without Flash!

This could be a game changer, a way around that pesky nuisance of not being able to view Flash on your mobile device, and a big middle finger to the squabble between Apple & Adobe. Smokescreen is a new app (javascript code? or whatever) that will allow you to convert your Flash file into HTML5/Javascript content. That's right, no more Flash plugin needed and viewable on any device that supports HTML5 & Javascript (hello iPhones & iPads). Even better yet, Smokescreen will be open source and free! I can't wait to start using it.

Check out this demo on the iPad:

Hi readers!
I'm a Graphic Designer in New York City (Brooklyn!).

Hope you enjoy my posts!
