Out of This World Portraiture
This is already the second time in a few months that we’ve posted about the work of Barcelona-based artist Sergio Albiac (previous post here). We are so taken with his work, which firmly addresses the notion that creativity and technology and science are not mutually exclusive, that we just had to share. In this series,…
Read MorePixelated Portraits
Australian artist Guy Whitby, otherwise known as WorkByKnight (or WBK) has a terrific eye for mosaic compositions, which (and we know from experience) is much more difficult and time consuming than it looks. These pixelated portraits are deceivingly complex, and serve as visual commentary for the global shift from analog to digital. Each piece is…

Okay, so this isn’t exactly graphic design or art, but certainly piqued our interest. In a sea of ebooks and devices dedicated to delivering digital books to hungry consumers, one publisher, Eterna Cadencia, has another innovation in mind. They recently released El Libro que No Puede Esperar – ‘The Book that Cannot Wait’, an anthology…
Read MoreiOS Food Icons
With so many apps out there, icon design is something we increasingly take for granted. Some are certainly much better than others, and these, by Netherlands-based designer Julian Burford, fall into that category. The 3D perspective and uniformity among these hypothetical food product icons is great, especially while meeting Apple’s icon guidelines. Via julianburford.nl
