Website Do you want more visual fun? 40 Minimalist Print Ads That'll Catch Your Eye. While print advertising always seems like a marketer’s dream when compared to online ads, it’s yet another field where it’s getting more and more difficult to cut through the noise and deliver the client’s message. In the digital age, the attention span of the consumer is razor thin, making it harder for advertisers to secure attention whether it’s in print or on the web. To combat this, we’re seeing advertisers reach for a minimalist approach, using little copy and sparse imagery to convey a message simply that gets attention more for what’s not there.

Below is a showcase of 40 creative and beautifully designed minimalist print ads. The messages are quick and easily digestible. Take a look!

Once upon a time, on a blog that was a huge fan of this one, a series of inspirational experiments was launched to determine if the source that we were inspired by, could in fact, through the use of a predominant color, drive our inspirational output towards the same themes that are associated with that color. It began with Inspiration in Red. There was always an intention to follow up on that with another run to further gather input and results. And where better to test the waters than on a site with a fixed focus on inspiring and engaging the design community? So welcome to an FYC edition of the popular Inspiration in Color series.

So now the ball is in your court. The Fox Is Black » The Totally Insane, Candy Coated Paintings of Charlie Immer. It’s always a good day when I am blessed to find artwork that is as effed up as I am. Charlie Immer seems to have channeled that exact sinister–yet fun! –mentality and ran to hell and back with it. Immer is a DC area painter who mashes together childlike imagery, playful monstrous creatures he has envisioned in his head or pulled from pop culture, with what they should be doing: acting like monstrous creatures!

His oil paintings depict these happy, colorful creatures disemboweling each other, tearing each other’s rainbow tinted faces off, crying magenta and purple tears, drinking each other’s bright red blood, or even eating their own neon flesh. His work is absolutely ridiculous and laughable in what they portray: they are just soooooooo ridiculous that you can’t help but chuckle and smile at this truly fucked up imagery. However you feel about the subject of the work, it must be noted how good of a painter he is. Be sure to also check out Immer’s wonderful blog as well! The Myth of DPI. The size of an image in a website layout is important.

From proper alignment to getting just the right amount of white space, sizing photos and graphics properly beforehand is essential to creating a balanced look. Images on the web are measured in pixels. Yet many people go through the trouble of setting their images to 72 dots per inch (DPI). The process of sizing images for the web is often misunderstood.

The misconception about resolution in digital images bound for the web is that they must meet a certain number of dots per inch. In print, pixels per inch and dots per inch impact the size of an image on a page. When someone converts an image to 72 DPI, they’re adding an extra step with no benefit. When someone asks you for a web image that’s, say, two inches wide, they’re estimating how it would appear on their own monitor. Pixel Size Depends on Context A pixel (which is short for “picture element”) is the smallest unit of measure on a grid displaying a digital image. An Experiment. Peter Jaworowski's Portfolio.

Tutorial Tuesday is going to be a basic one – I’m a bit under the weather currently so this may not be the best post, but I want to give you something that I feel is important in the world of drawing – some pointers on foreshortening.

Check this out. Foreshortening is basically an optical illusion created from a compressed looking drawing in perspective. This perspective is distorted in order to create a false sense of depth, and is used a lot in comics – Superman flying with his outstretched arm coming out of the page, or a fist connecting with a villain’s face, etc. There’s several ways artists choose to render their drawings using foreshortening. Receding Plane Technique Scruffy Ronin uses a method that relies on a drawing a flat plane that recedes into space as a boundary.

Five Points in Foreshortening Here’s another basic set of rules you should follow when working with foreshortening. Size, Overlapping Shapes, and Surfaces Blocks and Circles See you next week. Untitled. Posted by: Lakshal Posted date: March 6, 2012 | 9 comments Tags: actions, mulletgod, photoshop A few years ago, I decided to make some Photoshop actions to make editing a little easier for people. There are so many simple things that people do in Photoshop that are tedious because of the click, click, click, drag, click nature of things in the software. Actions help with automating the process, doing much of the hard work for you. I had a website dedicated to these actions but that site was hacked and subsequently infected my main wedding photography website which obviously was not a good thing. These actions are completely free of charge but I would love it if you could make a donation to Médecins Sans Frontières if you enjoy using the actions.

Download the actions here Please note, The readme document contained in the ZIP file should have everything you need to know and I can’t offer any support for these actions anymore so please do not contact me asking questions!
