With half as many neurons in their cerebral cortex as cats—and half the attitude, some would say—dogs are often taken to be the less intelligent domestic partner.

My devotion to the gigposter is far from a secret (from both volumes of New Masters of Poster Design , to 1000 Indie Posters , and all the way back to Maximum Page Design ) but it goes further than my writing.

Photography Prodigy Blurs Reality and Imagination: A Conversation with Taylor McCormick | PHOTOSHOP.COM BLOG
In only two years, Taylor McCormick has transformed herself from a budding photographer into a one-of-a-kind artist. Through an involved and self-driven process McCormick matured from a high-school student with a camera and an imagination into a gallery-sponsored artist, traveling to Atlanta, Washington D.C., New York and Los Angeles for her work. Her journey can be described by the same word used to describe most of her published images: dreamlike.
The creative process is not a linear one. As artists and designers, we often set off in one direction only to decide that the proper solution lies somewhere else completely. Unfortunately, many of the creative software packages we use (Photoshop in particular) can be pretty unforgiving when in comes to making changes late in the game. Sure, we’ve got “Undo” for a quick change of heart, but often we don’t realize we need to make an adjustment until several steps (or days) later. Luckily, Photoshop has some great features built in that allow us to work in ways that protect our precious pixels—truly freeing us to do our best work. In this video post, I’ll show you some of my favorite techniques and tools for keeping your files flexible, including Smart Objects , Smart Filters , Layer Styles , Adjustment Layers , Masks and more.

blog – Golden Ratio in logo designs
Golden Ratio in logo designs . Beauty and aesthetics have been praised from time immemorial. But little did people know that the most effective, perfectly balanced, and visually compelling creations followed the tid-bits of mathematics. At least not until 1860, when German physicist and psychologist Gustav Theodor Fechner proposed that a simple ratio, an irrational number defines the balance in nature. The Golden Ratio! Fechner’s experiment was simple: ten rectangles varying in their length-to-width ratios were placed in front of a subject, who was asked to select the most pleasing one.
“I rest not from my great task! To open the Eternal Worlds, to open the immortal Eyes Of Man inwards into the Worlds of Thought, into Eternity.” En lo personal me cuesta trabajo imaginar a una persona que reúna tantos y tan refinados talentos como William Blake. Su exquisito diálogo con el lenguaje, su impecable lucidez para observar y enlazar realidades, su elegancia para venerar el pulso divino del hombre, la imaginación, y su virtuosismo como grabadista, hacen de Blake una figura tan radiante que puede iluminar (con la misma probabilidad que desquiciar) a aquel que profundiza en su obra.

Un proyecto de Lucrecia Piedrahita Objetos del Instante. La obra de Yosman Botero “Claro, a Uccello no le importaba nada la realidad de las cosas, sino su multiplicidad y lo infinito de las líneas; de modo que pintó campos azules y ciudades rojas y caballeros vestidos con armaduras negras en caballos de ébano que tienen llamas en la boca y lanzas dirigidas como rayos de luz hacia todos los puntos del cielo…Se limitaba a observar la dirección de las líneas, desde los cimientos hasta las cornisas, y la convergencia de las rectas en sus intersecciones, y cómo las bóvedas cerraban en sus claves, y la reducción en abanico de las vigas de techo que parecía unirse en la extremidad de las largas salas.” Marcel Schwob Conservar ideas para luego exponerlas forma parte del ejercicio intelectual y creativo.
