I 5 Manifesti per una Vita Creativa — Beatrice Ferrarini
tradotto dall’articolo originale di Kirstin Butler Come può una lista numerata dare inizio ad una rivoluzione personale. In alcuni giorni tutti abbiamo bisogno di un piccolo incoraggiamento extra. Le parole o le linee o i colori non vogliono venire, o peggio, non vogliamo neanche metterci lì a creare. Questo è il momento in cui ci rivolgiamo a questi manifesti ispiratori, ciascuno dei quali garantisce alla nostra creatività, che non vuole collaborare, un bel calcio nel sedere. Qui ce ne sono 5 dei nostri manifesti contemporanei preferiti che fanno letteralmente saltare le idee fuori dalla vostra testa e nelle mani del mondo. 1. Siamo fan di lunga data del fantastico lavoro di Frederick Terral, il visionario creativo che sta dietro lo studio Right Brain Terrain. “Non sarai un Picasso o un Mozart, ma non devi esserlo per forza. Metti giù il telecomando, salta giù dal divano e fai qualcosa dal e per il tuo lato destro del cervello! "Ogni bambino è un artista. Terral 2. 3. 4. 5.
Lessons
Articles and lessons, in the Beginner section of Drawspace focus on the very basics of drawing and are designed for both absolute beginners with no drawing experience whatsoever, and artists wishing to review or expand their current skills.

Consider using one of the following approaches to Beginner lessons: Plan A: If you are a beginner, an ideal approach is to slowly work your way through each lesson from A-level to G-level in sequence. Plan B: Just jump on in and have fun!

Piattaforme di Condivisione e non solo… parte tre
Oggi parliamo probabbilmente di uno dei siti di condivisione di risorse gratuite migliore che ci sia nel web, parliamo di Deviantart. Come detto Deviantart è un sito pieno di risorse a cui tutti possono accedere, in cambio dell’uso delle risorse messe a disposizione dai vari utenti bisogna solo scrivere nei vari credits il nome dell’artista con il link alla risorsa oppure leggere attentamente il regolamento per l’uso delle risorse che ogni utente rilascia. Quindi a meno che non siate dei vecchi utenti e ormai avete preso confidenza con il sito e sapete benissimo cosa cercare o vi siete salvati tra i vostri preferiti l’utenti seri che offrono risorse di qualità vi troverete veramente disorientati e farete fatica a capire come funziona. Beh ora non vi rimane altro che andare sul sito e iniziare a capire come funziona, buona fortuna ^^www.deviantart.com

I also argued that those comics can be used to teach both writing and reading. However, today I am sharing with you a great resource where you can find tons of free comics to use in your class. Digital Comic Museum (DCM) is a free resource platform where users can easily download public domain golden age comics without the need to ask or worry about searching the net for them. All the comics featured in Digital Comic Museum are copyright free and in the public domain.

Starting a New Project? Do These 5 Things Before You Open Photoshop
For some designers, the first impulse is to open Photoshop and start going right away, but most projects require some substantial work before digging into the actual design. Here are some of the things you should get done before you start to put together images, layers, vectors, and everything else in your design. 1. Get Core Project Information Before any design work begins, the client and designer have to agree on the fundamental basis for the work itself. For example, designing a glitzy marketing campaign on a few keywords can be really insufficient if there are specific messages, target audiences, or angles that the client wants to address. 2. Professional freelancers and designers who work directly with clients know firsthand the importance of tackling contract questions before any design work is done. You may know what you're supposed to do, but what about the size of the project? 3. 4. Professionals do this in different ways. 5. What Do You Do Before Photoshop?
