The art of pixels |
Every single thing that we look at on screen is made up of pixels. Simple fact. We normally look at pixels as a general blend on screen. However for me the real magic of the pixel is when we look at them close up. “Pixel Art” has been around for many years. It was primarily used in early game design. Xerox first made the use of “Pixel Art” commercial, however this then filtered through many various systems such as computer games, mobile phones and early computers. Pixel Art came from cross stitching and uses the same processes of building it up from each “block” so to speak.
Below are excellent examples of Pixel Art. It has become a lot more prevelant with the resurgance of “retro art”
Enjoy.

Amazing Typography Packaging |
One of the most common examples of great graphic design is packaging, apart from holding the relevant information for the product itself it becomes a brilliant tool for sales. Illustration often is the main feature in packaging but color and typography are also major factors. Typography can give the packaging a desired edge and make it stand out against the competition. Plus who doesn’t like a typography dominated roundup?
