How do we all drive people to our site? To see the articles we all slave over for hours each day?
Each of us are all out here to get the most hits we can onto our pages, (whether it’s to create advertisement revenue or not.) There are several ways in which to achieve this, and I hope to discuss two of the easiest and simple in which to setup and carry out.
These are some of my favourite deviants I have found to have not only great artwork/photography, but are also talkative and are willing to converse in the community as well. Be sure to check them out and favourite their works, I can also be found on DeviantART here.
I personally use Google Reader to organize my blog roll, and keep up-to-date on a daily basis with several blogs. These are just some of the blogs which pop out in their design, content and originality.
Design and Typography go hand in hand, designers the world over use typography in logo’s, advertisements, packaging and posters. It can make any piece of work stand out from the crowd.
This round-up shows off the best in typography in all forms styles, quality is of the highest callibre and approaches range for the conventional to the unique. Design can’t be made without the inclusion of characters and type, the more consideration you give to the minor details the more you will find these subtleties give your design the edge in quality.
Graphic designers and artist’s can use typography to give there work the edge, whether they want to make it look clean cut and minimal or grunge and street like.
Typography affects everything, its how big a title to be, its how widely spaced your having your paragraphs on your page. I want to show the best in typographical portraits found on the web, typographical portraits show the highest quality in artistry and skills. Text art is a growing passion of mine and these works are a small roundup of some of the best works you can discover today.
Cosplay put simply is short for ‘costume play’ and stems form the Japanese love for Manga and Anime cartoons. Although I don’t confess to be a big love of this subculture I have often found myself admiring the quality of the work gone into these type of costumes and characters.
Recently I have had to opportunity to connect with several artists, photographers and designers over at DeviantART. Immediately over the past few days and weeks I have become rather drawn to the photography of Micala Michaud, I recently got the chance to interview her with a few lightweight questions. Also be sure to check out a selection of her work below, with me showcasing some of my favourite pieces by Micala.
