Abstract Colored Shapes Photography

Posted: 22 Nov 2010 06:15 AM PST


One great way to get inspired is to not get inspired by the same type of work you doing, for example if you designing a website, don't look for web design inspiration but try to get inspired by something totally different. Here is a great selection that you can boost your imagination by looking at abstract shapes with beautiful colors.

The Perfect Office #64

Posted: 21 Nov 2010 08:35 PM PST


We've seen some great gadgets and equipment for designers. So many cool stuff, that we could actually assemble infinite perfect office spaces! Every week we'll assemble a perfect office, and we'd like you to help us. What equipment would the perfect office have?

<!--break-->

Not only gadgets and equipment, but also furniture, sound system, gaming stuff (for lunch time!). A designer is totally allowed to dream with the perfect office, and that's what we're gonna do here! Also, tell us your suggestions, or even better, you may tell us via twitter (mine and fabio's), using #abdz_ofc so we can check it. Alright? I hope you guys enjoy this brief selection. Cheers! ;)

SMNS Clip


The Perfect Office #64

A dual-purpose door handle that not only opens doors but transmits messages as well. Messages can be attached to the handle by using it as a clip. (at Moco Loco)

Marmeled Jelly Lamp


The Perfect Office #64

Marmeled is a design lamp that diffuses a soft, colored light thanks to a high-luminosity LED immersed in a clear and shiny gel. Perfect for moments of subtle illumination! It is a great solution for lighting up your indoor and outdoor parties and it fits with many different furnishing styles thanks to its young and original design. (at Jelly Lamp)

Star Wars Rebel Pilot Headphones


The Perfect Office #64

Styled in orange with easy to see Rebel insignias, these headphones don't just make an aural statement, they make a visual one as well. They say, "I'm not putting up with Sith oppression anymore!" But seriously, the Star Wars Rebel Pilot Headphones look awesome and sound fantastic. Plus they fold up for easy storage. That's all you really need to know. Buy some now, or Boba Fett will toss a kitty into the Great Pit of Carkoon. (at Think Geek)

USB Battleship


The Perfect Office #64

The USB Battleship is a new 5-port USB hub by design duo giffin'termeer. Not just a pretty hub, the device was designed to visually anchor the cable chaos surrounding most of our workspaces, with a toy-like, miniature ship. (at Core77)

XGA M2 Projector


The Perfect Office #64

AAXA is known in some circles for making bright little pico projectors, and its newest, the M2, is no exception. This latest model packs 110 lumens of brightness, XGA (1024 x 768) resolution -- seemingly a first for the world of tiny projectors. It also has 1GB of built-in storage plus an SD card slot if you need to get serious. The micro projector also boasts VGA, HDMI, and USB ports. Other than that, the M2 has a built-in media player with support for MP4, MP3, AVI, JPG, and other file formats, and optional cables for iPod, PSP and smartphone hookups. (at Engadget)

High-Rise B-Movie Poster Case Study by Falcon White Design

Posted: 21 Nov 2010 06:40 PM PST


Inspired by such great artists like Drew Struzan I wanted to do a different kind of a promo photo that looks more like a kind of a lobby card with a mixture of painted touch and filthy film grain look.

<!--break-->

Step 1

First I needed some hilarious photos in front of a green screen to make the extraction in Photoshop easier.

High-Rise B-Movie Case Study

Step 2

After browsing through millions of photos I chose those body parts I would like to put together because the perfect image is mostly hard to find. So I did this "digital Frankenstein-ing" with layer masks. The models were mixed with different stock photo material, like falcons or owls. Why? 'Cause Dinosaurs are extinct. ;)

High-Rise B-Movie Case Study

Step 3

With the combination of adjustment layers and the rectangle tool feat. Asphalt and wall textures I build a rooftop. Because I don't have a helicopter anymore I had to buy an adequate stock photo. ;-)

Step 4

Running dudes in front of a white layer doesn't kick ass at all. So it's better to place another stock photo – this time a high-rise skyline – in the background. With some self-made vanishing point lines it should fit right. I also build a quick helipad, to make it clearer that the helicopter already dropped the three amigos on the top of that building.

High-Rise B-Movie Case Study

Step 5

To make it look more Rock'n'Roll and not like a cheap montage, I played around with some adjustment layers like color balance or gradient maps.

Step 6

I added a few shadows and a smooth vignette. For the contrast I gave everything a little bit more brightness.

Step 7

The old-school method of dodge and burn helped me a lot giving everything a constant look.

I matched the colors of the helicopter optically and a couple of adjustment layers later… I couldn't believe it, but my image looked like this. ;-)

High-Rise B-Movie Case Study

Step 8

Finally brought it to an end with the finishing move "old movie projector lines" followed by some noise and a smooth blur to create the look of a sleazy, 70s B-movie scene. I hope you enjoyed this case study for abduzeedo.com.
