Vreau sa multumesc colegilor de la X3 pentru superbul cadoul pe care mi l-au facut de ziua mea.

Draguta cartea, ofera informatii folositoare oricarui designer, sa ma satur putin de ea promit sa o share-ui:

“Innovative concepts to present your work

Your portfolio is your first impression; it needs to draw your attention. In this book, you’ll find inspiration and global research. which will be both open up your mind and surprise and impress your clients.

There are more than 300 images split between th following chapters:

- Traditional portfolio

- Digital portfolio”

Cadoul perfect, nu cred ca imi doream altceva decat o carte. De mult nu am mai adaugat nimic nou pe raftul cu carti.

Imagini cu tortul nu am, dar a fost foarte bun, s-a servit si supliment, iar fructele au fost pe alese.

Multumes people, sunteti draguti, ok, ar cam trebui sa ma pregatesc si eu putin ca acusi ne intalnim, bem azi, Darc again, Yey!

I must recognize that I once had a fetish for clouds. Anything I made had to have at least a little cloud on it. I don’t know why I did it. It helped me when I saw I was not alone, there is nothing wrong with me, it’s just a innocent design trend. I propose here a list of 10 great clouds themed websites, maybe you know most of there form the css galleries. If not, enjoy:

 

 

 

 

Pretty nice websites, huh?

If you want to create something similar, you will need to grab some Photoshop “Clouds” brushes. Internet’s garden is large when it comes to Photoshop Brushes. Where we can find these, the new “first stop” for such resources is www.brusheezy.com, yeah, stupid name, cool brushes. Ok, you won’t have to browse it this time, cause i already did it and make a bucket of clouds resources here for you. Just see what it fits for your needs and enjoy.

I think these brushes here are enough for a play around. If you feel like you need more than these ones, you can browse the web for more resources, and what I recommend is www.deviantart.com, www.sxc.hu for high-res stock images, again www.brusheezy.com and I am sure there are many more, but i think this ones are the most popular and important. You will sure find what you are looking for.

You can also learn more about this “fetish” for clouds in web design, by reading the article on Design Meltdown and see the other sites that they are refering to. Design Meltdown is also a great inspiration gallery, a learn center, a resource point as well and why not a mush have bookmark.

It seems that clouds are not just an nice web 2.0 trend or element, it’s an old symbol in art as designer jason lui from China says: It is easy to find the symbol that representing clouds or mist in traditional Chinese paintings, furnitures, sculptures and architectures. This symbol expresses the ideal prospect of ancient Chinese thinkers: relax like celestials in the heaven and over the clouds. Like monks living in the deep forest: calm and peaceful. For this design, I used this symbolic mean and let people have a peaceful morning with refresh coffee, to be a short period celestial, before they get into the busy works.

Hope you found this post useful and you’ll come back for more.
