Images Worth a Thousand Words – Amazing Illustrations by Sebastián Guerrini

Andra — Tue, 15 May 2012 12:51:52 +0000

In my daily search for new design inspiration, I stumbled upon some of Sebastián Guerrini’s drawings and simply had to share them with you guys. I felt he managed to capture the essence of modern day society, human emotions and spiritual conflicts. His artworks speak volumes and despite the dreary and dismal appearance, they express human emotions quite vividly, with a touch of surrealism and the aesthetics of the ugly. First, we’re going to find out a little more about this gifted designer and then see some samples of his breathtaking work.

Sebastián Guerrini has an impressive educational background: he is a Designer in Visual Communication from Argentina, a graduate in Communication Technologies (Netherlands) and Doctor of Philosophy in Communication and Image Studies at the University of Kent (England). He has worked in the field of analysis and design of Institutional and Corporate Communication in over 20 countries. Among his most famous projects are ones for Amnesty International, UNICEF, UNESCO and the United Nations.

If you aren’t impressed by now, what do you say about the fact that he is the author of the graphical version of the Argentine National Emblem? Furthermore, he designed the brand image of the Museum of Natural Sciences of Argentina and the visual identity of the nation’s Presidency, Ministries and Secretaries of State. Inspiring, huh?

“I strive for my brands to leave a lasting imprint; for my images to speak and for their discourse to define concepts which identities can embrace. Images should speak from the depths of what individuals, companies, and organizations want. Their words should tell stories that are perfectly clear and easy to understand. These brands can take the form of a poster, a web site, or an ad, but they will always be themselves. My goal is to design brands that are committed to what they want to say. They are identities with feeling, color and desire to improve their present.” (Sebastián Guerrini)

This ends today’s showcase of design resources and inspiration, I honestly hope that you’ve enjoyed Sebastián Guerrini’s illustrations as much as I have. In fact, could you pick one as your favorite?

[Infographic] – Typography: Bold and Justified

Andra — Mon, 14 May 2012 09:33:11 +0000

Typography is one of the oldest tricks in the book of design and an essential tool that basically any designer should have up his/her sleeve. It is also general knowledge that there are some fonts that should be avoided at all costs, due to their inappropriate appearance (informal, childish or cursive-style) or to the fact that they’ve been used excessively in the past. Every designer strives to render their project unique and this implies constantly using premium, fresh design resources. This is where this particular infographic comes in and lends a helping hand by offering essential information about font history, design statistics and current trends.

Is there anything that you would add to this typography infographic? Please share your design knowledge with us in the comments section below.

Showcase of 25 Cunning Celebrity Digital Caricatures

Andra — Fri, 11 May 2012 12:52:20 +0000

Caricatures are probably the most graphic way to describe someone, meaning both the most expressive and powerfully linked to the design domain. The significant visual impact, touch of surrealism and transparent humor are more than enough to win anyone over.

With this in mind, I’ve prepared a showcase of vector and photo manipulation celebrity caricatures to inspire us today and set the mood for the weekend. I would like you guys to take a guess on which celebrity is in each illustration and see how many you get right out of the 25.

Digital Caricature Artists

There are numerous renowned digital caricature artists out there and today I’ve chosen to showcase the work of Nico Di Mattia, Russ Cook, Rodney Pike, Guillermo Ramirez and Eduardo la Selva, to name a few. The internet, the increasingly powerful blogging tools and social media have all enabled designers to create and promote digital portfolios, plus gain notoriety and prospective clients.

All the above mentioned artists have different styles, but manage to convey their message and vision and somehow influence the way a certain person is perceived. Probably the most interesting aspect of caricatures is that they are able to illustrate both physical and moral traits, despite people’s general impression.

Caricature and Body Language

For example, the size of the eyes, the shape and position of the eyebrows, the form of the mouth can all be strong indicators of a person’s state and respectively his or her nature. Of course, if we deepen in the realm of body language, much more can rise through the surface. As a fun exercise, take a closer look at each illustration and try to pinpoint an adjective to describe the person’s state.

Graphic design is such a vast domain, in which numerous other fields reflect and even gain momentum. The high level of detail allows the artist to shift the attention in the direction of his choice and this particular drawing style is probably the most appropriate example of this phenomenon.

Which caricature do you think best captures the respective celebrity’s essence? And concerning the small exercise I proposed earlier, I would be very interested in finding out which state you would attribute to each of the characters or how many of the celebrities you guessed right. Please let us know in the comments section below.
