Tell us about the grid-system you use. Why does it work?

Ever since the very start of my career as a logo designer, I’ve always aimed to create symmetrical and naturally balanced designs. I love the idea of discovering a symbol that communicates the appropriate message without feeling overly complex.

My show, "Cross Country" is up at the HEP through 10/3 with the reception happening tonight.

The watercolor painting has a reputation for lightness. It’s a casual endeavor, done in scenic outdoor surroundings on sunlit days. Watercolors are the choice of weekend hobbyists or children unready for messier materials. Watercolors, in other words, are often treated as unserious. But for a couple hundred years, they served a very serious purpose. In addition to being a portable medium with an expansive range, watercolors’ ease made them the primary means of making documentary images before photography completely took over this function by the turn of the 20th century when portable consumer cameras became a reality.

Creative Commons has officially launched CC Search, a search engine that indexes over 300 million images from 19 image collections, "including cultural works from museums (the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Cleveland Museum of Art), graphic designs and art works (Behance, DeviantArt), photos from Flickr, and an initial set of CC0 3D designs from Thingiverse." All of the indexed images are in the public domain and released under Creative Commons licenses--meaning the images are generally free to use in a non-commercial setting.

Here are some approaches that we think will work well in almost any project:

A curated collection of dark UI to inspire you in your product design process.
Even more examples of dark UI could be found on our amazing visual search.

As a writer, there are two basic instructions I take from the journals:

1) Take long walks. Get out. Try to arrange your life in a way that you can get out for longer than you even think you can.

2) Go home and write in your journal about what you saw and heard and felt and thought about.

The number of museums that have made their collections available online whole, or in part, has grown exponentially and shows no signs of slowing.

Here we’ll look at how to create a tribute poster, using typography, colors and grids which are trademarks of the Bauhaus style. This is a great all-round introduction to poster design in InDesign for beginners.

The opportunity to see all of Van Gogh’s bedroom paintings in one place may have passed us by for now—an exhibit in Chicago brought them together in 2016. But we can see the original bedroom at the yellow house in Arles in a virtual space, along with almost 1,000 more Van Gogh paintings and drawings, at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam's site. The digitized collection showcases a vast amount of Van Gogh’s work—including not only landscapes, but also his many portraits, self-portraits, drawings, city scenes, and still-lifes.

No characteristic better embod­ies the majesty and diversity of birds than their ostentatious display of color.
