Industrial Design Inspiration: Lotus Esira

abduzeedo — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 06:42:06 +0000

We love industrial design, it is everywhere, every object was conceived with a goal in mind. That goal, most of the time, is achieved through the design. We have also learned to admire beautiful industrial design work, especially the first phases of the creative process and prototyping. Jack Lamburn's Lotus Esira Concept exemplifies all of this and that's why we would like to share with you here in this post.

Jack Lamburn is a designer at James Park Associates. JPA work all over the world focusing their design output on commercial aircraft interiors, airport lounges and hotel interiors.

Illustration Inspiration by 23Alan

abduzeedo — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 11:46:45 +0000

Yesterday I came across this beautiful illustration tweeted by a friend of mine and great designer, Everaldo Coelho, and the illustratio was from another Brazilian. I decided to find out more about him and ended up visiting his Flickr page. The guy I'm talking about is Alan Rodrigo Lourenço also known as 23Alan. Alan is a graphic designer based in Jaraguá do Sul, Brazil and his work is beautiful, especially the sketches and illustrations in my opinion, but he also has some great toy arts.

So in this post I will share with you some of 23Alan's illustrations. For more information about him check out his Web site at http://a23alan.daportfolio.com/ or his Flickr page at http://www.flickr.com/photos/fotoilustracao/

Orchestra book cover design

Brief: to create a coffee table book. entitled Orchestra, your design does not have to be the entire book, but can simply be the front and back cover. The book cover can be anything you want as long as it en-captures and aspect of the word Orchestra. Important points to remember would be that the cover is a wrap around. This is to say that the cover is ongoing all the way round, so your design must fit in with this. The dimensions of the book cover are 305 mm, by 255 mm.

55 Inspiring Fashion Sketches & Illustrations

GisMullr — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 15:17:14 +0000

I simply love fashion and many things surrounding it, specially fashion sketches and illustrations! I really like browsing around looking for nice and inspiring fashion sketches. I think that fashion illustrations are extremely beautiful, elegant, delicate... they transmit a good vibe. I'm not sure why they enchant me this much, but I just can't get tired of fashion sketches. And this is exactly why I decided to put this selection together.

All of the images I will show here I found at deviantART, so click at the images to go to the author's page. They have lots of great stuff to show. And in case you also like this kind of subject, let me know and I will write more about it! Enjoy. =)

From the Imagination of a Child

Francisco — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 18:41:39 +0000

This is a very interesting and down-right cool concept. Artist/Illustrator Dave Devries takes the doodles and sketches of very young kids and realizes them into fully fleshed 3-dimensional illustrations using color, texture, and shading. It makes me want to dig out my old drawings that I did when I was 5 and see how they would look. He's published a book, does Gallery shows, lectures, and more. Check out some samples below.

The Monster Engine

The Monster Engine is a book, a demonstration, lecture and a gallery exhibition. The premise for all three came from one single question: What would a child’s drawing look like if it were painted realistically?

It began at the Jersey Shore in 1998, where my niece Jessica often filled my sketchbook with doodles. While I stared at them, I wondered if color, texture and shading could be applied for a 3D effect. As a painter, I made cartoons look three dimensional every day for the likes of Marvel and DC comics, so why couldn’t I apply those same techniques to a kid’s drawing? That was it... no research, no years of toil, just the curiosity of seeing Jessica’s drawings come to life.

The book is a 48-page collection of drawings, paintings, photos and interviews. The book’s preface explains, in depth, the history, intentions and results of this seven-year project

Super Cool Odosketch Drawings

amanda — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 11:24:05 +0000

I was introduced to Odosketch early this summer and whenever I had nothing to do, I'd go on it to draw and fool around. What's awesome about it is that when you're done sketching, you not only have the drawing but you also have a playback that recreates your drawing from a blank canvas using your exact strokes and techniques! For those of you unfamiliar...

Odosketch is a flash drawing application created by Odopod, a digital agency in San Francisco. Create sketches, watch sketches replay, or simply view recent and our favorite featured illustrations.

I can spend hours sitting there just watching people draw all day, so at least through Odosketch I don't have to be a creep about it and stare at the person, but instead I can watch the little playback of their creative process! It's also really awesome to get to know different drawing styles and techniques and how to do them! Anyway, here are a few examples of some drawings people did using the application. Don't forget to click on the drawing to see the playback! :D Let me know what you think via twitter or facebook and share your sketches with us in the comments!
