Random Gradients vol. 2

noreply@blogger.com (A u d e e) — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 05:22:00 +0000

It was started as experimental small project back then, and the result was a set of Random Gradients vol. 1 as part of Graphic Identity's Free Design Box post series. It's about time I share another set of Photoshop Random Gradients vol. 2.

Even they are randomized in colors, I decided to make simplified gradient set without too much effects since I think it will be more applicable to your design. There are 100 gradients included and they're free to download.

20 Penguin Logo Designs Inspiration

noreply@blogger.com (A u d e e) — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 01:55:00 +0000

Penguin is cute, penguins is a unique kind of a bird. :D As aquatic birds, the tuxedoed penguins have the ability to dive and hunt at ocean depths where no other bird can go. But today we won't discuss about that further :D

Beside the popularity and trend of Owl logo designs, I just want to show you, that Penguin can also be nicely visualized as a logo design. Not so clear why some companies choose Penguin as their mascot identity. One of the reason is maybe because of the penguin's ability to adapt in some extreme environments. Here are some handpicked of 20 Penguin Logo Designs for your inspiration, which were taken from various logo galleries and logo marketplaces.

“the fifth element” by Tom Whalen

I got a (Prospect) Dribbble account yesterday and has been liking many number of dribbbled designs made by the amazing players over there.
One of all star Dribbble players I stumbled upon was Tom Whalen of StrongStuff.net. A great illustrator who has designed lots of colorful poster related to movies or comic characters. The poster designs are often implement retro color scheme or style but how Tom composing illustration figures, textures and typography is definitely clever! I enjoy myself surfing StrongStuff on Tumblr and reblogged one of Tom Whalen's infography-illustration poster: "Ghostbusters" as I'm a (probably the only one) fan of Slimer :-p

4 Fanciful Sans Serif Fonts Created by Nymphont

noreply@blogger.com (A u d e e) — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 13:32:00 +0000

I've been a fan of Nymphont's works and previously I used one of them for a business card template: Coffee Latte Card. Glad that I have time to publish a new post today. I put more attention to series of Lauren's experiments in sans-serif. Classic and fancy but they are still looking modern with clean geometric line. Here are just few of reasons why I love Nymphont's fonts and I hope you would enjoy our post featuring The 4 Fanciful Sans Serif Fonts created by Lauren Thompson of Nymphont.

Read More

Jolly Font Family
Free for personal use

Joly looks lovely with some amount of height. I think the perfect kerning, made it appears like this set of font is slightly condensed (to note that particular height). Another uniqueness is probably the bowl you see in small caps, like: 'a, b, and d' which have different roundy curve in the upper and bottom part for each font. I personally love the beauty of the 'J' caps, and all characters type of 'S,V, and W'.
I think it has the potential to use in paragraph text. It has uniform stroke which gives cleaner feel. It looks simple, friendly and feminine at the same time. I'm not sure if you are agree with me on this :)

LT Oksana
Free for personal use

Lauren has been very proud of this LT Oksana, and I couldn't agree with her more! It's one of her best work :) Since its first debut in 2008, it is now updated with kerning revisions and improvements as LT Oksana Version 4.0. Lauren described it as a 'retro' geometric-sans. I would also say that it has Art Deco look. Geometric aspect is what Lauren has explored for this set of font. 'K, Q, and W' uppercases just to name a few. The 'g' two stories lowercase is super smart with an opening at the left side of the loop ;) The low placement of crossbar for 'f and t' smallcaps are just making them more fancy. I also love the look of LT Oksana's ampersand. Lauren has made excellent demo by using this font for the headings element at Nymphont blog.

Champagne & Limousines
Free for personal use

Classic, clean and elegant is the first impression to say. Champagne & Limousines is my favorite Nymphont's sans-serif font. The letters appear once again with geometric shape, and roundy feel. Probably as a result of minimum height of descender or ascender on some fonts but without over-doing it. Champagne & Limousines Bold with sharp edges on 'A, M, N, V and W' caps (as well as the lowercase), is another beauty of this font which make it more legible for display text purpose.

Caviar Dreams
Free for personal and commercial use

Caviar Dreams was actually designed before Champagne & Limousines. But officially published after the first release of Champagne & Limousines. Yes, they are slightly looking similar. But what has differentiated them is their letter-spacing. Caviar Dreams has more pleasant letter-spacing in order to give different looks in various use. Several letter shapes are unconventionally designed. You can start to check the lowercase angled 'e' and also figure the neat curves in letter 'w' lowercase as well as the uppercase. In my personal opinion, Caviar Dreams is the casual version of Champagne & Limousines ;)

NOTE:
Getting ready for your commercial design project? I highly recommend Nymphont fonts featured here. It is also important for you to appreciate Lauren's talent and hardwork by sending donation when you decide to use it for commercial project.
Give a time to check other fonts created by Nymphont

Neon Font Effect Photoshop Actions

noreply@blogger.com (A u d e e) — Sat, 18 Sep 2010 09:10:00 +0000

Recently I followed a cool screencast tutorial on Abduzeedo.com : Super Easy Neon Style in Photoshop and gave a quick try.

The final result is beautiful and I like the possibility in adjusting colors before and after you hit the play button on Photoshop Actions panel. Actually it was a very easy tutorial, which I am sure everyone can easily follow just like I did. But with the series of settings on the tutorial, which you may miss them in some points to produce the neon font effect make me think to create a set of Photoshop Actions. I made 3 variants after I played a bit with the settings from that tutorial and now you can download it for free.

See the demo-screencast below to use the photoshop action. Feel free to ask me questions or send feedbacks via our comment form.
