Judith Ann Braun's Fingers Are Magical
With an art career spanning more than three decades, Judith Ann Braun has tested the limits of her artistic musculature. She began as a self-described “realistic figure painter,” and worked through the struggles common to anyone who endeavors upon an artistic pursuit, that of searching for one’s own voice in the chosen medium. Fast forward to the 21st century where the evolution of Braun’s work has brought us to the Fingerings series, a collection of charcoal dust landscapes and abstracts “painted” using not brushes but her fingertips. Braun has a specific interest in symmetry, as evidenced by the patterns she follows in a number of the Fingerings pieces as well as work in the Symmetrical Procedures collection. Her fingerprints are obvious up close in some of the paintings, though a step back and the grandeur of Braun’s imagination sprawls into a landscape of soft hills, overhanging trees, delicate florals, and a reflective waterway.

Blog : #NewTwitter’s Divine Proportions
“To anyone curious about #NewTwitter proportions, know that we didn’t leave those ratios to chance,” explains Twitter’s Creative Director, Doug Bowman, referring to the site’s recent revamp. The two-pane layout remains the basis for the redesign, but the new proportions are based on an age-old mathematical constant that – applied correctly – can result in some of the most effective, perfectly balanced, and visually compelling creations. The Golden Ratio – also known as the Divine Proportion – is represented by the calculated number 1.6180339887, and denoted by the Greek letter Phi (Φ). It is all around us, in nature, science, art, architecture and even music – from nautilus shells to spiral galaxies, the Parthenon, the Mona Lisa, and Bartok’s Music For Strings, Percussion & Celesta. It is ingrained in our consciousness, causing us to find attractive anything in which the ratio appears by nature or by design. The Golden Ratio is pervasive in graphic design.

Sketchbook Secrets: 50 Beautiful Sketchbook Scans
The sketchbook is—to borrow a term from the new millenniums’ popular discourse—an artist’s BFF. It’s a diary for the visually inclined—a place where artists can most comfortably explore their personal thoughts, work out their visual needs, practice, maintain a visual history, and hopefully create the unpolished work that will eventually lead to amazing work for the world to see. But, sometimes, when we’re lucky, we get to see the process. Below are 50 beautiful sketchbook scans from 35 talented artists. Allen Sutton Mattias Adolfsson

Creating the perfect logo design
“Among the accomplishments of the grammarians can be reckoned a method for paraphrasing Sanskrit in a manner that is identical not only in essence but in form with current work in Artificial Intelligence.” – 1985, NASA researcher Rick Briggs Sanskrit is an ancient language used and documented over 20,000 years ago leading way to the religious belief of Hinduism, the worlds oldest religion. Sanskrit has covered many questions in detail to connect science and spirituality as one. From physics and chemistry to medicine and maths, the language and discoveries made in the time of Sanskrit have been astonishing. Its even considered that the technological advancements and discoveries made today are simply reinventions of those made previously via the Sanskrit. It wasn’t just the formidable top three subjects that it covered (Science, English Maths) it also made great progress in the development of todays industry of graphic design.
