Google Visual Assets Guidelines - Part 1 on Behance
Google’s brand is shaped in many ways; one of which is through maintaining the visual coherence of our visual assets. In January 2012, expanding on the new iconography style started by Creative Lab, we began creating this solid, yet flexible, set of guidelines that have been helping Google’s designers and vendors to produce high quality work that helps strengthen Google’s identity. What you see here is a visual summary of the guidelines, divided into two Behance projects: Google design style: Executive Creative Director: Chris Wiggins Graphic Designers: Jesse Kaczmarek, Nicholas Jitkoff, Jonathan Lee, Andy Gugel, Alex Griendling, Christopher Bettig, Jefferson Cheng, Roger Oddone, Yan Yan, Zachary Gibson Guideline design: Art Director / Team Manager: Christopher BettigSenior Graphic Designer / Project lead: Roger OddoneDesigners: Alex Griendling, Christopher Bettig, Jefferson Cheng, Roger Oddone, Yan Yan, Zachary GibsonContributors: Web Studio, Brand Team, Creative Lab
Create a Fantasy City Using Architectural Photographs
Because matte painting often involves combining several photos to achieve an end-result, matte paintings can be great practice for anyone who wants to learn how to create photo manipulations. In this tutorial, we will show you how to create a fantasy city that is built on a rock structure, similar to Minas Tirith from "The Lord of the Rings." In the process, you will learn several techniques to help you incorporate architectural photos into your artwork. Let's get started! Before you begin, watch this amazing speed art video that shows the entire process of creating this artwork. The following assets were used during the production of this tutorial. First, open one of the resource images. Select the Magic Wand Tool. Click on the sky until you've selected all of it. Be sure to check the tool settings to improve your selection. Now let us go into Refine Edge to get a better selection. Depending on the image you might want to play around with the Edge Dedection settings.
La guía de estilo de Google
Navegando por Behance me encontré un muy buen proyecto del diseñador brasileño Roger Oddone en el cuál nos muestra parte de la guía de estilo de Google. Es bastante interesante ver este proyecto (dividido en dos partes) para tener un excelente ejemplo de que elementos y detalles se tienen que cuidar cuando quieres uniformizar el estilo gráfico de una marca tan grande como Google y sus cientos de productos y servicios.

Colectivo de la A a la X
Tunea tu Huerto es una instalación dentro del proyecto de "regalos urbanos" que propuso lagaleriamagadalena en el marco del Festival de Arquitectura y Urbanismo EME3. El sábado 30 de junio, en la calle Brosolí con Banys Vells se colocaron 100 paquetitos de semillas para que las personas los llevaran a casa y plantaran su propio huerto. Pero de ellas creceran plantas muy especiales pues todas eran semillas "tuneadas" por la gente que colaboró con sus ideas al respondernos "si tuvieras una semilla... ¿de que sería? De amor, de comprensión, de salud, de orgasmos múltiples, de teletransportación, de valor, de intuición, de funcionarios felices.... tantas cosas que quisieramos que hubiera más en este mundo! Al menos por este día, los curiosos que se acercaron pudieron ver que todos, a pesar de nuestras diferencias, compartimos los mismos deseos. Idea original: Colectivo de la A a la X Propuestas de semillas por: amigos, conocidos y gente linda que aportó su creatividad.
What Font Is Your City?
Embed Infographic: How do you pick one thing to represent an entire city? It’s difficult. But like we said above, we studied our chosen cities and made a case for each font choice. Before we get into the details, we’ll explain our process. How We Did It This project was a team effort. Here’s what we came up with: New York, NY New York is known for many things, but chief among them is its leading position in both the fashion and business world. Chicago, IL When we saw Thirsty Rough, we immediately knew this was the font for Chicago. Phoenix, AZ Phoenix is hot and bright, so it comes as no surprise that it’s nickname is “The Valley of the Sun.” Columbus, OH Home of one of the most storied football programs in the country, Columbus is a tried and true football city. Boise, ID Boise is known for its trees, giving it a direct connection to nature that most cities lack. Memphis, TN The home of the blues, Memphis is in touch with its own nature. Charleston, SC Kansas City, MO San Francisco, CA
