Hu2 is a London-based company comprised of four crazy dudes (and one dudette!). They have some simply awesome ideas when it comes to creative uses of vinyl. Flicking through their online catalogue, we’re reminded of some of Banksy’s pieces, which we really dig here at Abduzeedo.

Vinyl wall decals are often overlooked but they’re a really simple and creative solution to playing up a boring wall. Why not try trading in the paint and wallpaper and get your hand on some of these fun decals. They can be used on any smooth flat surface and are completely removable, leaving no mark or residue behind. Take a look at the collection we gathered for you here today and get inspired to do something fun with your walls!

ECO REMINDERS

Let the images do the talking …

BEDROOM

Hu2 Stickers can be used on any smooth flat surface such as windows, mirrors, doors, floors, fridges and walls. Please note walls with wall-paper are not suitable for vinyl stickers if you wish to avoid damage upon removal!

BATHROOM

As this is one of my first posts on Abduzeedo I decided to write a quite unconventional one. I’m a regular reader of Abduzeedo since about a half year – I’ll never regret – but articles about printed mediums are pretty rare on Abduzeedo. So, in this post I’ll show you some newspaper designs that are great in my opinion. Also, there’s a great video from the TED Talks by Jacek Utko on how design can save newspapers.

If you know other newspapers with great design don’t hesitate in sharing with us. Leave a comment linking some photos so we can take a look at them.

Die Presse am Sonntag

I’m Austrian, therefore it’s pretty normal to subscribe to an Austrian newspaper. “Die Presse am Sonntag ” is the sunday edition of the daily paper “Die Presse”.

They have a great layout and quality journalism, but the sunday edition is even better designed:

Country: Austria
Circulation: about 270.000
http://www.diepresse.com

Hartford Courant

Since many years the Hartford Courant is constantly among the world’s best designed newspapers. I think that especially the typography is awesome.

Country: USA
Circulation: about 250.000
http://www.courant.com/

The Rzeczpospolita

The Rzeczpospolita won an award at the 27th competition of newspaper design of the SND (Society of Newspaper Design). In my opinion this newspaper really deserved this award, although the whole design’s quite conservatie and traditional.

Country: Poland
Circulation: about 200.000
http://www.rp.pl/

Dubai Xpress

A very new (launched in 2007), clear structured magazine.

Country: UAE
Circulation: 80000-10000, weekly
http://gulfnews.com/about-gulf-news/al-nisr-portfolio/xpress

Chicago Sun-Times

The redesigned look of a popular daily paper in Chicago. In my opinion, the standard of the content is debatable, the design isn’t.

Country: USA
Circulation: about 310.000
http://www.suntimes.com/index.html

The Virginian Pilot

There’s nothing to say about this design, except: Absolutely awesome.

Country: USA
Circulation: about 200.000
http://pilotonline.com/

The Guardian

And, last, but definitely not least, maybe world’s best designed newspaper.

Country: UK
Circulation: about 330.000
http://www.guardian.co.uk

As I have mentioned a few times we are working on an iPhone app for Abduzeedo. We had some small issues that delayed the release but now we are on the right track for the launch. First, however, we want to test it more and with more people.

The first version of the iPhone app will be about inspiration and it will show all images from the Daily Inspiration series. We have already planned the expansion to all the inspiration content on Abduzeedo.

Sneak Peek

Here is a short video showing the basic functionality of the app. Our goal is to provide an easy to use interface for inspiring images, so you can save it on your iPhone or iPod Touch; share it with your friends via Twitter or visit the site for more information.

Looking for some beta testers

We want to release the app as soon as possible, but we want to make sure that it will be running smoothly, that is why we need to test it a little longer. Therefore we are looking for some iPhone/iPod Touch users that would be willing to test it for us.

If you are interested leave a comment and we will be contacting you to get the iPhone Device ID.

One of my new years resolution is to practice and learn more 3D. I’ve been playing with Cinema 4D for quite some time now but never went into much depth. I know it’s going to take some time until I reach the level of the images I’m about show you here, but I’m going to do my best to make the learning process as fun as possible.

So in this post I have selected some remarkable 3D rendered characters from the CGSociety, one of the best sites out there on the subject. There are images from guys from all parts of the globe. Click on the images to go to their pages at CGSociety.org for more details about the work.

I wanted to get motivated to start my endeavor in this uncharted territory, at least for my brain

About the author

My name is Fabio Sasso, I’m a graphic/web designer from Porto Alegre, Brazil and I’m the founder of Abduzeedo. I hope we can share lots of information, tips, and ideas through Abduzeedo. Also you can follow me on Twitter or my personal site at http://fabiosasso.com.

Every new year I like to try new things with the Abduzeedo logo. In 2009 I changed the typography a little bit, but now that it’s 2010 I decided that the blog needed a symbol. That necessity came up when we are finishing the Abduzeedo iPhone app and we needed to have an icon.

So in this tutorial/case study I will show you how I created the symbol and what the inspiration behind it was. We will use Adobe Illustrator for the tutorial

Inspiration

My first idea was to play with a triangle. First because it resembles the abduction light coming from the sky, and second it also resembles an ‘A’.

Of all plane figures the triangle is both rigid and strong, but the beauty of the equilateral triangle reminds us of those lessons necessary to keep our spiritual building both strong and secure, now and forevermore.

Following this idea I looked for references in style. My idea was to create something simple without gradients but with some color overlays. I also didn’t want anything rounded, and instead wanted to try something more acute.

Also, check out our series of articles about logos called Logos A-Z, especially the first one that is for the letter A – http://abduzeedo.com/logo-design-z

Step 1

Open Illustrator and create a new document. The size is not important right now. After that get the Polygon Tool and create a triangle.

Step 2

With the Pen Tool (P) create a point in the middle of the base of the triangle. After that with the Direct Selection Tool (A) select the point and move it up like the image below.

Step 3

Duplicate the triangle twice. After that rotate one of the copies (1). Select 2 of the triangles, the original and the one you rotated and go to Window>Pathfinder. Select the Minus Front option over the Shape Mode, it’s the second. You will have to delete some parts to leave just the ones inside of the original triangle.

Step 4

With the Rectangle Tool (M) create a rectangle like from the bottom left to the center of the base (1). After that with the Pen Tool (P) delete and move to create half of the base of the symbol (2).

Repeat the same process to create the other half of the base. Use the image below for reference.

Step 5

Repeat again the previous step to create the right side.

Step 6

It’s time to make some adjustments, with the Direct Selection Tool (A) move the points to make the symbol a little bit bolder. Use the image below for reference.

Step 7

Now it’s time to add some colors. I used 4 basic colors, pink, yellow, green and cyan (1), the order is very important. After that go to Window>Transparency. Select the all objects and change the Transparency mode to Multiply. By doing that there will be 3 new colors, red, dark green and purple.

Step 8

Create a new document, I used A4 for the size. Then with the Rectangle Tool (M) create a rectangle to fill the whole page. Change the color of the rectangle to (#383434).

Step 9

Copy the symbol from the other document and paste it in the new one with the dark background. As I was using Multiply for the Transparency Mode, the symbol won’t be shown. So, change the Transparency mode back to Normal and change the color of the symbol to white.

Step 10

Now just paste again the color symbolo and align it to be over the white version. That way the colors will be visible.

Conclusion

Now let’s finish the poster adding the logotype "Abduzeedo" with the slogan "abducted by design".

The idea of this little walkthrough was to show you the creative process behind the new symbol we will be using on Abduzeedo now in 2010. We are still working on some new features, so you will start to see this symbol more and more.

Also we will have this poster printed in case you want to support the blog, as well as t-shirts.

Light Effect version

With the icon done I created another version of the poster adding some old school light effects. But this is for the next tutorial.

I love winter! Cuddling up by the fire with loved ones, and maybe a good book and some eggnog too. Oh, and of course watching cute romantic Christmas movies! My favorite If you weren’t able to make it home for Christmas this year and be with the ones you love, just remember to love the ones you’re with. Hope you guys are all keeping warm this holiday season (or keeping cool if you’re in Brazil and the rest of the southern hemisphere.)

Wherever you are, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas, from the Abduzeedo family to yours!

It’s Christmas time and nothing better than changing the desktop wallpaper to celebrate. I’ve been using the wallpaper I created for the last tutorial using Cinema 4D and Photoshop and now I want to share it with you in different resolutions.

If you have a nice Christmas wallpaper that you found or created, share it with us. Leave a comment with the link to the wallpaper.

I wish a Merry Christmas to everyone.
