Looking for some inspiring and appealing vexel illustrations? Here you go. Today we present probably one of the most distinguished forms of art. Basically, Vexel is the combination of two words; “Vector” and “Pixel”, and can be defined as the pixel-based form of digital art that emulates the vector graphics technique, but is different from normal vector graphics or raster images.

Vexel designs can be composed by using multiple layered shapes and can be done with any image editing software that has a good pen tool like the one used in Photoshop. Here we are presenting a collection of beautiful female vexel illustrations. We hope that you like them and will be inspired by it. If you like the artwork of a particular artist, feel free to explore more by clicking on the images which lead to artists’ websites.

XXXX Summer

In: web resources

19 Jan 2010

One more beer packaging from Didonato:

“The XXXX Summer Bright Lager brand evolved from an innovation program designed to establish a new brand within the full strength low-carbohydrate Australian market. The coastal attitude and relaxed style of the identity and packaging has been inspired by the authenticity of the XXXX Trademark. XXXX has a strong affiliation with Summer in Australia and what better way to celebrate Australian lifestyle than a beer brewed specifically for a hot climate and an energised beach culture.

The design is original and hand illustrated, inspired by Australian beach, and beach culture aesthetic – informal, warm and unconventional. True to the XXXX values and approach to life, the identity narrative brings to life a positive reflection of life – playing under the great Australian sun.

The technical merits of the packaging feature a bottle with a high-build textured varnish (representative of sand) on a pressure sensitive label.”

TechStars Boulder Now Accepting Applications For Summer Mentorship Program

In: web resources

14 Jan 2010

If you procrastinated on applying for TechStars Boston and missed Monday night’s deadline but still want to attend a TechStars event, their summer program in Boulder, Colorado is now accepting applications.

TechStars is a highly competitive funding and mentoring program based in Boston, Boulder and Seattle that helps young startups jump-start their businesses. Their impressive list of over 50 mentors includes Wordpress founder Matt Mullenweg, venture capitalist Fred Wilson and Foundry Group director Brad Feld.

This summer’s program will be the fourth class of companies to go through the Boulder program, and if last year’s class is any example of how things will go this year, big possibilities await applicants. TechStars founder and CEO David Cohen announced last November that six of the 10 companies from the 2009 Boulder class closed investment deals with venture capital firms.

One disadvantage Boulder applicants face is that any unselected applications from the Boston program are automatically rolled over into the Boulder applications, making the selection more competitive. The same thing will happen in Seattle, which means Seattle applicants will be ultimately vying for spots against the Boston and Boulder rejects.

The deadline to apply for this summer’s Boulder program is Monday, March 22 at midnight Mountain Standard Time. Seattle applications open the following day.
