You all are very well aware of the reactions used on Facebook along with ever-famous 'like' feature. Since early this year Facebook launched their re-designed 'like' feature to let their users engage with more feelings. It's been used aggressively since then, at-least those who actually know about them, or know how to use them. Well, it's been a good journey with knowing the new features they add timely to keep everyone engaged more & more. It's indeed a good tool from marketing point-of-view for many firms to keep releasing such features for carrying fresh relations with end-user. You already know The Set of 6...Since early this year users can not only 'like' a post, as-well show their 'love', 'laugh' out loud with 'Haha', show excitement and be amazed using 'Wow', may display that they are 'Sad' and get 'Angry' as they may feel to do so. Just general reactions in Cute Animated Emoticons. And so what they might be coming up with, during halloween...They will have a slightly glossier 'love', a witch laughing out loud on a naughty joke, a ghost who's amazed to see 'you' perhaps, a saddened green Frankenstein and an angry pumpkin, maybe he's angry coz someone carved out all the stuffings. All nicely done. 👍🏻 I like using reactions, and certainly I would, as a user, feel small updates like these, will surely have other users stay involved and curious to see what might be there in future, a trick or a treat? Either-ways, there are many who really get excited for such tiny updates. May be there will be another set for Christmas? well I am looking forward to seeing these set-of-6 Reactions in action.Kudos to designer(s) who worked on these. Keep up the great work. Cheers!

Graffiti - ɡrəˈfiːti/ This form of art has been there since mid 19th century, but as experts say, its there since ancient times, where our ancestors used to make them on walls with charcoal and other traditional medias. Now it has become another way for artists to earn, since the evolution of' how to utilise graffiti for marketing' began.
Here are a few creative use of graffiti. Talent is raining on these brilliant artworks. Kudos to the artist, do point me towards the right artist, so I can credit him/her. Hey all, well to begin with since this is for September and I personally find September a month of self exploration month and a almost change of season. I really wanted to share something interesting enough for what can really differentiate between a real designer and an amateur. If you can't understand these examples, then seriously, take your hired designer more seriously or just change your profession. Cheers.
It's mostly all about silhouettes. For the Dezign Inzpiration issue 7 I'll focus on Silhouettes one of the many forms of art I love to play with in design as well in my drawings, Silhouette is an all-time favourite. What makes it one of the most recognized forms of art is the fine detailing and intricate aesthetics. For those who don’t know what a ‘silhouette’ is… In simple terms it's any image represented as a solid shape of a single color (usually black) against a lighter coloured background. We can define silhouette as a filled outline of any person, animal, object or scene, only more detailed while its interior is featureless and in solid color. For a better understanding, a very simple example to explain silhouette is shadow theatre. In this particular form of theatre the artists perform behind a screen and not in front of it. Either flat articulated figures (shadow puppets) are used to create cut-out figures which are held between a source of light and a translucent screen or the artists themselves act behind the screen to display shadows that tell stories. The cut-out shapes of the puppets are highly detailed and are used to achieve various effects by moving them. The practice of silhouette initially used to create portraits. Prior to the advent of photography, silhouette profiles cut from black card were the cheapest way of recording a person's appearance. It started as a cheap but effective alternative to the portrait miniature, and skilled specialist artists could cut a high-quality bust portrait, by far the most common style and was very popular in the mid-18th century. Here are a few apps for silhouette related functions. And here a few games And some music Though how this word came in existence is a very interesting story.
The word silhouette derives from the name of Étienne de Silhouette, a French finance minister who, in 1759, was forced by France's credit crisis during the Seven Years' War to impose severe economic demands upon the French people, particularly the wealthy. Because of his austere economies, de Silhouette's name became synonymous with anything done or made cheaply and so with these outline portraits. The term silhouette, although existing from the 18th century, was not applied to the art of portrait-making until the 19th century. And since then it has become a great part of many ways. So keep making and innovating how else you can use this cool form. It is always fascinating for me to explore and try to evolve, I am sure every creative thinks alike. So here are all the DD logos designs that I sorta had to check out before I finally felt "This is it!" regardless, I am sure many of the DD logos creatives you may have seen in past or perhaps relate to. The Idea was to simply have the most minimalistic and symbolic logo. As well as this blog shares the next Dezign Inzpiration Issue 5th for this year. As you can see above, how each one f them has a distinct quality and look. yet they all are DDs. Yet, I wanted something that can easily be used any where, be it websites, print, or even sketches, without worrying about it's colors and shape. That should fit right in place with whatever shades that already exist. So I made it some what close to the 3rd in the 4th row. (No.15) and have it flat, no strokes. with a transparency that helps in color flow. And yet it stays classy, exactly how I want my brand to be. So, anywhere and anytime you see DD, DezignerDude to comes in mind.
