A little introduction I stumbled upon Hannes’ project via the Go Media Flickr pool and have been hooked since. Now that project is over, Hannes was kind enough to take the time to answer to a few questions about the project and what it may span. In Hannes’ own words, here’s what the ADED project is about: The All Day Everyday Project is something like my graphic design diary. Many designers did similar projects before – designing something cool everyday. And so do I now. When you work for an agency or clients, you’re often not allowed to make things look exactly like you want it – which is sometimes frustrating, but that’s the way it goes.

FOUNDFONT™ tutorial Andy Hayes here from Hucklebuck Design Studio . The subject for this tutorial will revolve around a pet project of mine called FOUNDFONT™ . Foundfont™ is dedicated to typographic archaeology as well as the use of found typography within design. It’s about extracting unique type for specific design needs or creating complete type sets based on found examples. FOUNDFONT™ offers typefaces but also hopes to inspire designers to do their own digging. In this tutorial we’ll talk about what makes a good FOUNDFONT™ source and the steps to creating your own usable vector characters from found samples. Type is where you find it Useful typography is not only found within the bounds of one of today’s successful foundries

Load testing and performance testing are not the same exams. Many people lump them together, believing that they run the same tests. This is not the truth. Although both tests are equally important, you will see how beneficial it can be to run load tests during your products early development. It is quite common for applications to fail, slow-down, and even crash at the first signs of heavy use. This does not make users happy, and will have you losing consumers as well as money on a product that can not perform under pressure.

With a load test, you will have the ability to find problems, and sort out kinks very early in the development. By waiting too long to run these tests, you can end up spending a huge amount of money, rewriting codes, and fixing its structure. It will be critical that you run these test repeatedly so that you can identify problems while changes are still taking place. Prioritize your load test runs during development to reduce high cost fixes. An ideal load test platform will allow you to run tough comprehensive exams so that you can test its efficiency and functionality over and over again.

Finding the perfect web load testing tools will be key. You want a platform that will allow you to trigger faults while simulating heavy users. This web load test is critical so that you can find the vulnerability of your product when being downloaded by many. You should also be able to run exams that will let you know issues like resource exhaustion, endurance, reliability, and transaction failures. This load platform should allow you to run the test as often as you want without having to rewrite the test each time you decide to use it.

There is nothing more important than knowing how your product is going to perform when uploaded. The only way for you to have success is to have an application that functions at the highest level possible at all times. You need to know how fast it will respond, and how it will handle being downloaded simultaneously by many users. It is critical that your load platform will allow you to run tests throughout development, so that you don’t have to waste critical time and money, fixing it in the end. An unstable system can be avoided by performing the most comprehensive tests possible.

Be competitive in the mobile and web application product market by building something that users can easily download and enjoy without any compromising.

Daily Inspiration: Patience

It’s been about 8 months since I launched my first ebook entitled Thread’s Not Dead: The Designer’s Guide to the Apparel Industry . We’ve sold over 1,000 copies of the ebook and we recently celebrated the launch of the hardcover edition . It gives me goosebumps to think of my book sitting on the coffee tables or bookshelves of people across the country and even overseas. I wanted to take a little bit of time to tell the story about how Thread’s Not Dead came to be and hopefully it will inspire you to maybe make your own book or do something you’ve been holding back on. The Conception The idea to write a book came to me after reading Tim Ferriss’ book The Four Hour Workweek . If you’ve read it, you know how appealing he can make some of his suggestions! He makes it sound so easy. From what I recall, “all you had to do” is figure out that specific thing you know a lot about, write the book, and sell it digitally on your website.

The Making of Thread’s Not Dead

Written & Designed by:  Raji Purcell Edited by:  Jon Savage Alex Cornell is a man after my own heart, and one I look up to. A young, modern, renaissance man whose creative branches reach not only to design but to film, photography, writing, music, and entrepreneurship. Alex’s work has an incredible level of cohesiveness that spreads through every medium he touches. His success made all the more sense after listening to his talk, and the great amount of wisdom he had to share. Heres what happened: When introducing himself, Alex told the audience he used to be a psychologist with the goal of becoming a very famous musician. And as many other designers do, he found his way to design through music and bands. He spent a lot of time trying to become a famous musician, and did a lot of design work along the way. In San Francisco he met Scott Hansen and began writing for his design blog ISO50, helping run his studio, and starting a print shop together

Written by: Scott Strohmaier Advertising a car in these hard economic times can be very challenging, so creating a magazine ad that will effectively sell an ambulance might be deemed an impossible task. That is, unless you’re Vetor Zero — an award-winning commercial animation studio in São Paulo, Brazil. When Vetor Zero got the job of helping Fiat sell their ambulances, they knew the ads had to be something special. The car company’s ambulance line was about to be announced in a Brazilian magazine and it was Vetor Zero’s job to help them do it in a way that grabbed people’s attention. Daniel Sian, a 3D generalist/illustrator with Vetor Zero brought the ads to life using a combination of software. Maxon’s Cinema 4D was used for modeling, lighting and rendering. Sculpting was done with Pixelogic’s ZBrush and Photoshop was a key post-production tool

A short introduction This summer I released an eBook called, The Wall: Modern Day Music Posters . It contains some of the posters seen below, with 91 designers contributing some of the best posters of the last 3 to 4 years. But coming up with 100 of the greatest music posters was no easy task. First priority was to narrow the range down and focus on the last half a decade; otherwise it would be impossible to ensure any truly great posters weren’t missed out. There’s no shortage of books available that cover older posters many times over. Secondly, I needed to acknowledge that these will be based on my own opinion and personal taste in poster design. Nonetheless, I had to try not to let my attraction to certain posters be the sole reason they are a part of this list. What is a great poster
