Typography is used in almost all forms of design, whether it be logo design, graphic design, print design, or web design. Being able to express ideas not only through other design elements, but also through text, is one of the essential skills of a designer. However, it’s not just as simple as putting a basic font with some colored text onto your design. A font must be carefully chosen to match the image and brand that is being presented, it must work well with the other design elements and it must match the overall theme, all while being readable and expressing the proper meaning. Finding the right font can be hard, so I’ve done the legwork for you and gathered up some free fonts I know you’ll love: Oranienbaum Moderne Sans Contemporary Geometric Sans Serif Aqua Grotesque Archive UGO Anson Manteka Boomtown Deco Homestead Related Posts 10 Great Free Fonts from 2011 Adobe Photoshop On the Web 10 High Quality Free Script Fonts Photography, feed icons and brushes 12 Fantastic Fall Photo Tips

Leaves are pretty much all around us. They are some of the most important organs of plants, and are essential to life as we know it, because they help to produce oxygen through photosynthesis and maintain the proper balance of oxygen and other elements in the air. Leaves are organs of plants, that are designed to be exposed to light, and regulate the exchange of CO2, oxygen and water with the surrounding air. Leaves can also store food and water depending on the variety of plant. Leaves have interesting shapes, both macroscopically, and microscopically, and can make for great subjects for abstract photography and art: Leafs Story By Shihya Kowatari Sweet By Shihya Kowatari Sweet By Shihya Kowatari remains by Damian Connell Yellow By Va Sha Mahajan Engineered By Samy Al Olabi Valed By Jackson Carson Winter flower By Shihya Kowatari Veins By Va Sha Mahajan blush By Damian Connell Leaf Skelton By Ceri Jones Skeletal Leaf By Alan Sheers Fragile By Denitsa Dabizheva Coloured leaf Intersected By Samy Al Olabi Delicate & Pink By Anne Costello The one road to nowhere UV a By cornel Lazia Blue Love <3 By Va Sha Mahajan what’s left By Damian Connell When everything is nothing By Eugenia Fateeva Space leaf By Phyllis Rachler Metallicized By MICHAEL GOFFIN The Main Road By Sahar Dawn skeletal By Damian Connell Love story of Summer By Shihya Kowatari Something to Hope By Eugenia Fateeva Leafs Portrait By Shihya Kowatari Leaf By Kevan O’Meara Color By Stefanie Feldhaus Related Posts The Art of Flour Windows: More than Just an Opening in Photography Eyecatching Photographs of Green Insects 10 New Years Celebration Photographs Need for No Speed: Slow in Photography

Todays textures are from an old worn down shed by the sea that used to store nets and fishing tools back in the days. The salted sea, winds and weather have corroded the metal plates and time has weakened the concrete foundations. But for us it’s a treasure, and the images can be applied to whatever you can think of. Enjoy the textures and Happy Easter!

There is strength in numbers, two minds are better than one, etc, are all quotes about people coming together and meeting. When most of us think of meetings, we think about the incredibly pointless waste of time meetings at work where nothing is accomplished other than drinking unnecessary amounts of coffee and eating free donuts. However, meetings do have a time and place. When a future couple first meets, the energy between them can be electric. When great minds come together, the problems and challenges of the world can melt away. When long lost siblings meet, the fulfillment of years of longing is almost overwhelming. Meetings can be expressed in a variety of ways in photographs, and here 30 examples of coming together and meeting in pictures: Meeting By Anna Niemiec Welcome in By Didier Guibert Committee Meeting By Ray Huntley The first meeting By umut aydin El saludo By Mariano Belmar meeting By Kittiwut Chuamrassamee Caring & loving meeting By Yvette Depaepe meeting By Radosveta Georgieva Meeting Santa By Jin cho A stranger By Benoit paille meeting By Hans W.

Tumblr is still one of the most popular blogging platforms on the web, even after being acquired by Yahoo, as it’s simple to use, freely hosted and comes with a variety of themes and post options. While most people view Tumblr as just a place to post random tidbits and images, it can be a great source for tutorials, inspiration and quotes (as well as amusing banter). Theming Tumblr isn’t particularly difficult, but it’s different from doing themes for other CMSes like WordPress. Luckily though, there are tons of premade themes available to download and use, both free and premium. One of the best types of themes to use on Tumblr are minimal themes, as they all whatever media content you have to really shine. Here’s some of the best free minimal Tumblr themes you can install: Magnify Ultrazen The Minimalist Maqfee Criss Cross Nocturnal Optica Default Inamine Smart Minimal Related Posts Must Have WordPress Themes for 2014 Left-Aligned WordPress Themes Branding & Identity Design Mockup Templates Login & Signup Form Free PSDs to Download Free Email PSD and HTML Templates

Going slow tends to get a bad reputation. Most of us get frustrated with slow drivers, people who shop slowly and take their time, and in today’s fast paced digital world, slow is one of the worst adjectives that can be applied to a piece of technology. However, there are times when going slow allows you to appreciate the finer qualities of something, savor it, or enjoy it more thoroughly. In photography, slowness as a concept can be interesting to capture, as it’s a form of motion, but it doesn’t work particularly well with slow shutter speed photography or motion photography (unless the concept is to slow something fast down). Capturing it can be either thematic, or by showing something move slowly while everything else moves around it faster. Here’s some examples of slowness in photography: Snail and the raindrop By Vadim Trunov Relax time By Andiyan Lutfi Slow walking By bug eye Slow and low By mario grobenski - psychodaddy Slow Exit By Tyler Coen Slow Progress By Lior Y slow but sure By Shikhei goh Ghost Ship By Brodie Knox Slow and steady By Rahul Tripathi Slowly By sara aghapoor Slow Motion By Octavianus Darmawan Slow but sure By Andiyan Lutfi Slow transport By Ferdinando valverde Slow Water By Frank Jensen Slowely but surely By Tomasz Trzebiatowski The Killer By Richard Peters People Come and Go By Marco Soggetto Floating slowly By Evans Lazar alongshore By Andrey Narchuk Slow but sure By Andiyan Lutfi Feeding Time By Andiyan Lutfi Ouuugh…so hard By Andiyan Lutfi Slowly Melting Away By Marina Garrido Golden Rush Hour By Evgeny Tchebotarev Slow and Steady By Barath Ganesh Slow and Steady By Patrick Siau slow n steady win the race By Dharmendra Kumar Fibonacci’s Spiral By Arvin Rahimzadeh it’s been a slow day By Odette Holty oOpS , a snail on the Waves Related Posts Eyecatching Photographs of Green Insects Windows: More than Just an Opening in Photography The Art of Flour 30 Time Themed Photographs Abstract Art in the Simple Leaf

The apocalypse is one of the most popular subjects for film, art, novels, and more. The concept of mass destruction, death and chaos makes for quite a dramatic background for any story. The apocalypse is usually associated with fire, decay, abandonment, chaos, breakdown of government, mass destruction, death, war and the end of the world. Using a combination of digital painting, photography and 3D art, artists are able to create some stunningly (and even scarily) real visions of the apocalypse. Here’s a few of my favorite destruction and apocalypse artworks: Star Trek: Into Darkness by Nick Boes Transformers: Dark Of The Moon, Concept by Akajork Destroyed Bridge by KAMINARIVFX Apocalypse by trainfender The Delta by Alexandre Charleux Untitled by maaquo1 Cataclysm by Wasteland-3D Burning City by de gerardo Apocalypse Now by Adam Varga The Showdown After the Countdown by priteeboy Related Posts Haunting Visions of the Apocalypse in Artworks Branding & Identity Design Mockup Templates Mind Blowing Matte Paintings for VFX 30 Decadent Chocolate Photographs for Your Valentine Awesome Free Fonts You Should Download
