Much to the dismay of many, selfies are one of the most popular and commonly uploaded types of images on the web. Ever since the introduction of cameras on phones, and the growth in social media profiles, people have desired to have a variety of pictures to use as their profile pictures.

Bread, along with rice in Asia and corn in the Americas, is one of the staple foods that developed early on in human existence, primarily in Europe. Bread consists of a mix of flour (from grains) and water, crafted into a dough and then often baked. Breads vary by the flour type, the ratio of flour to water, the baking times, and the dough preparation, but most breads share common characteristics and the development of bread allowed humans to form established towns and societies through farming as opposed to hunter/gatherer lifestyles. Bread is a food that photographs well, especially fresh from the oven, and is used in preparing all sorts of dishes for food photographers to capture: Czech Bread By Jana Maleckova Close-up of traditional bread By Roman Tsubin Chicken sandwich By Mirage Gourmand Ready for lunch.- By Pablo Reinsch Bread By Afsin Çelik Mouse By flx 8202 Dont eat… just look By Tudor Calin Danish baking By aristotle Kallis Turkey Sandwich By Denise Torres Cob Loaf By Dan Grannum Healthy Vegetarian Veggie Sandwich By Brent Hofacker Loaf of multigrain bread By Elena Elisseeva Hearty Breakfast Sandwich on a Bagel By Brent Hofacker the Kid By Murat Ozcelik Still life with bread and milk By Svetlana L Sunflowers By Eleonora Grigorjeva Village baker By janini (Zhana Topchieva) Lunchtime… By Els Baltjes Baking bread By George Doupas Sandwich with plum jam By Shaiith Tea sausage By Christian Fischer A group of people sitting at a table….

In the world of fashion, being eyecatching is the name of the game. While obviously some aspects of clothing design are about functionality and wearability, for the higher end fashion houses, it’s all about making a visual statement. If you’ve ever seen a fashion runway show, you know how impractical many of the outfits are, but they are designed to be eyecatching and create visual hype regarding a brand. This holds true when carried over to the world of web design in fashion as well. One way to catch a user’s eye is with video on a website, as the eye naturally will watch the motion. Here’s some examples in fashion web design: Adidas Danner Bonobo House of Borel Piaget Reebok Dick’s Sporting Goods Lanificio Ricceri Joe San Michela Rigucci Related Posts Fashion and Beauty Web Designs Stunning Fashion Web Designs 30 Chic Fashion Photographs 10 Fun Photoshop Tutorials from 2014 Flat Agency Web Designs to Inspire You

Caves are natural formations caused by the hollowing of rock (usually by means of water flow) that extend into the Earth itself. Caves are home to a variety of creatures not found elsewhere on Earth, and they have been used as forms of shelter for years. Exploring caves can be dangerous, due to the lack of light, unpredictable terrain, potential predators, and the risk of cave-ins, but many people enjoy exploring caves in a recreation known as spelunking. Caves have naturally beautiful formations that are created by moving water and deposits of sediment, and because they restrict light from entering fully, they can be dramatic subjects for photographers: Soreq Cave By Mauro Silva The Jaws of Winter - Lake Superior By Michael Treloar Into the shadows By Richie Johns st. beatus caves By Roman Burri Caves Beach By George Rath Buderim State Forest Waterfall in Detail By Roger Harrison Frozen Waterfalls By Krzysztof Hanusiak Ice Cave By Viktor Posnov Caves Beach Sunrise By Robert Downie Vietnam By Brian Horsey An Icy Adventure By Michael Matti Jomblang Cave By Felix Erman Yudi Under The Ledge By Mark Lucey Cave "Nartaa" By Yaroslav Belousov Revelation By Örvar Atli Þorgeirsson Peek to Heaven By Esmée Prexus Into the void By Matej Zalokar "Prohodna" Cave, Bulgaria By Veliko K.

While traditional print books may have lost some ground to PDFs, ebooks and other online media, they are still a major part of media and textual content in the world. However, because of the competitiveness in the editorial, printing and book industries, it’s more important than ever to have your book stand out, so that people will pick it up and read it. One of the best ways (aside from having great content) to entice readers to check out your book is with great book cover or packaging design that lures the reader in or makes them want to see more.

Concrete is one of the most important materials in modern building. It’s created using a composite of coarse particle materials and a cement or binding agent to hold it together. It’s commonly used in the construction of roads, bridges, and buildings. Concrete has a unique appearance and finish to it, but can vary depending on the materials used, and has been available in some natural forms for a long time and is still surviving in Roman structures today, but reinforced concrete was introduced in 1849 and took concrete to being one of the premier construction materials. Because of its ubiquity, concrete is often visible in photographs in ways, shapes and forms: Squares, circles, trapezoids.
