Dear Starbucks

Dear Starbucks,

we know each other for 5 years now and I have to say I still love you like on the first day. You're so inspiring, my dear. A lot of ideas pop out of my head, when we are together. For that I want to thank you very much!
But I was thinking... You see, we meet at least twice a week for hours, which is great, but you give me serious financial problems. I enjoy the time we spend together, but I can't afford it so often.
So, I hope you'll understand if I try to get some distance.. I don't know, if I'm able to do this, but I think it's better for our relationship.

love,
Tom

Tilt Shift

We all love the Tilt Shift! We're so fascinated, how a little adjustment in the sharpness can have such effects.

So we three do a lot of shifting. Here are some of our real-life-miniature-pictures :)

FUN - Inspired by rawz

David and me were sitting in a nice café and wanted to create something. So we opened Illustrator and thought of some styles… We really love the Abdzeedo Rawz logo and decided to make something in that style. 

We needed a short word, to make the typo look more like the original. FUN seemed great, because everybody likes fun. 

Here's what we got for the main shape:

As you can see, the rawz logo has those little lines inside the letters, so the next step was to create those. We made them a bit thicker, because we just wanted to get away from the original, so it won't be like copy and we liked those thicker lines.

And with that, the typo was done. Now we had to make a cool picture out of it. A modern style seemed good. We thought of a appropriate background and ended up with this:

But for this style, we didn't like the yellow anymore, so we changed it to a bright neonish blue. Both shapes, the black and the blue, got a blue outer glow. And so we were done.

Musee d' Orsay

Another tilt-shift effect picture. This time from the Musee d' Orsay in Paris.

uninspired?

Well guys, I have to types of being uninspired:

1. No ideas, no motivation (well, just don't do anything)
2. Motivation, no ideas (crap, and now? Sitting in front of an empty file for an hour...)

I just found out, if I'm motivated, I should do something. It's amazing, how this actually works.

So I opened Illustrator and thought. I decided to make some typography. Well it started with this: 

And I liked it, so I continued with the other letters and modified them a bit. And soon it became this:

And I really liked it, so I wanted to make it good. Photoshop time. Some colorful blur should help. And it helped. Here's the final result:
