Illustration & Painting: Futurism vs. Passeism
Illustration & Painting: Futurism vs. Passeism
Let’s take a pause and look at this illustration series by Oleg Belinsky named Futurism vs. Passeism. You’ll notice the mixture of that black solid colour, geometrics, lighting and gradients are just a combination of a stunning stylish art. I really love the tone and the details given to the white colour, just add an incredible final touch. I wish there was more of this series but time will let us know and I can’t wait to see more of Oleg’s work in the near future. Hope you dig it as well!
Published on Behance, this is the work from Oleg Belinsky who is a designer from Salaspils, Latvia. Being living close to the Baltic Sea, inspiration must have been coming from your surroundings. You should definitely follow his work.

Interaction Design & UI/UX: Transit Tracker Concept
Interaction Design & UI/UX: Transit Tracker Concept
Let’s take a look at this interesting interaction design concept of a transit tracker by Matteo Mapelli. As I am starting to see a trend with designers using the font: Montserrat; it’s a great readable font especially on apps. What I really enjoy about this concept is the main (bottom) navigation, that subtle-overlayed gradient and wrapped with the menu button is quite neat. What raises a question is the use of the map when you’ve actually found your destination and also the use of the other features from the navigation. Overall, it’s pretty great!

Photography: GRVTY Series by Daniel Garay Arango
Let’s start off the week with a photography series named: GRVTY by Daniel Garay Arango. What’s particular about this series is the tone and also the extra mile that Daniel took really make it stand out even more from what we’ve seen around. It will definitely be interesting to see his process from start to finish but what I can see here is a mixture of photography and photoshop. It’s really architectural project to a whole new level.
Published via Behance is the work from Daniel Garay Arango who is a photographer based in Bogotá, Colombia. There isn’t much more information about Daniel but you should definitely give him a follow on Behance and Instagram.

Interaction Design & UI/UX: Fit Me. Personal Fitness Coach
Interaction Design & UI/UX: Fit Me. Personal Fitness Coach
We are looking at the interaction design of a personal fitness coach mobile app named: FitMe. Designed by Catherine Wang, what’s totally selling me to her concept is for starters the colour palette that is keeping people motivated with a sparking red as the main colour. You’ll notice the UI has a tiny resemblance to the Apple Watch UI, it express a nice flair for the least. I also liked the profile aspect of her concept that showcases your progress and achievements. Check it out!
Published via Behance is the work from Catherine Wang who is a web designer working at Apple. Focusing her work into UI/UX, web design and graphic design; it’s great to see Catherine keeping it busy with mobile app concepts where everything is well detailed.
FitMe is a professional personal fitness mobile app tailored for female in different needs. Every feature is designed for users to approach the goal of keeping fit.

Illustration: The Work from Christian Orrillo
Let’s take a look at the stunning illustration work from Christian Orrillo who is a self-taught digital artist based in Santiago, Chile. Focusing his work also into painting, I loved that he decided to focus on contemporary art but with a colourful twist. There isn’t much more information about Christian but you’ll notice that his work is based around pastel colour palette and it’s quite amazing.
My favourite piece from Christian is the Juniper’s, the details for her hair are just so unique. I also appreciate the fact that he will share a before/after so we can somehow understand his process. Definitely worth a follow via his Behance.

Interaction Design and UI/UX: Smart Expense App
We are taking a look at this interaction design of an app named: Smart Expense. Designed by Prakhar Neel Sharma, it’s a colourful approach on how you should manage your daily expenses with cute illustrations and graphics to be more familiarize with your finance. I personally liked the “explore” section since it’s giving you a little bit more options within the app. It’s an overall beautiful work but I can’t help to spot the many spelling errors, be careful with that Prakhar!
Published on Behance, this is the work of Prakhar Neel Sharma who is a product designer based in Copenhagen, Denmark. Focusing his work into digital interfaces, everything is all related to the user. His principles are beauty, simplicity and usability.

Watch: How Much Do Continuity Errors Really Matter in a Film?
Editors do their darndest to ensure that there are no errors in continuity, but does it really matter when a few slip through the cracks?
We’ve all seen them, whether it’s Dorothy’s ever-changing hair length in The Wizard of Oz or the already bullet-riddled wall during Pulp Fiction’s “Divine Intervention” scene. Continuity errors are the easter eggs editors unintentionally leave in pretty much every film, but while some find them charming and unobtrusive, others claim these little mistakes are distracting at best and complete film-ruiners at worst.
So, which is it? In this video from Indy Mogul, editor Sven Pape discusses continuity errors, from the effects they have on audiences to what some of the most renowned editors think about them.
