Elicia Edijanto is an artist from Jakarta, Indonesia with some incredible work shared on her Behance profile. I love simple, black and white illustration and what Elicia’s done here with drawings is exactly what I love. The subject and style of composition makes you think or imagining yourself in that situation. It is like the Limbo game, very similar style with most of the compositions having a central character, a child in eerie locations. Again, at least for me, the work takes me away in my imagination. Perfect for the end of the year. We also shared a bit of her fine arts creative process right after the break.

Nature inspires me a lot. I hope my art will serve their purposes, remind us of how is human-nature relationship supposed to be, beautiful, harmonious, and living side by side.Using only black watercolour (mostly), I try to create unique relationship between human and nature. My subject are often children and animal because they are honest, sincere, unprejudiced and unpretentious. It will be easier for people to feel the emotions.

Process

 

You guys are fully aware of how I feel about redesigns right? But with the end of the year coming soon, I decided to take a stab at a new perspective. Knowingly that most designers who are working on redesign concepts should know (or know) there are SO MANY details we need to take in consideration. It’s mostly not about the UI. Again, for this redesign concept by Simon Kratz for Vissla , what I liked the most about Simon’s work was his own approach. He is compassionate about the brand and using at the same time his UX skills/thinking for the completion of his vision.

Simon Kratz is an interaction designer based in Basel, Switzerland. Simon is mainly focusing his work on web design, UI/UX and interaction design. You should give him a follow on Behance.

Finally had some free time over the last weeks and decided to challenge myself with a quick design exploration and ran a small side project. I have been obsessed with VISSLA for the past few months and decided their current web experience should be more in line with their forward-thinking philosophy and outstanding products. VISSLA is a brand that represents creative freedom and a generation of creators and innovators. They embrace the modern do-it-yourself attitude within surf culture, performance surfing, and craftsmanship. This mission inspired me a lot to push their web presence to the next level. So, i focused on the goal to improve the user experience and suggest new solutions or alternative approaches how VISSLA could look like in todays huge digital ocean. So, this is a small part of an early stage redesign concept – let me know, what you think. — The Vissla Logo and Brand material is intellectual property of Vissla.

Web Design & UI/UX

 

Motion Studies

Since our weekly curated UI/UX interactions series are going well, we decided to give it a try with illustrations. Instead of focusing on one specific medium for illustrations like a print design for example. We will surf and look for great pieces across more platforms from books, print, web, applications and more. We will mix it all from static, dynamic and even live animations, this might be a great series to bookmark! For this week, let’s go in different directions and see how this will boost your creativity!

In this collection we are featuring the illustrative work from Dmitrii Kharchenko, Leo Natsume, Igor Kozak, DKNG and more.
