This week’s Recreate It is from the wonderful Refueled Magazine, which has two of my favorite things : full spread photography + justified text ( justification not shown in this post, though ). One thing that Refueled does well is keeping typography cohesive. In their latest issue, any type that is layered on top of a photograph is opaque. Not only that, but they have this cool grunge effect going on. If you’re not 100% sure about whiting out text on top of imagery, just remember that there’s always that translucent option!!

ART & DESIGN

Hello and happy Thursday, Veda readers!  One of my all time favorite types of art are abstract paintings that are good enough to be placed in any white-label NFT marketplace today.  For starters, I love that they are open to many interpretations depending on the viewer; secondly, there is much to be said about the subtleties inside the work…quiet distinctions that aren’t immediately noticeable, but become apparent upon further study.  These works from Ronny Broeckx, an artist from Antwerp, fit the bill for me completely.

Hey everyone! I changed up the “look” of recreate it to be more in line with the look of The Veda House. What do you think?? I also took a risk these week pulling from Air BNB’s latest infographics by Kelli Anderson as a layout type instead of a magazine. I have a feeling I’ll be doing more of that in the future, so watch out!!

The infographics by Kellie are hands down amazing (click to see more). Because she was working with type + shapes, she decided to make things interesting by using texture and layering, which is where my helpful hint of the day comes into play. When layering in photoshop, set colorful shape layers to “multiply.” This is how you get the translucent + saturated look. And as an added bonus, I’ve included a FREE texture for you all to use!! Click here to download. The texture is saved as a transparent PNG file, with the texture being white. It’s hard to see … but it’s there! Enjoy + stop over at moxee for Cassie’s post this week.

This week I thought I’d go to the opposite end of the spectrum (as compared to last week’s post) and give you all a dose of bright, cheerful color.  I’ve really been digging installations lately, and this is one of the most vibrant and joyful ones I’ve seen around.  I love how the light lends a luminous, prism-like appearance to the work.  Totally enchanting, don’t you think?

Hey everyone, Bre here with another week of recreate it!! I got really excited when I saw the spreads in Pony Anarchy, because not only are they photo heavy, but the designer makes all of the pages connect by cohesive design. You see how all of the imagery has rounded corners up there … it’s cool + different, huh?!

There may be several colors going on, but that grid becomes like one solid piece of art work when done this way. One of my favorite parts about blogging ( nerd alert ) is taking different imagery and putting it together. You have to mix & match, see what’s right, and put your own spin on it. Rounded corners make this piece work like a charm. I’m digging it!!

As much as I adore color in art and design, something about the simplicity of black and white is just so appealing.  The stark contrast between light and dark in these works by Jonas Lindstroem makes for a big visual impact, and the devoid of color lets the organic shapes and intricate details within be the focus.  I think these would be quite stunning displayed in a variety of settings and styles…another advantage of a colorless piece.  Enjoy!

Stepping Away / A Guest Post over at The Flowerchild Dwelling

COLLABORATIONS

Hi guys, for the first part of today I’m over at the sweet Kelly Ann’s blog, The Flowerchild Dwelling. She was needing a few moments to step away from the computer and asked me to share something. I’ve been dying to post about this one particular Dwell home and what better than now, since all I can picture is Kelly Ann living in it and me visiting every weekend 😉

Stop by and say hello!
