Most designers usually create drawings or graphic illustration using multiple graphic applications, but Marcelo usually create his drawing using detailed outlines in Adobe Illustrator alone which brings stunning quality of vector drawings in the end.

As we all know, Barack Obama just recently set a history in the American political scene where Obama is now officially the first African American to be elected as the 44th President of the United States. Today, I'm not going to write about politics here as I prefer to write more on what is making the Obama campaign a major success towards his carrier as a politician other than his courage, families and the people.

I must say the Obama 08 logo has made an important role for Obama's presidential campaign, it's not just a logo, it's more like a voice of 'change' from the peoples of America. Thanks to the head design team for Obama 08 logo, Sol Sender, who is now a strategist for VSA Partners.

Here are some of various design of Obama 08 logo design.

Below is the final design, as you can see the shape of 'O' stands for Obama while there were red and white stripes which are symmetrically horizontal.

At the final stages, some minor adjustment has been made, the red and white stripes is been changed to look more dimensional.

It's actually nice to see the insight process in designing logos especially the one that has brought major impact. Watch the full video of Sender's interview at VSA Partners site about the story of conception and the birth of Obama '08 logo.

Get inspired!

Is this for real?
Yes indeed! iMo is an urban car + robot or closely to say an autonomous robotic car which planned to be release by the year 2024.

Is this really a car?
A car normally comes with four wheels, while iMo comes only with two wheels because It balances itself using gyroscopic sensors and it can travel by itself without being driven.

Is this car really can be on the road?
You can even communicate with iMo and it will fetch you right after you walk out from a cinema.

What's the different from normal car?
Have you ever heard about 'Wall Parking' or 'Air Parking System' ? The iMo actually park on the wall of an existing building and also using an adapted zeppelins in order to carry iMos to parking areas at the top of a building.

Hmmm... maybe I'm joking!
I'm maybe joking but not to Anthony Jannarelly, the Apple iMo concept car is originally created by this student for his MA Automotive Design at Coventry University. iMo is a compact robotic car 2+1 seater powered with 60kW of electricity and specifically design to provide elegant solutions for your daily transporting activities.

I must say the concept design is total BOMBASTIC!! Is this the future car we will be sitting in someday in the future?

Client : Lifedemo.com

The logo was designed for a blog music call LifeDemo. Belongs to one talented guy named Kay Stanford who enjoy playing guitar and listen to Alternative, Acoustics and Modern Rock music. The idea of the logo is to look something like the 80's style of fonts with a guitar of Fender American Standard standing in the middle.
