Computer graphics are continuously turning the digital art into reality and I always wonder to what extent it will go. You may find 3D CG characters and portraits that looks very real and it gives very incredible feeling that how can human characteristic be mimicked by computer graphics. This 3D art is too realistic to be mistaken as actual photographs. You won’t believe it? Let’s take a look at these CG portraits. You will surely be mesmerized and get motivated to create your own.

44 Stunning Composition Wallpapers for Your Inspiration

Composition basically means planning of a design and arranging it in form or color, a visual piecing together of elemental objects on a background in either two or three dimension for a pleasing, harmonious effect. The beauty of Compositions is that because each designer’s way of thinking is so different from the other and their creativity so unique, it imparts a one of a kind flavor to the final artwork. Compositions can involve any number of design aspects, ranging from typography and simple photographs to complex 3D renderings, lineart, hand-drawn art, de-coupage, vectors and so much more working in tandem or solo. I have put together 44 random but each equally stunning as the other, composition wallpapers for your viewing pleasure.

60 Absolutely Gorgeous Textured Logos With That Wow Factor
On 24, Mar 2010 | 27 Comments | In Blog, Inspirations | By grapikom
Textures are a pleasure in Photoshop and a privilege in Illustrator. Now since all good logos are vectors, you rarely come across ones that have intricate and beautiful textures. Making a logo classy with the effect of textures [the grunge texture seems to be the most popular in the textured logos that I found] is indeed an art and today I have rounded up a gorgeous collection of logos that are not flat. There is a lovely mix of wood grain, stained glass, burnt paper, foliage, water, urban decay, brush strokes, ribbons, fabric, metal and stone textures in these logos. Whether a result of vector texture overlays or simply intelligent design playing illusion games with your vision, these beautiful logos have a palpable, almost real texture that will make you want to reach out and touch your screens. Enjoy and get inspired!
Disclaimer – This is a logo inspiration gallery and all the logos here with the exception of one [Envision Custom Work] are made by different designers and following the link on each logo will take you to the actual source and original designer. Thanks!

50 creative logo designs using Colorful Gradients and 3D Effects
On 23, Mar 2010 | 32 Comments | In Blog, Inspirations | By grapikom
Many old fashioned designers will tell you to avoid the use of more than 3 colors and gradients in a logo. The reasoning against using colors and gradients was valid, when The printing costs for 4 color process was costly. Today, online branding has become a major factor and most company logos are seen on websites much more than on prints. Full color logos with gradients look great on screen and designers should benefit from this new trend in logo designs.
We do not have to limit our designs to 2 colors flat logos . The b&w test remains valid to evaluate the concept of the logo and the 3d gradient effects should only come to support this concept.
We have selected for you some eye candy great looking logos using gradients and 3d effects for your inspiration…
