DesignChat Guest: Armin Vit

setembro 07, 2010 from abduzeedo's blog

Wednesday, September 8th at 9pm CST — This week’s conversation is supplemented by the thoughts and opinions of our guest, Armin Vit — one half of the dynamic-duo known to most as UnderConsideration (Armin Vit + wife and co-conspirator, Bryony Gomez-Palacio). We have him about a week before his talk at AIGA Chicago’s Design Thinking II, and we hope to search his head a bit, figuring out what makes him such an effective proponent for good design.

Armin Vit’s career has brought him from his original home in Mexico City, to Chicago, and then to New York (working with Michael Bierut at Pentagram). Today he runs projects through UnderConsideration’s Department of Design in Austin, Texas, and does his best to enjoy time spent with his young family.

Vit has written articles for many of the industry’s leading publications like HOW, STEP, and Eye. He’s also created content for Emigre and the UK-based design publication, Creative Review. As if that wasn’t enough, he continues to oversee the creation of several microblogs and design critique sites while touring the world as a welcomed speaker, talking about what else… our favorite topics… design, branding and typography.

There’s a lot more to Vit then we’ve got here, so check out the links at the end of this post and…

Join us, and Armin Vit, this Wednesday September 8th at 9pm CST, here at

It will be great to talk with him and we hope to see you there too.

Efeito de Janela Embaçada no Photoshop
Efeito de Janela Embaçada no Photoshop
Depois de mais de três dias de chuva eu decidi me inspirar nisso para fazer um novo experimento no Photoshop. Em 2007 eu fiz um video tutorial mostrando como criar pingos de água no Photoshop, mas fiz apenas o video, sem nenhuma instrução de texto. Como várias pessoas enviaram emails pedindo que eu fizesse uma versão com texto, decidi fazer este tutorial pois achei que repetir o mesmo anterior não seria tão legal. Então resolvi fazer um novo efeito usando também os pingos de água.
