It is fun and very emotional when when we go through our old photo albums. Old pictures have captured our precious moments and sometimes feelings as well. We compare ourselves with old photos that were shot, when we were kid. Seeing past photographs makes us that we have come a long way. In this post you will find 10 photographs where people have recreated their past with the similar dress and location at present time. It is a fantastic idea and so thought provoking.
There are hundreds of airline companies throughout the globe that try to establish their name with good brand positioning in the market. It is true for every domestic and International companies. In this article, I try to give a glimpse of some of the airline carriers logos that are popular in the market.
Look at their logo design, color they use, and the font they use. Some of the airlines have their own font designed for them and for some, they just use common fonts that available in the market like Sans Serif. Colors vary a lot and they try to give a glimpse of their brand in this small logo. These are very creatively designed art. We can see the design pattern they follow, if they are from same industries or same geographical area. This rule applies in the flag designs also.

Carl Warner is a UK based artist who make Foodscapes,i.e.landscapes made up of food. At first glance, these photographs looks like a wooded landscapes with big rocks, dense forest in the background. However, if you look closely you will realize that it is actually made up of broccoli, beans, potatoes, bread, asparagus, courgettes, and corn. So, basically everything you see in the photograph is made up of food.
Carl began his career at art college as an illustrator. His imagination in drawing led him to discover a completely new field:photography. With the passion in photography, he slowly got interested in manipulating the landscape that he photographs.

This post is all about love stories…animated love stories. Although i am not a kid anymore, i love animated films because of the humor and graphics in the movie. Now days animated movies have bigger market than the main stream movies. So here are my top 9 favorite animated movies.
9. Jake’s avatar and Neytiri – Avatar (2009)
Although this is not a complete animated movie, it made to my list as all the scenes in Pandora are animated. Avatar is primarily an action-adventure journey of self-discovery, in the context of imperialism and deep ecology. The love story between Jake’s avatar and Neytiri is a memorable one. Both couples come from radically different cultures that are contemptuous of their relationship and are forced to choose sides between the competing communities.
Belgian artist Ben Heine creates very beautiful mixture of art and photograph, which is famously known as “pencil Vs camera”. Ben is a self taught photographer and he enjoys making sketches. His work can be considered as half real and half pencil sketch. His creative thinking combines both art and pictures portraying two different things within the same scene. So far he has created near about 40 “pencil Vs camera” images.

I really love the Japanese sense of simplicity and minimalist design. The flag design of the different municipalities and cities are the perfect example of minimalism and iconography. In this post i have tried to assemble some of the Japanese flags that i have come across the Wikipedia.
As we all know, good design for flags is a matter of combining the basic shapes, proportions and design elements into a pleasing, usually simple, striking pattern that contains the necessary symbolism. Each design element — shape, colors, emblem — can have any number of symbolic interpretations, many of which are purely of a personal type. Although there are “standard” symbolic meanings, many other “non-standard” symbolism are possible.
The design of Japanese cities and municipalities will give you the sense of the design concept that exist in Japan. Many of the flags are the combination of logos and Japanese letters. Yet they are simple and inspire you in many ways.
Dazaifu, Fukuoka. This flag features an ume with a stylized kanji.
