Seeing a Quirky World Through @moography’s Phone
To see more of Anshuman’s illusive creations, follow @moography on Instagram.
“I’ve got crazy ideas in my head when it comes to how I would like to see the world,” says Anshuman Ghosh (@moography), an Indian business developer based in South Africa. He was initially drawn to street photography, but Anshuman wasn’t able to create the world he imagined in his mind — one that was less serious and more quirky. “I wanted to create something that was a fusion between what was real and what was not,” he says. “I came up with this technique I call phone framing.” Anshuman sketches a drawing on paper, cuts it out and aligns everything together to create a seamless visual illusion. “Placing the phone in the picture gives me the freedom to trick my audience into believing the phone is more than something that it is.”

Top Digital Resources
At UI Stencils there is only one Queen and King - Paper and Pencil. And, they rule their kingdom with a steady hand. But, when it comes to the digital landscape you will find resources abound. Here is a rundown of our favorites.
Wordmark.it Wordmark is a simple and sweet tool that lets you see many fonts onscreen at once. Works well to help you pick the right typeface for your project.
Cssfontstack This is a no brainer. It's really a "duh" situation. Primitive and effective. Shows you all the css fonts and lets you grab their css tags fast. If you're not already acquainted please get down to it.
Fontello Download vector icons one at time as webfonts. You can even take a vector .svg and drag it right in for an easy export to web font. It's not the only one of its kind, but it’s a cool tool.
Essential Type Resource: The Holy Grail of type books
Kuler Kuler is probably the first tool that comes to mind when thinking of a color picker. It’s clean, has mad mojo, and tons of options. Those with Adobe accounts can save their color schemes for later.
Color Chemistry A nice little gizmo if you know roughly what color you want, i.e. red, green, beige ect. Simply type the color in the box and instantly see many variations - not a bad place to start.
Hail Pixel This tool is so rad! It’s amazingly fun, although highly intuitive we’re not sure how useful it is. Just drag the cursor and click to pick a color. Bam!
Essential Color Resource: Great article on the basics
Unsplash An amazing collection of free hi-resolution photos from around the world. It’s easy to kill time just looking at these sweet babies.
Gratisography Another amazing collection of wonderful photography. Whether you’re looking for placeholder images or just inspiration this is a great place to go. It’s all free to use for whatever you want.
Subtle Patterns The place to go for tasteful patterns.
Essential Imaging Resource: A site to give you great ideas

Back to School: Survival Guide
Welcome back to school.
Maybe you're just starting out? Or, you're at the end of your education? Either way, you've got a long and fulfilling road ahead. Here are a few survival tips that you'll do well to remember for your future career in design.
Document everything.
Don't just save finished projects. Show your process, keep sketches, and use different ways to describe methods. Documentation creates content for your portfolio and helps clients understand how you've arrived at your solutions. More importantly, it ingrains your process, making you more confident at what you do. Take plenty of photos / screenshots of early iterations. Be mindful of the steps you’re taking and pay attention to what works and what doesn’t. Documentation will help you refine your design self.
 Know the right tool for the job.
Abraham Maslow, the psychologist best known for creating the hierarchy of needs theory said, "I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail." By utilizing a range of tools and methods you can become a well honed instrument fit for tackling a variety of different challenges. Knowledge of the different ways of engaging a problem helps you choose the most effective method. Then and only then can you invent some impressive and clever little title for yourself like Graphical Web Pirate, or Digital Chromatic Strategist, or Champion of Apps, Graphics and Code, or Intergalactic UX Predator. You get the idea - don't make all your problems into nails just so you can use the hammer.
 Test what you’re making and what you’ve made.
Never hand the client something without trying it many times and in many different ways. If it’s a graphic design piece or layout then make sure it’s shared and reviewed by many people. Even if you’re that baller creative wizard, you should still have someone else check what you’re doing because you might really suck at spelling or something. If it’s an application or product, make sure you check all those oddball scenarios that wouldn’t creep up during normal use cases.
 Collaborate + Communicate
To be an effective designer means that your goal is to deliver a product which addresses the problems at hand in the best way possible. You're also going to want to do this on time and within a particular budget - an impossibility without strong communication and collaborative skills. This means attentively listening and talking to everyone a little differently and giving plenty of feedback at all times. Communicating transparently and positively with your team members and clients is an essential piece of a successful product launch.
 Focus on your craftsmanship.
There is nothing like a well crafted product: it’s beautiful, thought out, detailed and functional. It’s important to strive to be creative and original, but remember that nothing is completely original. Make something that you really love and other people will likely love it too, and build it like a fine craftsman would - with an intense and attentive pride in your labor.
