			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here we feature an artist who goes by the name of &#8220;<a href="http://www.behance.net/ElBOTE" title="ROAN Behance">ROAN</a>&#8220;, for the design savvy amongst you will remember him from the PSD Tuts post about <a href="http://psd.tutsplus.com/articles/inspiration/100-artworks-from-the-top-20-digital-artists-in-south-america/">South American Artists</a> in which he was featured &#8211; This is truly awesome design and illustration.</p>
<p>This is an extract from his folio which <strong>I hope will inspire you</strong>.</p>
<p style="padding:0 20px 0 20px;">&#8220;Recently I was commissioned by my friends Accept &amp; Proceed, to create a  black &amp; white illustration, which was a &#8220;Call to Arms&#8221; to a Mexican soccer club called Club America, and this piece may reflect its essence and passion for this sport.&#8221;</p>
<h2>Here is what he produced</h2>
<p>The Typography below looks alive, im sure i can almost see a heart with the main arteries and blood vessels flowing through it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whilst looking through Behance I discovered a female illustrator called <a href="http://www.behance.net/IrinaVinnik" target="_blank">Irina Vinnik</a> from Saint Petersburg,  Russia.</p>
<p>Her illustrations immediately struck me as being fantastically detailed. Drawn in a moleskin they have a quiet unassuming quality that makes them even more interesting.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This week we bring a concept car design from the Jaguar design team . This is a fantastic look into how a concept car is created from initial sketch to augmented reality hologram, thank you to Amar Vaya for using a CC license</p>
<h2>Jaguar 2040 : What is Luxury in 2040?</h2>
<p><img class="blackborder" src="http://www.designshard.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/0a1.jpg" alt="" width="578" height="189" /></p>
<h2>The Initial Idea</h2>
<p>In an intelligent and self-developed age, society will  bring luxury to a new status. Indulgence in the harmony of a tailored  experience designed to match individual ideologies. Luxury is having the  opportunity to fulfill life.</p>
<p><img class="blackborder" src="http://www.designshard.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/1.jpg" alt="" width="578" height="408" /></p>
<h2>What is it?</h2>
<p>The  Jaguar L-type is designed to be a Luxury vehicle for a modern era, it  is designed to be a cruiser for the modern city inhabitant. The  objective for the L-type is to become a piece of sculpture when not in  use, and it can do this by parking on special hub&#8217;s installed around the  city, which are positioned upright to drastically alter the vehicle&#8217;s appearance.</p>
<p>When parked on the hubs, it&#8217;s secondary use is to gather  solar electricity, like a blossomed flower reaching above the shade of  undergrowth. The vehicle is continuously connected to the national grid,  where it draws power via the front wheels, which in turn powers electro  magnetic thrust, which react with specially adapted roads.</p>
<p><img class="blackborder" src="http://www.designshard.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/2.jpg" alt="" width="578" height="332" /></p>
<h2>Scenario 2040</h2>
<p>The world is a figment of its former self&#8230;</p>
<h3>Society</h3>
<ul>
<li>Overpopulation requires fully sustainable  cities to be developed local to existing cities.</li>
<li>After seeing the effects of global warming,  world governments prioritise the environment and integrate society with nature.</li>
</ul>
<p><img class="blackborder" src="http://www.designshard.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/3.jpg" alt="" width="578" height="333" /></p>
<h3>Technology</h3>
<ul>
<li>Nano revolution has dawned and nuclear fusion  is still not ready for mainstream use. Maximising renewable energy is  important. Aiding this, development into ultra efficient and powerful electronics.</li>
<li>Nano materials, Nano computers and Nano solar voltaic cells  change the way the car is packaged, centralising the user.</li>
<li>Products are designed to provide human  satisfaction rather than to fuel consumerism.</li>
</ul>
<p><img class="blackborder" src="http://www.designshard.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/4.jpg" alt="" width="578" height="333" /></p>
<h3>Economy</h3>
<ul>
<li>Recession brings a generation who are aware  of financial matters, buying into timeless products / cultures, which  fuel a healthy product lifespan.</li>
<li>The standard of living is increased  dramatically in the eco city, due to a natural lifestyle the population  will begin the accept a happier place, with equilibrium in human behavior.</li>
</ul>
<p><img class="blackborder" src="http://www.designshard.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/5.jpg" alt="" width="578" height="381" /></p>
<h3>Ecology</h3>
<ul>
<li>The environment is warmer due to global  warming, however the damage caused by CO2 emissions is slowly reversed  with advancements in technology.</li>
</ul>
<p><img class="blackborder" src="http://www.designshard.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/6.jpg" alt="" width="578" height="326" /></p>
<h3>Political</h3>
<ul>
<li>Break down of traditional governments makes  way for a scientific driven leadership.</li>
<li>World peace is within grasp.</li>
<li>Eastern superpowers merge with western  societies creating a increasingly diverse World.</li>
</ul>
<p><img class="blackborder" src="http://www.designshard.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/7.jpg" alt="blackborder" width="578" height="194" /></p>
<h3>Luxury and Design</h3>
<ul>
<li>Overconsumption  is no longer a sign of success</li>
<li>Cultural experience over material possession.</li>
<li>Timeless quality thinking with technology</li>
<li>Sustainability where material and design  matter most.</li>
</ul>
<p><img class="blackborder" src="http://www.designshard.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/8.jpg" alt="" width="578" height="278" /></p>
<p><strong>Augmented reality</strong> lets you create and interact with your environment :  example : Drift amongst the stars as you travel</p>
<p><img class="blackborder" src="http://www.designshard.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/9.jpg" alt="" width="578" height="254" /></p>
<p><img class="blackborder" src="http://www.designshard.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/10.jpg" alt="" width="578" height="195" /></p>
<h2>Final Concept</h2>
<p>Exterior design work and clay modelling completed by Amar Vaya, Thomas Tzortzi and Louise McCallum in a joint  project with Jaguar&#8217;s advanced design team.</p>
<p><img class="blackborder" src="http://www.designshard.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/11.jpg" alt="" width="578" height="408" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a title="Big Cartel" href="http://www.bigcartel.com">Big Cartel</a></strong> offers an excellent resource for indie t-shirt lines looking for a quick and easy social online store.  However, as of this posting, there were well over 4,000 shops at Big Cartel. The majority of these serve up some t-shirts and we wanted to share 12 of our faves?  Read on to see what we like about each of these stores.</p>
<h2><a title="Dekay Clothing" href="http://www.dekay.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">Dekay Clothing</a></h2>
<p>The store is just as dark as the characters and themes being printed on the shirts.</p>
<p style="center;"><a title="dekay" href="http://www.dekay.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank"><img class="blackborder" src="http://www.designshard.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/dekay.jpg" alt="dekay" width="578" height="284" /></a></p>
<h2><a title="Word Apparel!" href="http://wordapparel.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">Word Apparel!</a></h2>
<p>There are certain features on this one worth noting like the torn edges and the illusion of depth from the top layer to the background. The layout flows well.</p>
<p style="center;"><a title="word_apparel" href="http://wordapparel.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank"><img class="blackborder" src="http://www.designshard.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/word_apparel.jpg" alt="word_apparel" width="578" height="284" /></a></p>
<h2><a title="I Came From Nothing" href="http://icamefromnothing.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">I Came From Nothing</a></h2>
<p>I guess those tentacles on the sides &#8220;Came From Nothing&#8221; because I don&#8217;t recognize them from anything I&#8217;ve ever seen. Whatever they are, they perfectly match with the style of design on the shirts.</p>
<p style="center;"><a title="came_nothing" href="http://icamefromnothing.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank"><img class="blackborder" src="http://www.designshard.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/came_nothing.jpg" alt="came_nothing" width="578" height="284" /></a></p>
<h2><a title="410 B.C." href="http://410bc.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">410 B.C.</a></h2>
<p>I threw you a cureve on this one because it looks so different than all the others. The point with including 410 B.C. is showing that you don&#8217;t have to go nuts with graphics and can still look good. Models are a great way to personify the brand.</p>
<p style="center;"><a title="410_bc" href="http://410bc.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank"><img class="blackborder" src="http://www.designshard.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/410_bc.jpg" alt="410_bc" width="578" height="284" /></a></p>
<h2><a title="Arkaik" href="http://arkaik.bigcartel.com/products" target="_blank">Arkaik</a></h2>
<p>I am a fan of the background being used and the title going beyond the main body. Arkaik kept with the theme by customizing the navigation in an appropriate font.</p>
<p style="center;"><a title="arkaik" href="http://arkaik.bigcartel.com/products" target="_blank"><img class="blackborder" src="http://www.designshard.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/arkaik.jpg" alt="arkaik" width="578" height="284" /></a></p>
<h2><a title="This Noise" href="http://thisnoiseapparel.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">This Noise</a></h2>
<p>If you tried to create text that is loud enough to make a sound&#8230;.this title is what it would look like. The store&#8217;s look and feel completely agrees with the t-shirts and their designs.</p>
<p style="center;"><a title="this_is_noise" href="http://thisnoiseapparel.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank"><img class="blackborder" src="http://www.designshard.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/this_is_noise.jpg" alt="this_is_noise" width="578" height="284" /></a></p>
<h2><a title="A Burning Hollywood Romance" href="http://abhrclothing.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">A Burning Hollywood Romance Clothing</a></h2>
<p>There is a lot of action going on here. Sometimes that is a bit much, but AHBR showed that excess can look good too.</p>
<p style="center;"><a title="abhr" href="http://abhrclothing.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank"><img class="blackborder" src="http://www.designshard.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/abhr.jpg" alt="abhr" width="578" height="284" /></a></p>
<h2><a title="Funk Rush" href="http://funkrush.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">Funk Rush</a></h2>
<p>SImple, clean, minimal. Enough said.</p>
<p style="center;"><a title="funk_rush" href="http://funkrush.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank"><img class="blackborder" src="http://www.designshard.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/funk_rush.jpg" alt="funk_rush" width="578" height="284" /></a></p>
<h2><a title="Linty Fresh" href="http://www.lintyfresh.com/" target="_blank">Linty Fresh</a></h2>
<p>How do you get Linty Fresh? By washing your tees with too much detergent inside your animated washing machine. Great color selection.</p>
<p style="center;"><a title="linty_fresh" href="http://www.lintyfresh.com/" target="_blank"><img class="blackborder" src="http://www.designshard.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/linty_fresh.jpg" alt="linty_fresh" width="578" height="284" /></a></p>
<h2><a title="Zombie Liquorice" href="http://zombieliquorice.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">Zombie Liquorice</a></h2>
<p>Zombie Liquorice scares the hell out of me. ANd that is exactly what they were going for with this design.</p>
<p style="center;"><a title="zombie_liquorice" href="http://zombieliquorice.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank"><img class="blackborder" src="http://www.designshard.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/zombie_liquorice.jpg" alt="zombie_liquorice" width="578" height="284" /></a></p>
<h2><a title="Regal Clothing" href="http://000000000aregalclothing.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">Regal Clothing</a></h2>
<p>This is an awesome background. The lighting on the imagery makes it look real. This is a very cool touch for a t-shirt line that covers quite a few subjects.</p>
<p style="center;"><a title="regal" href="http://000000000aregalclothing.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank"><img class="blackborder" src="http://www.designshard.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/regal.jpg" alt="regal" width="578" height="284" /></a></p>
<h2><a title="Hands On Clothing" href="http://0000000000000000.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">Hands On Clothing</a></h2>
<p>Couldn&#8217;t you just eat it? Everything comes together on this one.</p>
<p style="center;"><a title="hands_on" href="http://0000000000000000.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank"><img class="blackborder" src="http://www.designshard.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/hands_on.jpg" alt="hands_on" width="578" height="284" /></a></p>
<p style="center;">I know there are many more and I want to see them! Please let me know the ones I left out in the comments section&#8230;</p>
