Web 1.0 vs Web 2.0: The Visual Difference


Now a days we see that the Web 2.0 culture is evolving at a very rapid pace and a huge amount of Web 2.0 sites are being launched daily.



The image compares Web 2.0 with Web 1.0 and explains how things have changed since the web culture has revolutionized. Webmaster and user interaction no longer depends on direct means of communication rather a whole new system of social interaction has evolved that includes really simple syndication (rss feeds) and also the use of social networking sites.

Ireland Spain Stamp Issue



Spanish Ambassador to Ireland, Her Excellency Mercedes Rico on 6th of Nov launched the first joint stamp issue between Ireland and Spain celebrating popular dances from both countries.

The 55c Irish stamp features an illustration of an Irish dancer by Conor Walton with typography and layout by Design Tactics. The 82c Spanish design is based on a photograph of a flamenco dancer by Jesus Sanchez. Both stamps will appear on a miniature sheet issued jointly by An Post and Correos de Espana.

I have got them today, and I like the designs and the colours of the images.

My Illustration & My Dream...


I got one week off from college, but this week still busy. I think everyone works on video production project in my class. Well, I did anyway...
I carry all the equipments shooting on the street in this windy cold day, very tired. Fortunately, it's finished. I hope I can have a good sleep tomorrow like this kid, leave everything out of mind, and fully relax...
