There’s a school of thought which says anyone with a camera could take pictures. Why should pay high to hire someone to do it for you, if you can simply whip out your phone or fancy digital camera and snap away? With regards to wedding photography there’s even of school of thought who says you simply get all your visitors or guests to take pictures and upload them to a website for everyone to see. That is great, if you have some visitors who are skilled with a camera and are ready to spend your memorable event looking through the lens, rather than enjoying the occasion. In general, you’re much better off putting yourselves in the hands of an expert wedding photographer, in order that you end up with an amazing set of pictures which do justice your very special day.

To design positive emotional experiences you must understand human emotion.

Illustrations for Demetre's Winter Sweet Menu
AoiroStudioMay 04, 2020It’s a bit of an old project by Sean Lewis but I thought it was perfectly suited for ABDZ. During these pandemic times, we had to find ways to be more creative with our daily lives. I think we all did somehow. For my case, now I am currently living in Switzerland, I still remember the simple walks that I would take with the family especially early in the morning. And I remember having conversations with my oldest kid who never saw huge mountains covered in snow, and he kept saying that it looked like ice cream (being a huge fan of ice cream). That’s why I thought about sharing Sean’s work, the little but simple memories that goes through your mind. Life is simple and filled with opportunities to be remembered. Thank you Sean.
Sean is a fellow Canadian (hi!) and is an illustrator based in Toronto, Canada. Make sure to check out his work for more illustrations via his Behance profile.
My Nostalgia is back with Streets of Rage 4
abduzeedoMay 06, 2020I grew up playing video games. My first console was the Atari 2600. The games were quite primitive, literally a few pixels on the screen moving. Remember, that was the 80s. In the 90s my brother and I got the Sega Mega-Drive (Genesis in US). It was a massive improvement in graphics. A 16bit console, whoah! There are incredible games, however the one that marked was Streets of Rage. I remember seeing some kids playing at this shop and I was blown away. I wanted to play it. We got the game a few weeks later and we used to play it all the time. The soundtrack was phenomenal. Fast-forward a few years and the second installment was released. Everything was better. Graphics, music. My love for the franchise was renewed till this day. I have both games on my phone and tablet.
Last week Streets of Rage 4 was released. The long awaited release for me since I learned it was in the works. I got it for the Switch and have been playing every single day and my expectations, which were very high, were met. The game is awesome. The pixelated graphics are no longer. The creators of the series decided to adopt a hand drawn clean look and it works really well. The graphics are beautiful, the scenarios have that 80s gritty look and are full of details. The music doesn’t disappoint either. I’ve been actually listening to the soundtrack on Spotify.
As you can see, I am a fan and this game deserves a feature here on Abduzeedo.
Streets of Rage, known as Bare Knuckle (ベア・ナックル Bea Nakkuru) in Japan, is a trilogy of beat 'em up games developed and published by SEGA in the 1990s.
Famously known for its non stop action and electronic dance influenced music - scored by Yuzo Koshiro and Motohiro Kawashima - the series has gained the status of cult classic throughout the years. It is considered one of the best beat 'em up series of all time. After many years, Axel and Blaze are finally picking up the fight where they left.
Featuring hand-drawn visuals from the team behind 2017’s gorgeous Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap remake, Streets of Rage 4 builds upon the classic trilogy’s gameplay with new mechanics, a fresh story and a gauntlet of dangerous stages with a serious crime problem. Streets of Rage 4 recalls classic gameplay but it stands as an entirely original arcade-style romp thanks to the expertise of Guard Crush Games and Dotemu.
Whether players gang up with a friend or clean up the city solo, Streets of Rage 4 is a skull-bashing, chicken-chomping delight all set to a thumping soundtrack sure to get your blood pumping.
Cinematic Street Photography by Victor Cambet
AoiroStudioMay 07, 2020Victor Cambet is a freelance graphic designer and an amazing photographer currently based in Montreal, QC. What initially caught my eyes on Victor's work is his perspective of how he sees things through his camera lenses. It's pure, raw, and cinematic street photography. That's one of the reasons why we decided to feature his work on ABDZ. Being a personal fan of Victor's, I have always enjoyed his shots from my hometown of Montreal (and still do). I have lived in this city for more than 30 years and it's quite a pleasant sentiment. Definitely check out his Instagram, you will get to follow the 'behind-the-scenes' stories and you will notice how Victor is passionate and patient with his photography. Make sure to give him some love.
