Artist Post: Fabio Sasso


   Fabio Sasso is a graphic and web designer from Brazil. He has a degree in graphic design, but he quickly began working in web design as web was becoming accessible in Brazil. He has a blog, Abduzeedo, which has become very popular for its tutorials and inspirations. He also has a company with Fabiano Meneghetti in which they design websites for companies. He is currently working as a designer for Google.

    blog, Abduzeedo, has brought Sasso a lot of recognition. It was created originally following Sasso’s experiments with design and has grown from there. It offers tutorials in programs like Photoshop and Illustrator, offers inspiration in areas like architecture, illustration, typography and more. It also features interviews with various artists. It is a great place to find inspiration. In the design of the site itself, you scroll down the page to view different recent posts and they are arranged in rows of two, with fairly large thumbnails and small previews of the text.  Also, at the top of the index page is the featured daily inspiration, which is chosen by the writers and users of the site. It is a very colorful and playful site that is really easy to navigate, which is what Sasso is about. He is about the usability of a site, but still with a creative flare and design.



   On his persona website, on the index page, he has an image of himself at the top, with his name in big, bold letters next to it. He has a brief biography and some thumbnails of his graphic design work, which you can click on. Also, on the left side of the page is his most recent Tweet, which I imagine changes every time he tweets. It is very simple but it offers many links to other sites and social networks so that you can learn more about him and see his work.
