56 Handcrafted Masks Perfect for Halloween Costumes Posted: 17 Oct 2011 02:38 PM PDT During Halloween season, masks are definitely in. Halloween gives people the perfect excuse to cover up their faces and look silly and out of this world even for just a day. You’ll see masked kids trick-or-treating, masked teens partying and even masked adults walking around indifferently to get in the Halloween spirit. Now if you’re planning to take part in this year’s celebration, nothing would be cooler than parading around wearing a unique handcrafted mask. At one point in our lives, we’ve all made handcrafted masks, whether it be for a school assignment or just for fun. For my part, I remember  making lousy ones using cutout cardboard from cereal boxes that I would never dare to wear outside the house. I also made one mask for a class in college using plaster bandage strips and acrylic paint that I used to be proud of. That’s right, I used to be proud of it—until I saw these epic handcrafted masks done by professional mask makers. I’ve compiled 56 of the most unique handcrafted masks I came across with made by various artists using leather, clay, plastic, paper and even metal. Get ideas and inspiration from these awesome works as you prepare your best Halloween costume ever!   Teal Medusa Mask merimask View Source   Knave Of Hearts Pair merimask View Source   Great Forest Dragon merimask View Source   Metallic Butterfly mask EirewolfCreations View Source   Great Horned Owl leather masks EirewolfCreations View Source   Red Maple Leaf Mask MummersCat View Source   Wizard’s Circle Mask – remake MummersCat View Source   Sprout MummersCat View Source   Bizarre Mask OsborneArts View Source   American Kestrel Leather Mask OsborneArts View Source   Handmade Leather Jester Mask OsborneArts View Source   New dryad mask Maddogmaxx View Source   Castle McCulloch 2 Maddogmaxx View Source   Hades Owl Mask senorwong View Source   Clockwork Dragon Goggles Namingway View Source   Black Eagle Mask Namingway View Source   Peakat Mask Namingway View Source   Victorian Bat NoxiNobodi View Source   Steampunk Doctor Who Cybermen RPG-AnimeOtaku View Source   Leather Cactuar-Sama Mask RPG-AnimeOtaku View Source   Akuma Zombie Leather Mask RPG-AnimeOtaku View Source   Skull masks Oracle-masks View Source   Egyptian Gods. xothique View Source   Archangel Helmet Azmal View Source   Female Dragon Helmet Azmal View Source   Gryphon Helmet Azmal View Source   Purple Octopus Mask OakMyth View Source   Peacock Mask Angles OakMyth View Source   Forest Mask OakMyth View Source   Amethyst Fairy Mask on Me EMasqueradeGallery View Source   “The Phoenix Mask” EMasqueradeGallery View Source   Jester Mask LilacGrove View Source   Deaths ceremonial mask DragonArmoury View Source   Tattoo Skull mask DragonArmoury View Source   Experiment 2 zarathus View Source   Experiment 1 zarathus View Source   Wolf Mask zarathus View Source   High Elf King elementalillusions View Source   Fantastic Flutterbys elementalillusions View Source   Steampunk Metal Stone Mask Diarment View Source   Phantom of the Steampunk Opera Diarment View Source   Savanna Griphon Artsquish View Source   Cross Fox WIP Artsquish View Source   Mike’s Muntjac Mask Artsquish View Source   Ancient Elder Silver MichaelLoh View Source   The Azure Drago littlelea View Source   Pan littlelea View Source   Serpentia Pavone littlelea View Source   Buterflies A’Flutter Lady-Cass View Source   Gothic Butterfly 1 Lady-Cass View Source   Day of the Dead Wedding Masks EffigyMasks View Source   Lady Hydrangea Mask EffigyMasks View Source   Custom Harlequin Mask EffigyMasks View Source   Ragnarok Steampunk Gas Mask TomBanwell View Source   Complete Defender Ensemble TomBanwell View Source   Underground Helm with Lamp TomBanwell View Source

2011 Graphic Designer Survey: For the Brilliant Minds Behind the Graphics Posted: 17 Oct 2011 09:00 AM PDT When a young friend, a Photoshop genius, announced during supper that he wanted to pursue a career in graphic design, his old man almost choked on boneless chicken before downing a glass of strawberry milkshake, his mom patted his shoulder and recited the names of famous artists who killed themselves, and his little sister cried. Apparently, some people don’t know much about graphic designers. Considering that our skills are being sought after by major corporations in every industry, it certainly is a head-scratcher. What’s even more surprising is that some graphic designers aren’t aware of current trends. How much is the average designer earning? What programs or tools do they use? Is blogging necessary, or is uploading a portfolio enough? What exactly do designers do for a living?  Oh, we bet there are tons of questions bothering graphic designers and the general public alike. So we’ve come up with the perfect solution.   Booyah!   We're hosting the 2011 Graphic Designer Survey. Our aim is to keep everyone updated with the latest graphic design practices, trends and technology by collecting relevant data from who else but actual designers like you. We'll be asking a few questions about your graphic design practices, your preferences and a few basic things about your profession. Your answers will in turn be used as a vital part of our timely study.     As an incentive, everyone who takes part will have a chance to win a Macbook Pro. So don't waste any time! Click on the link below and start answering the survey!   2011 Graphic Designer Survey
