SpeckyBoy Design Mag

Speckyboy Design Magazine launched in October 2007, as my personal web design homepage. I was just taking (what felt like) a giant leap into freelance design and consultancy, and needed a home base for my potential clients to get in touch with me… Somewhere over the following months this site changed direction, when I realized I was getting more and more visitors.
It started with an article called Top 25 Free Icon Resources for Web Designers, and it did very well on delicious, and the visitors increased. By then I had caught the blogging bug.

From that initial article I have tried to cover every aspect of web design and development offering FREE and HIGH QUALITY RESOURCES as well as attempting to inspire through our showcases. I am not a graphic designer (I still use Adobe Fireworks), but do love it and certainly appreciate it, the same goes for typography and photography.

Abduzeedo

This blog was created and developed by Fabio Sasso, a Brazilian designer living in Porto Alegre (south of Brazil).

My first contact with the Internet happened in 1995 and 1996 I started playing with it as a designer. I have a degree in graphic design and I’ve been working professionally since 1998, here in Brazil, at least in my town, I could say that it was the very beginning of the Internet.

The idea behind this blog is primarily to be a channel for me to write down some ideas, experiments, news, and a lot of thing that I see online and probably will forget in a couple of months. Basically it is an archive of my adventures online as a designer on the daily basis. Another thing that I want to do with this blog is to improve my English skills, as a Brazilian and non-native speaker of English, it’s a good way to practice it. By the way, you might find some English mistakes, maybe a lot sometimes, but I will try my best to make it as legible as possible.

“The blog’s name means abducted in Portuguese. I changed its spelling to add ZEE (my design company) instead of abduzido”
