TEN Collection from Fotolia

Created in 2011, Ten, the Fotolia design project puts this month UK under the light with Mike Harrison. 

This young graphic designer and illustrator lives in Wimbledon, in London. He presents "Just a Game", a photomontage which represents a bull, symbol of energy according to him. 

Created from "stock images of Fotolia and elements designed by himself", this original work is composed of  "the high energy of tauromachy but bringing a festive, ludic and creative touch with the association of colours and elements" he explained. 

The previous works were downloaded more than 110,000 times. We hope that this original creation will have the same success. 

 You will be able to download it for free in PSD, on Friday 10th of May for 24 hours, on www.tenbyfotolia.com. 

You can have a look at the video which presents this young artist, in preview on the Facebook page dedicated to Ten, or you can see the making-of on Youtube : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OwJgUDF9TA

After our service launch in Poland, we now just opened Italy !

We already got lot's of customers from Italy, those will be happy to be able to order now in their native language.

A fun contest for this launch : Ferrari !

To celebrate this launch with our fellow italian designers, we decided to organise a contest around one of the most famous italian brand in the world : Ferrari! Of course, not the Ferrari logo, which is so unique and awesome that no one can redesign it.

So we decided to choose another big part of Ferrari success: La Scuderia Ferrari, the Formula 1 Team, who's logo have a strange look and be really improved without loosing the identity of the brand. The actual logo of the Scuderia has been designed in 2011.

A brief recap of Scuderia Ferrari history :

Scuderia Ferrari (pronounced [skudeˈria ferˈrari]) is the racing team division of the Ferrari automobile marque. The team mainly races in Formula One but has also competed in many other series in numerous levels of motorsport since its formation in 1929, including sportscar racing.
The team was founded by Enzo Ferrari, initially to race cars produced by Alfa Romeo, though by 1947 Ferrari had begun building their own cars. It is the oldest surviving team in Grand Prix racing, having competed since 1932, and statistically the most successful Formula One team in history with a record of 15 drivers' championships. As a constructor, Ferrari has 16 constructors' championships, seven more than second-placed Williams. The great number of victories in Formula One added to many other successes in several categories have made of Ferrari one of the most successful and prestigious automotive sports teams ever: among the most important achievements should be mentioned World Sportscar Championship, 24 Hours of Le Mans, 24 Hours of Daytona, 12 Hours of Sebring, races for Grand tourer cars, and the three most prestigious world class racing on road course (Targa Florio, Mille Miglia and Carrera Panamericana).

Last month the brasilian artist Adhemas Batista presented a colorful and urban design for the TEN Collection. In April japanese artist Marumiyan shows his extraordinary design which is closely related to sound and music. The psd file of his design will be available for free download on Wednesday for 24 hours at www.tenbyfotolia.com.

With skills beyond his years, the 27-year-old has already participated in several expositions and international art collectives; published a book “Photoshop and Illustrator Artworks”, edited by MdN; and organized the visuals for one of Japan’s biggest live festivals, Minami Wheel.

Marumiyan stands behind the idea of TEN Collection: “I took on the TEN project because I found it interesting. I figured I could create even more elaborate and attractive photomontages through the use of Fotolia’s images. The images make the artwork more powerful. As a graphic design teacher, I also appreciate the learning and pedagogical aspect of the project, which helps others learn.”

His style is decorative, and he uses flowers, animals and women to enhance his artwork. To him, they reflect a natural sophistication which has allowed him to work for clients such as Wacom, Panasonic and NTT Docomo.
