Inkflare is the online home for designer and developer Basheer Tome, currently an Atlanta based industrial design student in the honor program at Georgia Tech. To be honest, he's a guy who has a real passion for everything that is visually interesting and a never ceasing craving for a plain chicken sandwich.

We mainly work with those who need an effective online presence to create professional, attractive websites built according to web standards. Furthermore, we deal with designing graphics in dozens of formats and contexts as well as working with the physical world of print. To put it simply—we're flexible; if you need design work done, we'll do it.
Starting with a specific idea of a Tumblr-style blog using the Wordress platform, we designed Goodmorning and Goodnight with the intention of keeping the clutter low, the colors beautiful, and the content center stage. However, we made sure not to compromise on features by including search, comments, and even a social-media-style "like" button.
With a new editor-in-chief in the hotseat whose focus on the online portion of the editorial is much larger, the Technique's website needed a major facelift from the previously engineer-designed pages. Going with a slight gray for the background and sticking to as little color as possible allowed us to make the yellow strip really pop as well as the images for the stores.
In need of a revamp from the older site thrown together in a day, Georgia Tech's yearbook contacted us. We strived to keep things uncomplicated yet with a touch of class. The header overlay is actually a map of campus in order to give the header a spot of texture.
Over the past few years, I've acquired a nice collection of shots that I've taken from events, to flowers, to people. Click on the thumbnail and peruse a small portion of my catalog or visit my flickr to view them all.
What started out as a simple, elegant, business-card style site, turned into a fully automated Flickr gallery. Through the use of their API, we were able to make the site pull the latest 10 pictures from the photostream, crop through css, and then beautifully enlarge them on click.
What started out as an inside joke between my sister and I because of Google failing to transcribe my mother's voicemails with any anything less than 75% error, became a full fledged site that I now post my more hilarious voicemail transcriptions to on occasion.
Originally created as the sister site to Goodmorning & Goodnight, this blog's design is founded upon the code base from it's sister but served a more "nerdy", less focused purpose.
My friend wanted a logo for his new band "Blind Child", and what was needed was something versatile yet definitely interesting and incorporated Braille. I was also tasked with redesigning their myspace page. You can check it all out here.
With a slight lack of t-shirt design examples. I set about showcasing some of the ideas that had been brewing in my head while tying each shirt to a specific brand or cause--Swiss Army, Adidas, Haiti, and Breast Cancer Awareness.
My submission for Metropolis Magazine's One Fix design competition whose theme this year was "sustainability"; it is a blood-powered gps device similar in vein to Life Alert where lost or hurt hikers would use it to call for help.
The goal was to create a modern-day adaptation of Hamlet and my task was to create the movie poster that emphasized our new edgy, drug theme using a lot of red, a syringe, and a dark theme.
Shot at 720p 30fps on my Canon T1i, this is a montage I made from nearly a hundred of individual clips shot over the course of the night and composed in Final Cut Express. Click on the thumbnail to view the video.
Some graphic design we did to illustrate the opening of a bottle opener and in the second picture to illustrate a few justifications for the ridges in the handle.
This was the original design for my name's landing page where the photography was front and center with the green sprout prominently resting on top of the page as a semi-logo.
