#followfriday (or #ff) is a tradition started by Micah Baldwin (according to Mashable), whereby you name Twitter user your followers should know about. In addition to naming interesting users on Twitter, I provide a bit of background information on them in here. Enjoy!
Vanessa is a graphic designer based in Lisbon, Portugal. She tweets about design, user interface and the creative industry, and uses the Twitter handle @vanessasilva.
But even if you are not interested in any of these topics, consider following @vanessasilva because, every day, she publishes one picture made with the iPad app ‘Paper’. They are absolutely beautiful. This is one of my favourites.
More information about her work is available here.
