16.

16 is the number of the letters that composes my last name. Every graphic designer has experienced the joy of branding her/himself. I've been developing a marque for myself.

An afternoon at the V&A

I spent a couple of hours at the V&A this weekend to go to see an exhibition called Decode.

It just ended last sunday. Here is the synopsis of the exhibition that you can find on the V&A website:

The exhibition explores three themes: Code presents pieces that use computer code to create new works and looks at how code can be programmed to create constantly fluid and ever-changing works.Interactivity looks at works that are directly influenced by the viewer. Visitors will be invited to interact with and contribute to the development of the exhibits. Network focuses on works that comment on and utilise the digital traces left behind by everyday communications and looks at how advanced technologies and the internet have enabled new types of social interaction and mediums of self-expression.

I just posted some pictures of my favourite projects, especially the ones that involves synesthesia (the production of a sense impression related to one sense by stimulating another sense). How can we translate a sound into visual elements? Universal everything give us one of their interpretation. I also enjoyed the interactive projects where I was painting a blank digital canvas only with the motions of my body.

Photoshop advert

I love when craft meets high technologies.

“As real as it gets” says this advert for the new Adobe Photoshop CS4.

a screenprinting sunday

How lovely is to wake up on a sunday morning for a screenprinting session.

It happened at the Print Club from 11am to 4pm. A good idea to get away from your computer and having a hands-on experience of printing your artwork on different types of paper and with inks that you would never be able to get from a regular house printer.

Green has several meanings. Each meaning could be illustrated by a particular tone of green. I decided to use the different key words that reflect green and laid them out within the green spectrum.

Green and imagery

Some random green images I picked today!

Green - a collaborative thought

Today is St Patrick's day. I asked my colleague to give me an image that features the colour Green. Jo went for Lady Gaga's insane outfit, Daisy imagines Jesse and myself driving this cute "pea" truck, Matt gave me Kermit the frog and finally Kate offered me two of her shots she took herself: a nice close-up of Peacock feathers and a psychedelic jelly fish.
