Remember your design teacher explaining you that you should pay attention to the details? It did sound annoying at the time, but they were perfectly right. Details are important and show great professionalism. The creative barcodes presented in this Weird Asia News article all have a thing in common: they take a small boring element […]

Typographie: A Manual of Design is a must-have book for every graphic designer. The author, Emil Ruder, is a Swiss typographer who thaught in that field for over twenty-five years and also became famous for his own design work.

This exhibition shows contemporary practices of graphic design around a common theme, object. When graphic design is released by the command and starts evolving by itself, the issue is the relationship they have with private space (at home) and public space (at everyone).

I have no specific interest in the major sport event that is the Olympic Games. It is way too politicized for me, and the money involved makes the whole thing look more like a big marketing opportunity than a sport reunion.

Then I did some more practical thinking and realized that it wouldn’t fit in most standard appartments, as well as I wouldn’t know what to put in it. A question that I never could […]

Infographics are surely a great topic for a thesis, but they get even better when they are funny, like on the above picture comparing the effect of LSD and alcohol. This one is part of an amazing serie of graphics showing different substances and how we behave towards trees after using them (not sure if […]

Sometimes you mind wanders in the most unusual places. It happened to me the other day as I was releasing the few extra beers I drank, and found myself concentrating on that little fly in the urinal. Then I thought about how that little insect made life a little better for the cleaning people who […]

If you are like me, you probably never heard of Breda (Netherlands) and didn’t know that a graphic design festival is held there.

Following are a few examples of creative use of Pantones in objects. If […]
