since '98

MAD Museum ID

Homerun again by Pentagram for the Museum of Arts and Design. (Acronym? MAD Museum) The new graphic identity already seen throughout NYC. The geometric-based mark reflects the circles and squares present in the building’s shape; its location, on Columbus Circle; and the building’s iconic “lollipop” columns retained in the redesign.

View case study for examples of collaterals.

Noisulli Lacitpo

Noisulli Lacitpo is an experimental series. A personal study about illusion. Simple shapes, to create a clean pattern that is hiding a minimalistic visual. Pure fusion of lines written in a treaty. The treaty of the black lines.

Imagined by Alessandro Saglietti.

Flaunt book

Flaunt: Designing effective, compelling and memorable portfolios of creative work by Bryony Gomez-Palacio and Armin Vit of UnderConsideration.

Simple, get the book (hard copy or .pdf) and study it to prepare either your very first portfolio or to weed out and refresh your current one. 41 case studies. 18 experienced designers feedback. Pertinent vendors, services, stores, materials and suppliers to help you find equivalent locally.

As Shaughnessy states: “You should never consider your portfolio finished and you should always be dissatisfied with it.. Your portfolio requires endless work.. This never changes no matter how successful you have become.”

Un Techo para Chile

This picture is not a work of art (although it is strangely beautiful) nor is it retouched. A friend from Chile has contacted me and asked to relay this information. If you can and have room in your heart to reach out, any amount will make a difference when so many have lost everything (and we’re not just talking about stuff here).

Please donate via (a verified Paypal account) Un Techo para Chile.
