Gravity Effects

Another beautiful set of artworks by illustrator Gianmarco Magnan aka Silence TV. I must buy some of his artworks from him.

Es la primera serie en la cual ilustro autos y he querido dedicar atención a 2 modelos antiguos no muy comunes:
El BMW isetta, el cual está ilustrado en el Print 023 y el Messerschmitt KR200 el cual está ilustrado en el Print 024. El haber ilustrado todos los autos sin neumáticos no tiene mayor explicación, simplemente cuando los tenían no se percibía con mucha claridad la sensación de estar: suspendido, cayendo, flotando o chochando es por eso que decidí simplemente obviarlos.

No sé si dedicaré alguna otra serie a este tema o a alguno similar. De momento estoy trabajando en una serie que tendrá como tema el segundo Album de Sixty Watts y también estoy trabajando algunos otros bocetos sobre “el espacio y el color”

Closer to the Edge

We just got the chance to watch Closer to the Edge. The cinematography is breathtaking, with the sheer speed portrayed around the course. The documentary itself does hold your attention for the length of the film. The slow motion and panning shots must look amazing in 3D (we still need to buy a 3D projector). It makes you want to go and see the TT for real. But definitely not ride in it, Guy Martin’s fiery crash at 170mph underlines how dangerous it is. Not to mention the fatalities.

Better Business By Design Exhibition

admin — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 13:20:37 +0000

This week we took part in the South East Design Forum design exhibition called Better Business by Design. The exhibition was all about highlighting the benefits that busiensses can take advantage of from employing good design throughout their business. Our submission was a case study showing the branding, print and web design carried out for Locutio Voice Technologies. The exhibition was attended by over 80 people on the opening night and on the whole was a great success.

Research shows that fewer than half of businesses in the South East believe design is integral to giving their business a competitive edge, yet at the same time three quarters of design-led business say they’ve gained a commercial advantage as a direct result of design. So where does your business fit? Progressing around the showcase you will be challenged to consider many areas of your business against showcased work; do you consider this within your business; could it be advantageous; where’s the benefit; could you pull in local colleagues to help discuss the issues and benefits?
