This is an amazing video created by some friends. When I first heard about the video, I didn’t know anything about it.

One of the things that really amused me on this video was the fact that it wasn’t actually filmed. It was photographed, with a Nikon D90, and then edited on Premiere.

They used some light painting that we have been experimented together a few times before.

The end result was quite fantastic and entertaining. Congratulation guys!

What do you think about it? I’d like to hea

Wow, I just saw this awesome piece of art. It is called “Protude Flow” and the artist behind this is Sachiko Kodana. It’s a magnetic fluid that is manipulated by electrodes on the acrilic surface. The electrodes are controled through voice. Stunning piece of art.

Creative Process – Air Magazine

This is one of my first Logo Designs after I graduated in Graphic Design. This was a very special ocasion, and one of those moments that you are uber inspired. The process of creating this logo was very easy and pleasant, although very unusual. It happenend in 2006, my girlfriend was on her last period in Fashion Design and she wanted to do a Fashion Magazine for her final exam. At the meantime, I had just got a new PowerBook G4, for a test drive, to see if I liked it. Indeed it was a very good computer.

Ok, no more lazy talk, let’s talk about the logo itself. In my creative process, I use lots of different ways to get to the final version of a logo. In this case the only concept I had in mind was that the logo had to be light. I had a nice typeface called Oneloda, since the typeface was not very modern, although unusual and still light, I started to cut the serifs out, and merge the “I” and the “R”. Here is a picture of how the process went.

After that we created and edited the whole magazine, with 42 pages, 4 fashion editorials, and some nice stuff.
