¡SAL! (spanish, salt; with exclamation mark: Get out!) is the memorabilia of the Industrial Design Class 07-09 at EscoLa Massana. It was a class-intern-competition and I won (!) a lot of work…

A right pinch of salt is as important for a delicious dish as a good designer for objects. In the last two years the polyurethane foam was our most important material making our ideas real, dusted air our daily oxygen, the crunchy sound eating a sandwich quite familiar… Most of us (some happy, others with sad eyes and a big piece of foam in their hands) are looking into a future of virtual 3D sketches in a very clean and dust-free workplace. ¡SAL! should remember us from where we come from and at the same time help us putting the right ingredients in our upcoming designs.

The foam-dust-cellar consists of a off-the-shelf recipient in four different kind of colors and a special designed polyurethane lid painted in another six colors. A simple sticker with the message: ¡SAL!UD AMOR DISEÑO inspired in the spanish “cheers” (¡Salud, amor y dinero!=Health, love & money!) serves as a seal. All of the foam-dust-cellars contain the same ingredient and best wishes for the future, but the colors make each of them unique just as everyone in our class is.  moremás »

A few days ago a friend of mine asked me to create an illustration. It was a special gift for her father, who got married last weekend. The guidelines were something like: “here you have their portraits, he loves the sea, she loves gardens, they both love to travel very much…” This is the final artwork. Hace unos días una amiga me ha pedido una ilustración para su padre como regalo de bodas. Las directrices eran algo así: “aquí tienes sus retratos, a él le gusta el mar, a ella los jardines, a ambos les gusta mucho viajar…” Me ha hecho mucha gracia el encargo. Y este es el resultado.Click below for some details. Haz click abajo para ver detalles.  moremás » 

Skipping through old sketchbooks, I found this project: back in the days, studying in Vienna; our teacher had the idea to let us (photography and graphicdesign students) play for three days “landscape artists” in a small village in the west of Austria. With all the “Green”DesignHype* right at the moment, I may post it… Mirando proyectos antiguos, me he encontrado con ese pequeño tesoro… Cuando estudiaba en Viena, mis profesores tenían la “gran” idea de que por tres días todos (estudiantes de diseñadores grafico y/o fotografia) nos pongamos el papel de artistas…

And that’s the whole project: Eso era mi proyecto:

This is the logo and the business card for the freelance journalist Toni García. He loves those old fashioned typewriters, and we found a way to reflect it in his card. Toni García es periodista freelance y un romántico de las viejas máquinas de escribir (¿Alguien recuerda dónde se conectaba el ratón?). Hemos hecho para él un logo y su tarjeta de visita.  moremás »
