Other way of ART!

For those who are wondering where have I gone and what the h*** am I doing with my live... I´ll tell them just two words:
GRAPHIC DESIGN.

The thing is that when I came to Spain and my degree was completely finish, and after enjoying the wonderful spanish summer, I didn´t know how to continue.

The situation here in Spain is quite more complicated that in Sweden and specially for the young people. Despite my knowledge of graphic design was poor, I always like it a lot, and I decided to dig into it. And I´m really happy with my decision.

However it is being a really tough and stressful year, this is the main reason why I haven´t wrote before. We are working a lot, spanish masters degrees are different from europe´s. The lesson´s duration is just one year and then you´ll start a internship.This means that we are learning everything we have to know about graphic design in jut one year. I guess now is easy to understand why I´m so stressed.

We have done plenty of works and I´ll show you my best. However in the future we will make our own personal web page, and it´ll be better for showing all my work.

For those who don´t know the main difference of art and design, telling them that the design is art that can be reproduce all the times you want.

There´s a lot more specifications about graphic design but this is the main one.

Attached to this post I pasted one of the works I made, an infographic of the Graphic Design´s history. Sorry that is is spanish, but it´s easy to understand. Hope you enjoy it.

Instead of using blogger viewer, open it in a new window and it´ll be easier to look closer.

I haven´t gone anywhere...

It´s me again.

I know that it´s been quite a while since the last time I wrote here. But there´s a reason for it, I´ve been prepairing a solo exposition of the labels project in Arbetets Museum (Norrköping).

Exciting, isn´t it?For me a lot, and also it means a great oportunity and a huge step for growing up my work.

And, (I know that is a bit late) here I paste some of the show´s photos, I expect that all those persons from Spain that couldn´t came, for obvious reasons, enjoy them.

I´ve made, in the last weeks before the opening, more photo shots. I´ll include a entrance for them in this blog soon.

And to conclude, I want to say a very big THANK YOU to all those persons who helped me in that new adventure of exhibiting. You know who you are!
