Hope you like the new “color at the end of the spectrum next to orange and opposite violet, as of blood, fire, or rubies” that I decided to primarily use for the blog. I am looking for a full time job while working on freelance projects at Empax, with whom I collaborated last summer to create the new brand SOUND.

So much adrenaline going on in the making of this public intervention! Just as a reminder, the motivation behind doing this was because I have a very dear friend that used to have nightmares when he was a child because of the Church. On a similar note check out this recent New York Times article:  http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/07/world/europe/07london.html Music “L’eau De...

I should’ve really prepared my interview but, oh well, here you go. Thanks for editing the awkward parts! Reminder: Model Citizen is a line of umbrellas defending freedom of expression and basic human rights. I strongly feel that the advancement of world culture and society depends on our ability to protect an open market of ideas. I used this opportunity to openly express my opinions and...

Three ads created for a final year project at Istituto Europeo di Design, Barcelona. Edited and Animated by Olivia Aracil. Filmed by Assaf Dagan, Nika Hellstrom and Olivia Aracil. Written and Directed by me. Even though this is an old project (2005, I think) it still brings great memories because I really enjoyed doing it.

The amazing 1984 documentary about Harvey Milk. Also check out the movie MILK that should still be out in theaters, with Sean Penn as Harvey Milk. Happy New Year boys and girls!

The assignment for Stephen Doyle’s class was to recreate any fairy tale using any medium and to most importantly have fun. Gustavo Garcia, Scott Suiter and I decided to make a coloring book and do what you do with coloring books.

Allan Chochinov (one of the 3D Product instructors at SVA MFAD) gave this talk at the PSFK Conference New York in Spring 2008. This relates to the first assignment he gave our class which consisted on making pooper scoopers. What happened when we were asked a supremely stupid question in the hopes of driving innovation? Lots of bad and good shit!

Todo lo que empieza termina...
So the school year has been over for nearly a month now and I’ve been busy relaxing and getting back into the real world. I still continue to post frequently on The Critical Eye for the CRIT Blog and I am really excited to be interning at EMPAX starting this Wednesday. New York City is beautiful right now, full of green everywhere. Soon some posts on the “fashion show” and the...

Adobe Suite CS4
Some Adobe guys just came to give us a taste of what Adobe Suite CS4 will be all about. Basically there is more integration between the programs. InDesign CS4 can export to SWF and you can set the transition of your pages in your Flash file right from InDesign CS4. Extremely simple. They also talked about After Effects and Flash integration (which is an obvious one) and about Adobe Media Player,...

For Stefan Sagmeister’s first assignment we had to touch the heart of a small community that was close to us, using design. I choose to make a set of plates with personal and meaningful lyrics on them for my mother, my father and my brother, so when eating alone the experience was not that lonely.
