My naMe is anthony salvador and
you‘ve in vited a friend to
i‘M originally froM los angeles.
Ger m a n y; na me one place they
i preMaturely ended My studies at the art Center in pasadena to
really m ust visit a nd a quintessential experience you rec-
work in Berlin and possiBly pursue further studies in europe. i foCus Most of My attention on printed Matter within the Cultural seCtor and have CoMe to find joy in CollaBoration… espeCially when i get to pay the heating Bill afterwards.

-W h at is Ger m a n?
tough to say, BeCause i personally haven‘t explored enough of gerMany yet. But if a friend CaMe here, i would say to visit Berlin. it‘s MuCh too easy to find a BunCh of things to do here that start early in the Morning and end (or Continue) well Beyond the saMe tiMe you started the day Before. i do reCoMMend this funky Bar Called pong.
a language i‘M still trying to understand.

it‘s hard to say BeCause i feel that the world is so interConneCted that regional aesthetiCs/ ideas have Been influenCed By Many other ideas not froM that region. this Might Be Mainly due to the sharing of ideas/knowledge Made rapidly availaBle By Means of the internet. i feel that gerMan design Could Be generalized as Being striCt and rigid, yet i find that if you look, you Can find work that has attitude and life. describe you r Wor kinG process. it really depends on the projeCt. soMetiMes i work just By talking to the Client and interChanging ideas aBout what should Be Made and get to work visualizing those thoughts. other tiMes i have a Client who has no idea what they want, and i just have to go Build soMething or think aBout soMething CoMpletely different and irrelevant to develop soMe sort of thought in My suBConsCious. i don‘t think i‘ve taCkled projeCts By using the saMe proCess twiCe. W h at do you aim to achieve With you r Wor k? i would like to end world hunger… or at least develop soMe Booklets with tips on how to do that.
i feel that soMe people take this <profession> a Bit too seriously. i have learned that if you don‘t have fun with your work, it will BeCoMe a Chore and the voiCe in your work will refleCt that. if that BeCoMes the Case, it Can Be hard to Build up the spirit again to explore, so soMetiMes it‘s good to iMprovise and let things slide. --
