The photographs published in this book are part of a series of five different make-ups inspired by the repetition of patterns and figures that are constantly found in nature. The makeup has been made using different tools, brushes, sponges, vinyl insoles and airbrush. Black makeup on the model and color photography shot on black background also create a visual effect in which the silhouette of the model is outlined only by white circles.

HELLMANN’S Hellmann’s was founded over 100 years ago when Richard Hellmann opened his first deli in New York. Sadly, through years of design iterations, the layers of heritage had been watered down to a point where the brand had lost its true identity. Our challenge was to give Hellmann’s a fresh look; one that was true to its roots and values. It was in the original deli that Richard tied a blue ribbon around his best mayonnaise, and this was what sparked our creative idea, ‘born in the deli’. We took inspiration from historical packaging and the original delicatessen, with its deli tickets, food crates and wrapping materials. Beautifully imperfect detailing captures the warm, welcoming realness of the deli and the pleasure that comes from enjoying good food. Our label echoes the shape of a counter service ticket torn from a paper reel, and features a texture inspired by the wrapping material used for freshly made deli sandwiches. The new handcrafted typeface is a nod to the in-line lettering seen on Richard’s original deli store windows. Refining the synthetic colours of old, our new palette is far more natural; the synthetic yellow has been replaced with Hellmann’s Ochre, and the bright blue is now Hellmann’s Blue, inspired by the colour of the Blue Ribbon. The new Hellmann’s identity and packaging reflects the authenticity, quality and humble roots of the brand. It’s a result that changes perceptions, helping move Hellmann’s from a mayonnaise range to a condiments and dressings brand. Client: Hellmann´s 2017

FORTNUM & MASON PICCADILLY BISCUITS Among Fortnum’s many products you will find a delectable array of classic English ‘Piccadilly biscuits’, made to the company’s very own, special recipes. Our task was to update the previous tins, which featured the Fortnum’s clock, and create unique packaging for this collection that was both eye-catching and gift worthy. Biscuits are the perfect partner to a cup of tea - a pairing which got us thinking about the beautifully decorated china tea sets of the Regency period, from which the store originates. With the start of an idea, we scoured F&M’s archives to find ceramics from the brand’s past. Combining vintage patterns with architectural details from around the store, and re-interpreting some of the distinctive ceramic design elements we came across, we created a bespoke, ownable plate design.

_ 20

To add pace and interest on shelf, each tin in the range features a different section of the plate in varying scales, bright colours, and F&M’s signature eau de nil. Offset watercolour patterns and sweeping colours give the whimsical design a worn, imperfect feel, as if handpainted. With meticulous detailing, we ensured that each illustrated section of the plate flows around the entire tin to form one seamlessly connected pattern. The striking result is unique to Fortnum’s, referencing the Georgian era of the store but with a modern twist. Client: Fortnum & Mason 2017

DB 30TH ANNIVERSARY PRINT To mark Design Bridge’s 30th anniversary we decided to update the limited edition family tree print created to celebrate the company’s 20th anniversary. We used the annual growth rings of a tree as a way to represent the company’s 30 year history; a symbolic idea that is instantly understood. Delicate and beautiful, our typographic tree rings reveal a deeper meaning beyond what looks, at first glance, to be a simple linear formation. Made up of more than 1,300 names with the founders at its heart, the 30 tree rings represent each year of Design Bridge’s history. With meticulous detailing, and typsetting in collaboration with experts Counterpress, our illustration emulates the irregular rings found within a real tree trunk. We chose to highlight every tenth ring in a different metallic copper tone, signifying the changing decades of the business. It’s a keepsake for every member of the team that celebrates the success of one of the few remaining independent design agencies of our size. 2017

PARK PERGOLA MÁXIMAPARK The Park pergola in the Leidsche Rijn Park is the place where nature and culture come together. This botanical and ecological pergola offers the park visitors esthetic delight in a cultural-historical context and provides a greater diversity in flora and fauna. The pergola is proposed to be 3,5 km long and 6m high and surrounds in an open and transparent way the green courtyard of the Máximapark, called “The Binnenhof”, a secluded, natural area. images by West 8 Client: Project Bureau Leidsche Rijn 2009 - 2013

ROTTERDAM CENTRAL STATION With the advent of both the HST and RandstadRail, the number of daily travelers at Rotterdam Centraal is expected to increase to almost 325,000 per day by 2025. The design team created a station that can accommodate and evolve with this volume; it is not only larger, brighter and more orderly than the old station, but also has an international feel. The new station beautifully complements both the efficiency of the Hispeed stop and the City of Rotterdam’s bold ambitions for urban development and renewal.

DAYS OF NIGHT NIGHTS OF DAY The daily life of the city Norilsk in the North of the polar circle. The documentary was supported by the LagardĂ¨re foundation grant for photography. Norilsk, in northern Russia, is (after Murmansk) the second-largest city within the Arctic Circle, with a population of over 177,000 inhabitants.It is also one of the ten most polluted cities in the world. 2 million tones of gas are emitted every year, 100 000 ha of tundra in the radius of 30 km are dead, and the life expectancy in that region is 10 years lower than in other regions of Russia. Rich metals and mineral deposits make the region a primary global source of such commodities as nickel, cobalt, platinum and palladium, and Norilsk maintains the biggest metallurgical and mining complex in the world. Norilsk endures an extremely harsh climate, with temperatures dropping below -50Â°C in the winter, and rising until the high 20s or 30s in the brief summer months. The city is covered in snow for 250-270 days a year, has frequent violent snowstorms and experiences the polar night from November to midJanuary, when the sun does not rise above the horizon.

With the combination of an infographic work with new technologies an interactive exposition, where the attenders will be able to play with the pieces is obtained, so the viewer will be able to become a part of the game instead of being just a passive spectator, by taking part of the game that is showed. The exposition will also be available through a digital platform, which will become a space for the interaction of the users. The aim is to create a community of people interested in independent cinema, were they can share and discover independent works and directors and, at the same time, debate and discuss their opinions and curiosity about anything related with this world.

CHILLAX Behind the movies there is a universe of elements and different processes, from creation to projection: what is formal and what has to do with emotions. It seems that nowadays we are forgetting this part since many movies are offered without knowing who needs them and why. Hence the aim of this investigation, that studies feelings, emotions and needs. ÂżWhy do we watch movies? Chillax wants to offer a new approach to film-watching, oriented to the emotions and experiences from the audience to provoke a closer relationship and a personal identification with TNT. A new atmosphere that is attractive to its followers, without leaving behind its essence and position. To watch a movie is some kind of ritual that implies thousands of both physical and emotional decisions, a ritual to scape and share. We make decisions and choose according to our current mood: Chillax translates it in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The perfect movie: 24 memories per secondâ&#x20AC;?. The main concept is made of different situations that look for experiences of comfortability and relax, physical comfort, emotional connection, sense of humor, memories or scars (that come from our experiences) connecting the viewer with the world of the cinema. During and after the movie we, as spectators, face a few processes of analysis, learning, scape from routine, revive memories about people, places and feeling related with other movies or personal moments, making this way the movie itself something transcendent and organic, something that is emotional. All of this is what the Chillax ritual represents. Chillax applies facial recognition technology

_ 44

and pulse measuring to interpret the reactions from the viewer. It reacts at data interpretation and facial mapping, detecting emotions. It is a mass, a being that is able to react or change according to the state of mind of the person that is in front of it. This shape has a large amount of graphic representations to accomplish its diverse aims. Its transformation is the identity, the key point of the project since everything is reflected on its chromatic and morphologic changes. To make animation possible, I created a movement mesh that contained the points where the transformation takes place. That is, I created a map of the mass as if it was a human face. I split the audience into two main groups: the Learned and the Pop Corned. The Learned are the ones that know about the seventh art, they know about directors, actors, scenarios, framing. The Pop Corned are the ones that watch movies only for pleasure, to entertain themselves in their free time. Both groups share some feelings: for all of them watching a movie is a ritual full of choices that each one of them lives in their own way. Chillax, 24 memories per second/ The perfect movie. A translator that understands your own way of living every important moment of your life, creating a data base about your day to day with the aim to suggest the perfect movie for everyone in every particular moment.

ODE TO NOTHING The project ‘Ode to Nothing’ contains the nothing machines that catch signals from the air and convert them into a current to produce sound. The project started with Mats’ fascination of all the invisible networks that are all around and make sure that all our devices work. Based on the crystal radio, the nothing machines receive radio waves and use these waves as a power source. The installation shows the almost magical powers of the networks and the energy of the signals that are all around us. Photos: Kristof Vrancken Personal project 2013

RHINOCEROS by Daan Paans & Autobahn Time: In his photographic projects, Daan Paans (1985, NL), investigates the concept of time. He is interested in the way time -past, present and futureshapes our interpretation of the world. Paans applies his artistic research to his topics by connecting several multi layered case studies to it. These cases reveal questions on the topic from different perspectives and time frames, using the three stages of past -presentfuture as a guideline. In this latest project Rhinoceros he states one main question: How do the ever more tangible representations of the past and future become part of our contemporary reality? He uses three case studies: the representation of the prehistory in the nineteenth century, bringing flashes of history alife in the present, and the representation of the future in science fiction. Ultimately, the project sets the basis on which we base our collective perception of past and future.

Alphabet: The history of our alphabet is one of creating, copying, reducing and altering in order to create a communication system. What started as a drawing of an Ox head in Syria/Iraq around 3000 B.C., we now recognize as a capital letter A. And most of our modern letters find its origin in representations of images. E: a lattice window S: a tooth C: a boomerang R: a human head In collaboration with Daan Paans we designed a typographic header for this exhibition. We used layers of transparent sheets to represent the change of our alphabet throughout time. Past and present of written communication methods come together in one image. Forming a Rรถntgenphoto of the core of our written communication. Object specifications: Wood, glass, print on transparent sheets, 103 x 39 cm.

Textile Design Amsterdam, Netherlands. www.mae-engelgeer.nl

MAE ENGELGEER Dutch designer Mae Engelgeer attended the Amsterdam Fashion Instituut where she specialized in textile design, graduating in 2004. Later she was accepted to the prestigious Master Course in Applied Arts at the Sandberg Instituut and developed her first collection of textiles at TextielLab. In 2014 Engelgeer opened her own studio in Amsterdam, working on product design and development, installations, and international collaborations. Mae Engelgeerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work is characterized by a typical use of colour, geometric shapes and linear elements which is unmistakably hers. An eye for detail and sense of composition are important in her designs when it comes to introducing balance throughout a design. Her style has an open character that could be described as minimalistic with a playful twist. She cleverly combines craft, new technology and materials into beautiful textiles that enrich any home, without losing ground on refinement or quality.

_ 64

_ 65

BLISS COLLECTION Inspiration for this project came from a sample that Mae Engelgeer created, shaping round curves and trying to create a 3D effect. After a period of using straight graphic lines, and feeling almost captured by it, she felt the need to use bold shapes again. Keeping the playfulness of the Memphis movement in mind and experimenting with shape and color was the start of the BLISS collection. Mixing elements like pattern and form with different production techniques giving life to the rugs. Using high quality materials like Himalayan wool with pure silk makes some parts literally glow. She refers to it as â&#x20AC;&#x153;jewelleryâ&#x20AC;? for your space. 2017

MONO COLLECTION The new Mono collection is inspired by vintage kimonoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s found during travels in Japan. Intrigued by the securely chosen colors, patterns and detailing seen on several fabrics and surroundings. The aesthetic of the woven fabrics in the mono collection are an ode to Japanese craftsmanship, translated into blankets, cushions and tea towels. The colors used for this collection are vivid peach and blush, beige, hues of a grey, lila and anthracite, accompanied by black and white. The collection consists out of 4 woven blankets with a signature dash, 2 tea towels with a lurex seam and 3 cushions with colors referring to metal. All pieces are developed and woven at the TextileLab in The Netherlands, using high quality yarns like mohair and merino wool.

SHE IS IN HIGH SCHOOL The project â&#x20AC;&#x153;She Is In High Schoolâ&#x20AC;? reveals the discrepancy between the image of fashion models we see in magazines and their actual place in life. The girls who participated in the project are all professional models and are only 15-17 years old. The goal of the project is to make a social commentary on the fact that there are very young models working in fashion and advertising industry, that are being seen as adults by the viewer. Misleading the viewer and sometimes setting unrealistic standards, they are being misled themselves. 2016

The project “She is in high school” was shot in studio in sets, replicating retro classroom environment. I asked the set designer for a specific color palette so that the walls and furniture would match the model’s outfits, inspired by the 70’s. All the models were told the story behind the project and asked to pose as high school students. All the pictures were taken in one day.

All the girls were shot with no makeup and post production included very small amount of skin retouching as the idea was to portray the girls as they are. To achieve the final vintage look of the images I applied local and global color grading. Set design: Espen Gjertzen Øydvin. espenoydvin.com

YOU ARE MY TWIN A psychological study of the relationship between twins. Intertwined with surrealist props and metaphors, this photographic series charts the emotions and experiences between these inextricably linked individuals through four narrative based works. Often twins can be considered as a single entity, whereas certain twins choose different paths in order to develop an individual identity. It is through the exploration of these ideas I seek to illustrate aspects of this complex relationship. I started working on this project by putting my ideas on paper.

AUGMENTED REALITY

_ 78

I sketched out the sets, clothing and props and brought the sketches to a set designer and a clothing designer. From the sketches stage it took about three weeks until everything was ready. The props – the fish, two giant eggs, antlers and a pair of white wheels were made by a talented set designer Espen Øydvin. The costumes were made by fashion designer Elena Slivnyak. In one studio day we built two walls and were able to change four sets in them. Therefore I was able to shot all four images in one day. The models – two 7 years old twin sisters – had a lot

of fun on set playing with the props and costumes. I shot these with Hasselblad H3D digital camera, 120mm lens. After processing the raw files in Lightroom and applying global adjustments it took me about 25 hours to do retouching, lighting correction and color grading of all four images in Photoshop. The studio facilities and all possible help at the shoot was kindly offered by Photigy Playground and Alex Koloskov.

HOMES Is a series of acrylic paintings on paper illustrating a utopian view of the concept of home. The exaggerated colors, the distorted perspectives and the emptiness of the living spaces and their surroundings make the work distance itself from a known reality to depict a new one. The work dissolutes itself from the characteristic of a personal living environment. The new architectural excerpts like the inside/outside views are the assembly parts of new integral spaces. ÂŤHomesÂť is also inspired by midcentury villas and modernist homes from around the world and especially from Palm Springs. Personal project 2016/2017

URBAN BAG For us, urban nomads, our bag has to be more than just utilitarian, it has to fit our lifestyle. It is our home on the go, our luggage, our image. Scratch your own itch I was looking for a reliable, lightweight, water resistant, vegan AND stylish daily bag. Except for sport and outdoor equipments, I just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find all those criteria in one bag. As a graphic designer, I receive a lot of swatch books from paper suppliers and this is how I discovered the paper-like Tyvek material. A material with unique proprieties. Even if it looks and feels like paper, Tyvek is a non woven product made of 100 percent high density polyethylene (HDPE) fibres. Durable, light weight, water resistant, washable, non toxic, acid free and neutral pH are among Tyvekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s properties. It makes a terrific choice for this project. Form and function. From home to office and everything in between, the Urban Bag will follow everyone with style. Wave of heat, cold winter or rainy day, it is reliable under any weather. It is foldable and even crushable so it might also be use as a back-up bag. The berlingot shape will always gives some volume to the bag even though the material will get softer with usage. It can be carried by hand or on the shoulder. When not in use, the shoulder straps are aesthetically folded under the bag. A side sewn flap without seams on top protects the content from rain. Urban crowd and frequent traveler will be happy to learn that the black urban bag weighs less than 100 grams. Vegan will be happy too! Environmental notes. Tyvek can be mechanically recycled into durable products. This Urban Bag is made of 100 percent Tyvek. It has no zipper, button, snap fastener or hook. By only using rectangle shapes there is almost no material waste. 2016

BLAH BLAH DAY This publication reports interviews with local residents of Sibiu, Romania. Incredibly, me and my friend talked to 18 strangers without any special purpose during only one day. It was understood as an experiment only afterwards. Thereby it has become an overview of unplanned connections with unknown people that we will never see again. There is a color coding. Black and white are used to indicate the actions and words from us, two Russian tourists. Red is used for strangers. The conversations consist of a combination of 3 languages: Romanian, English and Russian. For clarity, it is pointed out which languages every person knows and uses. There are 10 parts with conversations. Each new meeting is presented by a page with a speaker’s portrait and language skills. The next spread includes an insert with a dialog. The size of the insert depends on duration of the talk. And the fourth page closes this part. Before and after such section there are photos of conversation place. And between these bright red parts there are white pages which describe our actions and chatter when we were alone. This alternation of red and white spreads creates a general rhythm of the book. In the end, there are all photos of people with a further brief description of our connection with them. The structure of the book shows this “blah-blah-blah” with a special monotony and even begins with the first phrase on the cover and ends with the last phrase on the back cover.

HOARDER It is an art project about strange attitude to own things. I have a fear from thought about throwing away my things, even if they have not been used for years. Installation is 3D prototype of my real room. I saved an absolute compliance in calculations. All the real furniture has been shown with transparent material to make it more similar to a package. All things are shown as bright neon boxes meaning its value. And then there is a large head in which it’s all installed because all problems come from our head… 160 pages of additional booklet document plenty of collected things. There are broken mobile phones, stickers, tickets, packages, notebooks and other useless artifacts of everyday life, which change my shelves into museum of significant rubbish. Personal project 2016

SERIAL SEEDS Is inspired by the ambience of industrial courtyards, environments where the remains and refuse of unused materials coexist with wild plants sprouting here and there. The first collection by Eric Mish, whose real name is Eric Solerdelcoll, uses unconventional materials to create clothing and accessories made of recycled elements, scrapped fine cotton knit material, silver insulation fabric or metal structures. Thanks to these innovative materials, the designer manages to create new forms and volumes by redefining the male silhouette and breathing new life into everyday elements. The colour palette is dominated by whites, pale blues, greys and intense touches of fluorescent green to represent artificial elements, which are a key feature in industrial estates. 2017

In addition, the models from the Sugar Kids and Barcino Management agencies will wear wearable technology designed by Canadian inventor, artist and researcher Steve Mann, MD in Media Arts (1997) by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and internationally known as the “father of wearables” thanks to his early research that merged technology and art in the eighties.

THE GREEN BAG At the end of 2013 I found a bag with pieces of wire that someone had given me a some years ago and that over time had been forgotten on a shelf. I opened it and spread the fragments on my table. When I saw that amount of different shapes lying in front of my eyes without any kind of correlation among them, I instantly associated their image with the pages of a dictionary. They were random shapes that, like words, seemed to be searching a sentence that could complete and give them meaning. This is how this collection was born. My aim was giving to each one of those wires a context that could give them meaning. Actually, it is an exercise similar to poetry. Poetry does not create the words but organizes and links them so they can express something. I do not create the shapes; I just place them on a surface and compose them with other elements to give them a meaning. 26 sculptures have been formed with the wires of the bag, and I have used each and every wire that it contained. Target achived. Personal project 2014

REDESIGNING THE SHOES BRAND “EL NATURALISTA” El Naturalista is a shoe brand “made in Spain” that has spread in more than 40 countries all over the world. Since its foundation in 2001, its ecological and sociable responsible philosophy has been summarised on the three big “P”: people, planet and product. The starting point of the redesign project is the way in which amphibians were represented by the ancient civilizations, both formal and conceptual “return to the origins”. After an arduous analysis about the symbology that the animal represented, and about its different ways of representation throughout the history, we discovered that our most ancient antecesors had a great capability of abstraction, even though nowadays this result looks paradoxically modern.

BEATLES Main title sequence to the film “Beatles” based on the much loved book of the same name by Lars Saabye Christensen. A sixties inspired title sequence that sets the tone for the film, highlighting notable political and cultural events of the time. We also attempted to hint towards the the coming of age theme of the film by evolving the style from a more rigid, early sixties inspired design into a more psychedelic/ late sixties aesthetic over the course of the titles.

MONCHOCO Mon Choco is a chocolate brand based in Ivory Coast. The main characteristic of the brief was that our clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family had been working with cocoa for generations. She decided to formalize her grandfatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company putting special attention in highlighting that every ingredient and process of every product will be crafted locally, an unusual characteristic of luxury products over there. We created an illustration that tells the story about the people of Ivory Coast and the way they harvest the cocoa, respecting the traditions in order to make delicious versions of chocolate. Later, that illustration was used as a texture in all the packaging versions. The rest of the branding solution represents the high quality of the products by giving the sensation of luxury. For us, it was an honor to be part of the creation of a brand that has such respect for values that we treasure as well: the respect of the land, the handmade work, the high quality ingredients, and the pursuit of perfection through taking care of every little detail.

So, I don’t have a personal style in my illustrations. My style depends on the target and on what I have to communicate. Perhaps there could be a personal touch, like a mechanical could have, but not a unique style.

EDITORIAL WEEKLY is a weekly based project: one illustration to represent one article from an international magazine. In this self promotion project I try to give a personal reading to daily international issues through conceptual illustrations. The interesting thing about making this illustration was how to represent the loss of freedom avoiding to use too much visual metaphors. To avoid falling into visual clichés, a good illustrator, as far as I am concerned, has to feed his brain with good meals: reading books, listening to music, walking outdoors.

CRISTIANA COSTIN University of Reading, Department of Typograhy & Graphic Communication Category: Information Design. City: Bucharest, Romania Work Name: Combinophy The project is a personal one, I did it for myself and from the bottom of my heart. It started as a game in which I tried to combine those old-school features of analog 35 mm photography with the new digital vibe, the minimal stroke, the line, the pure colour because, you know, opposites attract, right?! I used this rule to create a powerful contrast between the old and the new, between a realistic view of the reality (the photography) and a minimal, iconic one (the illustration). It evolved from my passion for analog photography, a hobby which I have been feeding for a few years now. What I love most about this kind of photography is the granulation and the overall vintage dreamy effect. A picture tells a certain story, but, like a little God, I want to change that story, to mix it, to develop a new one and to make the viewer think and notice what was there before and after. Since 2014, ongoing.

CAROL DĂ?AZ ESDIR, Escuela Superior de DiseĂąo de La Rioja Category: Graphic Design and Photography City: Cascante, Spain Work Name: Invisible

_ 182

Branding creation for an association of Multiple Sclerosis, an illness that appears almost in an invisibly and silent way. Hence the naming and the concept of invisible. Giving an own essence, turning something bad in something good.

We experimented with superpositions in vegetable papers and photochromic ink, which is invisible unless exposed to sunlight. The result is a deconstructed trademark, superposing among them and having a positive meaning when separating it.

CAROL DÍAZ ESDIR, Escuela Superior de Diseño de La Rioja Category: Graphic Design and Photography City: Cascante, Spain Work Name: Analogía

Analogía is a book about Multiple Sclerosis presented as a traveling guide. Is an analogy among the illness and the nature of Navarra. It offers a new point of view that the patient could have never imagine it.

The voyage begins in Bardenas Reales, dessert and lonely landscape, like the beginning of the illness, until it reaches the forests from the north. The content, the illness and the vegetation progress along the book. A trip inside the illness trip itself.

ANTÓN GUERRERO ESI, Escuela Superior de Diseño de Valladolid Category: Graphic Design City: Ourense, España. Work Name: Yokisho I created a pattern with the geometric shapes that I could get from the typical landscapes of the places of origin of each tea, applying organic textures on the whole packaging. We can distinguish three kinds of infusion within this family: Agaragar tea (blue): This infusion comes from the depths of the ocean. Agaragar is the name of a jellied substance that can be obtained from certain seaweeds, the person that drinks it in the shape of infusion gets an obvious increase of elasticity on her skin that is much more effective than any anti-aging lotion. Pu-erh tea: (red): Is an exclusive infusion that has been consumed for ages among the noble Chinese families. It is obtained with the fermentation of a fungus and a few plants in bamboo barrels that lasts between 40 and 60 years. The attributes of this drink are exceptional. Thanks to its especial fermentation, the infusion is able to get rid of body fat, detox, purify he blood and prevent cardiorespiratory illnesses. Gunpowder tea: (green): an infusion that comes from the remote Chinese region of Zhejiang. The tea is known as gunpowder because of its close resemblance with gunpowder, this appearance can be explained by the way in which the leaves are stored once gathered, they are wrapped in rolls to keep their proprieties. This drink is beneficial for mouth’s health thanks to its high percentage of magnesium and fluoride.

PAU LOPEZ Istituto Europeo di Design, IED Madrid Category: Graphic Design, editorial City: Madrid, Spain Work Name: Written by him Captured by her By the pseudonym Him, Brent Colthrust, a British writer, shares brief lover and motivational poems on his social media profiles. His words contrast with the large amount of superficial posts found on these medias. My photos –by her–, showing landscape or city scenes, appear related to this images invasion we are involve in. Behind them, we would be able to find beauty if we get enough time to discover it. Readers should try to evade themselves from banal things, by breaking these pictures, to find Colhtrust’s poems. This metaphor of closing your eyes and breaking with the everyday things is illustrated by the pages structure, the book binding and its envelope. Collaboration with Brent Colthrust. 2017

periods that illustrate the artist’s evolution. That fact is essential to keep the harmony with the graphic design, which gives evidence of freshness and evolution though the flight. 2017
