to move up and down
Very short shorts campaign
I found this great campaign from DDB New Zealand over at http://www.frederiksamuel.com and I am loving it. Isn’t it awesome?
Finding these videos this morning made my day. It’s great to see that other designers appreciate type the way I do and make it into a piece of art. There is nothing like exploring a new foreign city where you don’t know the language. The excitement, the adventures…type and pictures take a whole new role when you can’t read them. I hope you enjoy these videos as much as I did.

Faber-Castell latest ads
I love these new ads for Faber-Castell which is one of the largest manufacturers of pens and pencils. What I like about these ads is the fact that they are so simple but yet so powerful. Simplicity is key when creating ads because you only have seconds to catch someones attention. Bravo to Serviceplan. I bet we will see these ads in the Advertising Communication Arts Annual.
Great “calligraphy” look-alike fonts

Judge the book by its cover
One of my good friends from back home just finished working on the design for this beautiful book for Goya Foods Company and I am in love with the cover. Isn’t it cool?

If I could only draw…
I really wish I could draw. It comes so easily for some people and for others, well, it’s pretty much impossible. I’ve taken some drawing classes and I just need to admit that I wasn’t born with that part of my brain.
I saw this paintings from this Canadian-born artist called Ben Tour and they are amazing. I love the use of colors and the fact that there is a lot of white space. Enjoy more of his work here: http://www.thetourshow.com
