  • Teelocker shirts
    I was commissioned to design a collection of shirts. The subject was: whatever you want or like. So that was fun.
    The brief asked me to work with different styles, so i did some typographic (and fun) designs based on a recent trip to New York and, on the other hand, other designs trying to adapt the collage aesthetic to the tshirt world.

  • Little White Lies
    Little white lies magazine´s fifth creative brief was about designing a poster for the future movie of your dreams.
    It could be an adaptation of a book that hasn't been written, or the biopic of a man who never lived. The poster might be purely typographic, it could be illustrative. My poster was a runner-up, ending between the best 3. It was about an imaginary movie about –the writer- Raymond Roussel´s life, writings and death. Although he died almost 100 years ago, i find his ideas about writing, creativity and his work methods are still revolutionary and inspiring. I would love to see this movie shot someday :)..

  • Latex for fun
    Latex for fun is a book edited by Max-o-matic (Barcelona) and published by Gestalten (Berlin) with designer toys + diy ethics!
    The project started with a simple idea: create disposable "designer toys" with pure d.i.y. ethics. We started drawing over balloons what we would like to draw over vinyl toys, but we couldn´t afford. That´s how the Latex for fun project was born... and in a few months 135 designers from over 20 countries participated; Their work reflects various styles, personalities and cultures, but all of it shows how vibrantly creative the collaboration of a spontaneously generated global design network can be. Latex for fun is a book edited by Max-o-matic (Barcelona), and published by Gestalten (Berlín). To celebrate the release of the book, an exhibition will be held in Vallery (Barcelona) showcasing work from many artists involved in the project. Concept + edition + design: Max-o-matic Special Guests: Gaston Caba(balloon on the book´s cover), Jeremyville,Jon Burgerman, PulcoMayo, Sauerkids and Gaston Caba (designed the Latex toys included with the book). Gregori Saavedra (exhibition design).
