El pequeño angular

Grey — Thu, 27 May 2010 16:13:00 +0000

I had the opportunity of developing and designing the brand for this bistro located in Monterry, Mexico. I worked identifying the restaurant’s target audience, defining the brand values and designing the name and graphical representation as a natural consolidation of the brand values.

Three new characters

Grey — Fri, 07 May 2010 00:03:42 +0000

just like anyone else, I really like Chuck Close

The guilt of the west

Grey — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 15:48:32 +0000

The idea of guilt cristalized into green, local and sustainable thiking completely fascinates me lately.

Élite Clásica

Grey — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 17:02:00 +0000

Graphic identity design for Élite Clásica, an internet project that wants to become the center for all spanish speaking classical music aficionados. I avoided functionality and clarity on purpose so I could depict sensuality and depth and take a strong stance on fast visual consumption.

Proyecto Nanna

Grey — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 16:50:10 +0000

Proyecto Nanna is a non profit project that sells limited edition pieces of famous artists and designers and then use part of the revenue to help kids in the developing world. This project is currently stalled.

Tenders

Grey — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 16:30:26 +0000

Graphical redesign of the Tenders project which is part of ManyThings. A webapp that gathers homeowners looking for improvements with independent contractors.

X Bienal de Arquitectura Española

Grey — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 21:50:48 +0000

Luis Urculo asked me to do the banner graphics and icons which were then staged and photographed to serve as the core of the Tenth Bianual exhibition of Spanish Arquitecture (X Bienal de Arquitectura Española). I am really proud to have taken part in the latest act of terrorism in favor of fun and humor in architecture, from the creators of the Bohadilla party and many more art gigs.

The biggest (and the most fun) challenge was making dozens of icons to represent extensive and sophisticated architecture projects while keeping susprise half unspoiled. After I got that done, I could focurs on creating the messages with a look 50% improvised 50% intentional, 50% pro 50% amateur, 50% good 50% bad (bad-good).

Manythings

Grey — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 08:00:42 +0000

Manythings is a young an innovatitve internet services conglomerate and I helped them to analize their needs and the perception of their investors, users and clients to create a system for brand cohesion and growth. Once we had a sustainable conceptual fundation, we created the name, graphic identity and applications for the group (Manythings) and graphical identities for their two first projects, Tenders and Élite Clásica.

Esese

Grey — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 19:16:52 +0000

Identity redesign, applications, print ads, promotional poster/portfolio and texts for Esese, a spanish architecture studio. Web programming by V&G.

Francisco de Vitoria

Grey — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 01:05:23 +0000

I created a proposal for a new identity and web for Francisco de Vitoria, an architecture faculty in Madrid, Spain. The project wasn’t bought for reasons outside design and it’s still one of my favorite projects.

Misratah University 7th of October

Grey — Mon, 25 May 2009 00:28:53 +0000

ACXT-Idom is an architecture and ingeniering studio that was asked to design and build a new university campus in Misratah, Libia. This university is going to represent a big step for building a new education plan in Libia and also a link to the past of mediterranean culture. David Diez and I were asked to design paper and interactive material to explain the project conceptually and I had the chance to design various posters.

Maxi

Grey — Mon, 18 May 2009 00:28:15 +0000

I designed the new identity and website for Maxi, a friend, industrial designer and artist. There’s a poster that is currently being printed, real imgs soon.

ViyoiTV

Grey — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 00:21:59 +0000

I created the name and logo for a new company dedicated to market new interactive-TV and mobile apps. This is one company that acts in many fields instead of a company with divisions or teams. It is a company that plays many instruments for many audiences, one recognizable musician playing many songs. Hence visual declinations without a center: “a tree made of branches, a bush with blackberries and jar full of candy”.

RodandoRuido

Grey — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 00:17:16 +0000

I designed the identity and website for RodandoRuido, a podcast about pop spanish music.

Flyer for “Thieves like us” gig

Grey — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 13:12:42 +0000

A ver fast production flyer for “Thieves like us”

Julian Lopez Galan

Grey — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 02:39:00 +0000

I did the new identity and website for Julián Lopez Galán. He is an architect with a career that started in 1976 and now in the maturity of his work he wanted a place to showcase hit best work (the latest of course).

It’s been very difficult to reflect such long career in the site without being obvious. I just wanted to talk about the works and be true to them and at the same time let the user realize that the works he is seeing are just some among many. A timeline was the only solution but I didn’t want anyone to learn to navigate so I kept it super simple and let the works speak for themselves about their date, importance, title and place in Julian’s career.

I also did an experimental piece putting into images what it’s like to step in the shoes of a client and imagine what it the best solution would be like. It was very fun to shoot and I think it is fun to watch too.

Some 2005 illustrations

Grey — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 22:30:50 +0000

These are just old illustrations but I thought I should post them. They are aging well.

SuzieWong

Grey — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 21:58:25 +0000

I’ve just finished the SuzieWong website that I did for my friend David Diez. It’s a pretty small website completely centered on the collecion navigation which I am very proud of.

The graphic idea behind the site is using inverted colors as much as possible and make them look armonic. I created the background illustration pretty fast and it reminds me that good designs come after hours of thinking and minutes of actual work.

On the technical side, it loads all images in the background and it scales to fill the whole screen. I am still experimenting with layouts that are not dependant on size or proportions and I thinkg I am getting somewhere.

SrGordo

Grey — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 00:19:23 +0000

This is a logo I made the for a friend of mine. SrGordo (MrFat, it’s the best name ever!) is his nickname and also the name for his postproduction studio.

I just wanted everyone to have as much fun with the graphics as they already do with the name. I went back to a classic 50′s , surf, overdone style that, well, why not?

Junquera-Oval

Grey — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 23:54:30 +0000

We (Luis Urculo and I) did a couple of videos to present and explain two big urbanism projects Junquera-Oval did recently. They already had graphics and documents to explain the projects in detail and as we did before with other clients, we tried to explain the project in a more emotional and aesthetic way. I also did some graphics to serve as indicators in the panoramic shot.

Expo in gallery Knopp

Grey — Tue, 25 Dec 2007 19:26:29 +0000

Gallery Knopp (Stockholm) did an expo in 2004 with some of my works. However I no longer have these works online, they are too “electro”. I don’t know what got into us but we all were too much into that crap and now I can’t even look at that stuff without feeling embarrased. Though some people still like it, don’t know why.

Ramses

Grey — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 00:48:02 +0000

I designed the site for the Ramses restaurant. Phillip Starck did the interior design, Luis Urculo did the graphics and I designed and produced the website.

I did not focus my work on information but on inviting the potential customer to a magical experience. So that means, making the site truly special but smaller than it should be so everyone would be eager to see more. It is indeed a very small thing but I really like the site. The one thing I love most about design is making people feel things, specially when those things make a strong lasting impression.

Illustrations for PageOne

Grey — Sun, 28 Oct 2007 00:19:41 +0000

They asked for some illustrations to be included in a book about “digital illustrations”. I still don’t know what they meant with digital so I did my thing and they liked it, they asked for a couple more and here they are, “digital illustrations”. I’ll post pictures of the book as soon as I can get my hands on it.

Jacobo Garcia German

Grey — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 19:34:22 +0000

I redesign the brand, applications and website for Jacobo García Germán architecture studio.

Grey — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 11:23:51 +0000

Luis Urculo asked me for a graphic for the Kuwait expo proposal representing the gathering of sea, sky and desert.
