Milieu
Here’s a magazine I made for Publications and Editorial Design this quarter. This class was absolutely bananas, but I feel like I learned a ton. Probably the best class I’ve had in school so far.
The magazine is about every day people. It would run stories about real folks around the globe and their struggles, in hopes that the reader would identify similarities and get a sense of unity and equality.
The well story in this first issue is personal. It deals with my growing up in Guatemala, and watching Mazinger-Z and criminal executions on television.
Here’s two covers for the first issue:

Iranian Graphic Design
The other day in class we had the opportunity to interview Steven Heller. I asked him about global communication and design in other cultures, and he briefly mentioned Iranian design. My god man… this stuff is amazing. Very inspiring.
Most of the stuff I’ve come across has some really great typography, which makes me think: am I able to appreciate it better because I have no clue what it says and I don’t get lost in the message? I know, I know… The message is king. But maybe I can appreciate the craft and aesthetic more because I don’t get caught up in words. I could be wrong (and I probably am), but I think the text is in Farsi. The letter forms are beautiful.
Here’s a couple of posters:

If you are as intriguied as I am, visit the Iranian Graphic Society (IGS) for more info.

SXSW T-Shirt
The kind folks at South by Southwest thought my mess was worthy of being sported on a shirt, and decided to let me make one with their name on it.
Click on the image if you’d like to purchase one. They’re real nice.

Dawn of the Dead
Here’s a poster for the 1978 movie Dawn of the Dead. The bottom of the poster is perforated so you can detach it and take the rest to the gun range and practice for the inevitable zombie uprising.
