Design is so simple, that's why it is so complicated. Paul Rand
Yesterday was the end of spring semester at FIDI, and my turn to assign grades
(my least favorite part of being a teacher) and say goodbye to my dear students,
who are going back to their homes across four continents and moving on
to new challenges and adventures. I know I am going to miss them, but on the bright side
I will finally have some time to work on my art and garden, update my website and
flickr and clear my backlog of emails... (btw, I am the one in the red raincoat)
Stafford Fabrics, 1942
Anton Maix Fabrics
I have come to really enjoy teaching, a work which among other wonderful things
has inspired me to study and love more deeply graphic design, a field I entered many
years ago mostly by accident. Doing research for the lectures also has the added bonus
of giving me an extra chance to stumble upon interesting designs featuring animals...

in his classic playful and modern style. Most of the pictures come from
in case you are not familiar with this great and highly influential designer.
