This is what happens when you have bored employees who are willing to humiliate themselves, and some time to spare with the high-definition camera you just rented for a shoot.

Via Design Float I found out that the always interesting Noupe recently made a list of 25 interviews with graphic designers from around the world.
Among the interviewed are big names Chuck Anderson, Cristiano Siqueira, Maciej Hajnrich and Matt W. Moore.
A very good and well rounded list that lets you understand a bit better how these image-making gurus think.

The almighty Favourite Website Awards just couldn’t get enough showcasing the best websites in the world. Now they had to show the greatest videos, reels, VFX and trailers out there.
All hail the FWA Theater.

I know I said I’d stop posting stuff that was popping up all over the web. But this one is just a must see.
Blu has always been a genius. But this one really sets the bar even higher.

First off I’d like to apologize for the size of the image, but I think in this case it’s worth it.
A little over two years ago, a small group of chilean design students decided to generate an online space that allowed design students from all its branches and schools to share their projects and create contact and collaboration networks that led to improve and enhance the national design scene. That website was Diseño Emergente (Emerging Design).
Now, with an insanely powerful base of monthly visitors and projects, Diseño Emergente is, without a doubt, the space where chilean (and slowly more latinamerican) design students converge and share, debate and display their ideas.
By chance of life, I had the pleasure of being one of the first few members of this community and for a while I was part of their staff, with whom to this day I keep a very close relationship.
This is why seeing progress like the one I’ll refer to is trully a reason for pride and satisfaction, knowing that in Chile there are people who dare to take the plunge, to go against the odds, and do it right, with love for what they do and the seriousness and responsability it deserves.
The reason for this slightly long post is to tell you about the release of Diseño Emergente 2.0,. A total review of the website’s interface and functions was made directly from the input of its own users and not just what the staff thought was right.
Even if you’re not a spanish-speaking person, I encourgae you to take a look at the portfolios section, I’m sure you’ll find a few things that’ll blow your mind.
For someone like me, who’s passionate about design, programming and interaction, this website really is a luxury. A whole bunch of new features that speed up your reading time, enhance relationships between users and also enhance the participation of 3rd party users from chilean student design.
So I’m just leaving the invitation open for you to check out the all new Diseño Emergente, ’cause even with its many haters, it’s impossible to deny its real cultural and design weight in chilean society.
My biggest congratulations, and deepest respect to the staff that daily tries to take chilean design to the next level. People like these are the ones that count.

The Pint Series is a project created by Matthew Barton, consisting of different series of printed postcards made by designers from all over the world.
These series go from 3 to 5 images each, they’re 6″x4″, and the price is US$20 plus shipping.
The nice part about this is that you can send your own series, anf it gets chosen, they send you a printed copy for free, and a set of 100 limited editions get put up for sale. Also you get US$500 plus a donation made on your behalf for US$250 to the As Green As It Gets foundation.
I already sent in my “Sensuality Series”, so if you want to purchase it, just click here.
Plus, I was interviewed by them. You can read the interview here or after the break.

Today, with great surprise, I found out I just appeared on issue 21 of the great website YayMonday.
The thing about this site is that each monday, 9 new creatives from around the world are displayed.
Quite an honor to be there, plus, they also featured my man Veggie, so it’s a double-pointer for the chilean folks.
Also, big up to Ricardo Villavicencio who was featured on issue 19.

The good folks at Evasèe are always up to date dropping the new hot stuff on design, art and general trends; but this one is for sure one for the books: Cyberoptix.
Created by Bethany Shorb, this enterprise is dedicated to the always curious, atractive, yet unexplored market of ties, and it does it in a masterful way.
Make in fine silk with hand-made sikscreening processes, each one of these ties is an absolute statement of elegance, vanguard and style.
By far an attractive gift that out does and differs from the traditional market offer.
Get your own for around US$35 – US$40.
