This post is about a Chilean Design Students oriented website I’m working on, so its content is rather irrelevant in english. If you’d like to view it in spanish, just click on the flag to your right.
Thanks!

As a part of a College final exam I had to make a typeface which I ended up naming Hetilica.
Based on information signs of alcohol licenses among several beverage expendiums in the area of Cartagena, Chile; Hetilica is composed of wide strokes and the brush’s interaction with the medium.
You can download it 100% free by clicking here.
Please feel free to use and spread as you please. Just let me know when you do so I can see it in action.
Cheers and thanks.

This font I just finished is based on the local alcohol stores around the beach in the city of Cartagena over here in Chile. It was a project for our school workshop class and I’ll be giving it out for free in the upcoming days, just gotta adjust some minor tweaks, add a few more characters and maybe, just maybe release it in a couple more weights.
Anyways stay sharp for the release of this and a couple more fonts of mine.
Thanks for dropping by.

After a whole lot of geeky-skill-needing issues, I’ve finally re-launched my official personal portfolio with a lot of new works, some drafts and some quality pics of printed works.
Also, I decided to step it up a notch and give the über-awesome Cargo CMS a go. So far it’s been amazing. Loving it from top to bottom, so if you get a chance, be sure to apply for an account.
So, feel free to drop by the all new DiegoQuintana.com and check it out. Plus, I’d be deeply grateful if you let me know your thoughts on the site, the work, the blog or anything you feel like talking about with me at hello@diegoquintana.com
Thanks!

Quite a while ago the good people at UPrinting.com came to me offering to make a joint giveaway of 1000 business cards and 1 18″x24″ poster on my website.
I decided to post the giveaway today ’cause we’re already at the 395 posts count. Nearly 400. So I think now’s a good time to go through with this.
That’s why we’ll keep it simple. All you need to do is leave a comment on this post about my website, my blog, life, the cards, the poster, whatever you like.
Out of those comments, we’ll pull 2 winners. The order in which they’re pulled will determine the prize. First one takes the 1000 cards, and second one the 18″x24″ poster. Simple.
Just to clear it up. Prizes are with your designs. NOT MINE. The idea is that you have business cards of your own to show off and promote yourself.
Winners will have to pay for the shipping fee from the US to their location. If you are in the US or Canada, shipping is free.
Big thanks of course to UPrinting and you for participating.
Comment away!.

Today, after a couple months of organizing, programming and designing, a brand new project of mine sees the light of day: LaMalla.cl
LaMalla (or TheGrid) is born as a simple blog between friends, a bit of a programming experiment, a place for us to showcase those who inspire us and should continue to inspire even more people.
The idea is fairly simple, a dynamic grid with customizable contents that fit your browser for best viewing of the content.
We’re of course a spanish-speaking website. But if you’d like to contribute to our project and think language should be no barrier, then hit us up at hello@lamalla.cl and we’ll see what we can do so you too can be part of the family.
Of course we’ve been running several tests these last few days, but there’s always a few loose ends. So if you happen to come across some dead end, please don’t hesitate to let us know at feedback@lamalla.cl.
Of course any comments, opinions, critics, etc, are always welcome.
Cheers!.
