I GOT INSPIRED BY DAVID CARSON’S WORK AND CREATED THIS COLLAGE IMAGES.

ImageImageImage
Back in the day (1991), while I was studying graphic design at the university, I found the 6th issue of beach culture’s magazine. I got astonished by this completely new approach and usage of typography. All the black and white spaces, all the typos sliced, cuted and still building a visual story… A whole new visual proposal was in front of me. I have never seen something like that.

A few day later I had one of my first brochure design requests and yes I was really influenced by it, for sure. All kind of questions raised, how they came up to that idea?, how composition works on such a free style?, how i can find joy in such an irreverent space?. I just loved the feeling and my posture was, Even I love it, I will not copy it. I will find my own personal expression.

Time passed by, I did continue my design practice which I still manage to do so, and experience started to show me all those big names of all those great designers that I knew only by the work they have made, and David Carson was no exception.

A couple of days ago with no reason at all and while I was working, I just stop, my ADHD appeared, I stood up, look for my Beach Culture magazine copy, opened the issue and lived that emotion again. That thrilling emotion that innovation delivers.

What made me stop and look for it is still a mystery, one od those special moment that only attention deficit can deliver but instead of looking for an answer, I got my iPhone and capture the pages that I do remember shocked me, a day after I started a 3 piece collage composition inspired on those images. So here they are to be shared to all of you. A glimpse moment, an influential moment of one of the most important change players in contemporary design. My personal tribute to David Carson’s number 6 issue of beach culture magazine* that amazed me by the first time.
Yes, it has been more than 20 years since I started to design and I do love that special emotion of discovery, of known influence, and of course of unconditioned creation.

Long life to the free spirit that may raise in all of us ’cause of so many talented people. Thank you all!

The questions you ask yourself on a daily basis determine your focus, and your focus determines your results.

Here’s the thing.  The questions you ask yourself on a daily basis determine your focus, and your focus determines your results.

Real success comes from the quality of your relationships and the emotions that you experience each day. That’s where these 10 questions come in.

Ask them at the end of each day and I absolutely guarantee that you’ll become more successful. Here they are:

1. Have I made certain that those I love feel loved?

2. Have I done something today that improved the world?

3. Have I conditioned my body to be more strong flexible and resilient?

4. Have I reviewed and honed my plans for the future?

5. Have I acted in private with the same integrity I exhibit in public?

6. Have I avoided unkind words and deeds?

7. Have I accomplished something worthwhile?

8. Have I helped someone less fortunate?

9. Have I collected some wonderful memories?

10. Have I felt grateful for the incredible gift of being alive?

These questions force you to focus on what’s really important. Take heed of them and rest of your life—especially your work—will quickly fall into place.

Saludos / Best Regards

seis claves para usar las siglas y las abreviaturas – Recomendaciones – Fundéu BBVA – Fundación Español Urgente

seis claves para usar las siglas y las abreviaturas

24/01/2012

Las siglas y las abreviaturas tienen características distintas; conocerlas permite escribirlas apropiadamente.

Siglas

  1. Se forman por lo general con las iniciales de la expresión que abrevian, normalmente las iniciales de los sustantivos y los adjetivos (Organización de las Naciones Unidas: ONU), pero a veces también las de otras palabras (organización no gubernamental: ONG).
  2. No llevan punto abreviativo: ONU, no O. N. U.
  3. Las Academias de la Lengua desaconsejan el uso de una ese minúscula para formar el plural en la forma escrita (las ONG mejor que las ONGs), aunque en la lengua oral es normal y correcto que se pronuncie la ese («oenegés»).

Abreviaturas

  1. Se forman con parte de la palabra o las expresiones que abrevian; una palabra puede tener más de una abreviatura: para página, por ejemplo, se usan p. y pág.
  2. Llevan punto abreviativo (a. C.; pl., admón.) o, más raramente, barra (c/ Bailén); en las abreviaturas con más de un elemento, tras el punto abreviativo se deja un espacio (se escribe EE. UU. y no EE.UU.); si la abreviatura lleva una parte volada, el punto se coloca antes de esta (n.º, no nº. ni nº).
  3. Cuando tienen más de una letra, generalmente se pluralizan añadiendo una ese (pág. – págs.); si constan de una sola letra, esta se suele duplicar (p. – pp.)
