El Abrigo de Proust.
Diseño de cubierta.


En va treure un abric, d’una llana gairebé negra, de color gris fosc, folrat de llúdriga. 

Piero Tosi.

Esta historia comienza gracias a que se cruzan los caminos de un señor desconocido -llamado Jacques Guérin- y de Piero Tosi -el famoso diseñador de vestuario de Visconti. Bueno, en realidad empieza mucho antes. Y es gracias a Lorenza Foschini que no se quedó en eso, en un anecdótico cruce de caminos.

L’abric de Proust es un libro raro. Raro bien. Una historia propia de un archivero narrada como una novela negra. ¿Hay crimen? Para saberlo... hay que leerlo.  
Designer. Focus on product, UX & UI.  Background in Art Direction and Motion Graphics. Sometimes I make books.

I was born in
Kansas City
on a 4th of July and some consequences had to remain, of course. In winter I like to use the
"mesa camilla"
. It is ugly. Indeed. But I can reach the 39 Celsius degrees that welcomed me into this world. And what a world.

J'haybers,
orange Sancheski,
Monkey Island,
Sanyo with megabass
(I said Sanyo, is not a typo). Mortadella sandwiches with lemon Kas.
NASA
with Mario Bros
(I said NASA, is not another typo). And screens with the same resolution. ALL. OF. THEM.

I especially like typeface, grids and things in movement. Some time ago I used to work on advertising.
It’s worse to beg.


Someone who read this could think that Helvetica is such a boring choice for a typeface lover. And this person could be completely right on this point.

But this is not Helvetica :)

No, no. It is
Christian Schwartz's
Neue Haas Grotesk I like it <3 Easy.
Speaking of something else, I like software. This can be weird, but is not false. I was from Figma when Adobe had not even heard of it and most of us were still using Sketch. I love Blender. Terrific piece of software and terrific project. I switched from Notion to Anytype. In Windows I use a very ugly font manager that I cannot recommend enough, despite its awful client service Maintype︎︎︎. In Mac I use RightFont. And of course, I took distance with Adobe and started using Affinity Serif. That being said, eternal respect for InDesign and its incredible baseline grid ❤️. And hate-love for AE.

In my spare time I do things like this︎︎︎ or this︎︎︎. Although I would like to do things like this︎︎︎, this︎︎︎ or this︎︎︎.

And that's all.

By now.
