It’s been a while ago since I told you about 60 Unite for Children, a project by I told you about 60 Unite for Children, a project by UNICEF dwhere 60 designers and artists from around the world showcase graphics and thoughts related to children.

A kickass purchase. The 180 pages book contains a huge amount of top notch works plus some beautiful thoughts.

Procrastination



Procrastination is: Always displacing what you have to do with other “more-preferable” activites”.


And in this excelent video I took from Sindicato de la Imagen’s blog, procrastination is defined with superb visual pleasure.

Portfolio updated






I’ve just updated my portfolio with 6 new works among which I include a font that is free to download.


Halfway is a font I’ve developed from the idea of reducing characters while maintaining their meaning. It’s still a 1.0 version, so there may be some updates done to it in the future or I might release a rounded version I’m working on.


The font is still under an Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 Creative Commons license, so you can use it for personal projects while giving credit to its author, and for commercial projects you have to ask for my permission.


Within the zip file you’ll find all three weights (Normal, Bold and Black) in TrueType (TTF) and OpenType (OTF) versions to use in PC and Mac.


You can download it directly through here: Halfway; or from the portfolio.


Hope you like the update and any comments you may have please don’t hesitate to contact me or leave a comment.

KDU Interviews

Down at the Keystone Design Union headquarters everyone is always busy with the pile of work that keeps on coming in, however, good ol’ coleague David Harris (A.K.A. SON) has been taking the time to interview a few of our family’s featured members.

Pretty cool interviews to get to know and see what different members from around the globe are up to.


Stay sharp for interviews to come down at the KDU global news site.
