The Wolf Book, designed in 1990
____
In first grade, our teacher assigned us a project. Each student was assigned an animal, and our task was to research that animal. We compiled our research into a short, ten page book. The animal I chose was the Mongolian wild horse, and the experience was a blast. I absolutely loved the process of researching, drawing pictures and maps, and ending up with a designed object.
A few months later, during the summer of 1990, I decided to make another book about one of my favorite animals, the wolf. I spent several weeks photocopying pages from National Geographic World magazine, redrawing maps and diagrams, filling pages with some very bizarre editorial drawings, and typing paragraphs on an ancient word processor. The finished pages were then comb-bound at my father's office.
While designing my recent book, Forgetting Oildorado, I recalled the process of making The Wolf Book. I travelled to my parents house where the book resided, and flipped through it for the first time in well over a decade. It's fascinating to revisit something that was once so cherished, and to see the striking parallels between something that was designed at the age of 7 and the work that I'm currently producing.
When I made this book, I had no idea that I'd end up a graphic designer. But it seems that from a very early age, I was -- unknowingly -- well on my way.

*a comic strip consisting of several hundred illustrations conceived, designed and narrated by me.
p.s. the original splatter was in deep red but was substituted for blue as per suggestion of prospective publisher who felt that red was "overkill" LOL; in the end we could not see eye to eye and the project evaporated into thin air.

Everybody had to choose a counterculture and be guided by its (conscious or unconscious) visual identity. The subject of my book was dandyism. They cleared the road for other ambiguous groundbreakers like youth culture, art and the gay movement. As a matter of fact, dandyism is more than a clearly identifiable cultural and historical phenomenon and thus it was quite a challenge to explain its history in a somewhat chronological way, so there are no real chapters in the book. It’s been dividend into three main parts, where each one has its own graphic character expressed in a textual, material or visual way. In dandyism, certain historical figures like Brummell, Baudelaire, etc. served as a prototypical reference to the dandyism of their time.
Because of that, their bio's are like a foundation from which the book is constructed to offer a better insight to the reader. The literary character of the (historical) dandyism is clearly shown but you can see the emphasis shifting towards the end. In the 20th century, it became more of a popular-democratic element that was mainly expressed in images (fashion, photography, film). The centre consist colored pages in referral to the early fashion magazines -that real dandies read-, explaining mainly their clothing style throughout the different periods. By the confluence of form and content, the book has become a good and instructive overview on dandyism.

This is a book design and execution that I created for Susan Kozel's book Closer published by the MIT press.
It was an assignment in a UCLA Design | Media Arts Class. The front portion of the book is comprised of all the text and images, clearly setup into a four row system, which aligns to the four flipbooks at the very back of the book.

Lasata Garden was featured in the Phoenix Home and Garden Magazine and the Phoenix Home and Garden Grand Tour of Gardens. This book is a beautifully illustrated stroll through this colorful example of nirvana, and it is wonderfully narrated by Jane Lucien-Scholle. Jane, a transplant from her native England, has received many awards and recognition both here and in England for her gardens and landscaping.

Reurbanización del espacio público de San Clemente en Santiago de Compostela
abalo alonso arquitectos
Fotografías: Héctor Santos-Díez
Deseño e edición: desescribir
Compostela. 2012
145 páxinas. 150 x 225 cm
ISBN: 978–84–616–0323–7
En Maio do 2011 o estudio de arquitectura abalo e alonso encoméndanos o deseño dun libro que recolla a obra de reurbanización do espazo público de San Clemente en Compostela.
Despois de escoitar, por parte dos autores, a explicación do contexto do encargo e a evolución do proxecto xunto coas modificacións e adaptacións que foron xurdindo durante a obra, decidimos que o libro, máis que presentar a obra como un resultado final, debería mostrar a evolución do proxecto dende o encargo ata a súa construcción.
Vendo unha obra de arquitectura, aínda para un profesional é moi difícil saber que vontade hai detrás de cada decisión, que reflexión. Facer partícipe ao lector da evolución dun proxecto, da cantidade de decisións a tomar e dos imprevistos que xurden na obra, semellaba un contido máis interesante e formativo: descubrir que pensamento hai detrás dunhas formas determinadas, dun resultado. Estamos convencidos de que é necesario compartir e comunicar os procesos para poder valorar, ampliando a capacidade crítica por parte da sociedade, o traballo dos profesionais.
A partir desta idea abordamos, en conxunto con abalo e alonso arquitectos, o traballo de edición do libro, dividindo os bloques de contidos en contexto, evolución do proxecto, proxecto e obra.
A súa vez, os bloques de contidos, estrutúranse por capítulos guiados por dúas voces: unha principal que presenta o capítulo de forma xeral (coa tipografía en corpo 12,5 puntos), e unha segunda voz (coa tipografía a 8 puntos) que vai comentando o proceso apoiándose nos debuxos de traballo, planimetría, esquemas, fotografías, etc.
Xa que o libro propón unha narración dun proceso, decidimos que o formato tiña que ser cómodo para unha lectura prolongada, así mesmo as características do papel. A publicación ten un tamaño de 150 x 225 mm, manexable cunha soa man. Con respecto ao papel decidimos imprimir sobre un offset de baixa brancura (Munken Pure) para non cansar os ollos e facer máis doada a lectura. Un só prego, o que corresponde ao proxecto, está impreso nun papel diferente, un estucado mate. A razón deste cambio de papel e da súa dimensión horizontal máis curta, é poder voltar ao proxecto en calquera momento; poder, durante a lectura, ir e vir dunha parte específica ao todo. Nesta mesma lóxica, o libro ten xunto a paxinación un sistema de “navegación” que lle indica ao lector onde pode ampliar a información que está lendo nese momento noutro lugar da publicación, establecendo outra dimensión de lectura máis alá da liñal.
Abalo e alonso insistían, na exposición do proxecto, na idea do espacio público como continuidade; entendían a cidade vella de Compostela como unha secuencia de prazas, cambios de nivel, fontes... Quixemos comunicar esta idea nas cubertas do libro expandíndoas. Coa colaboración do autor das fotografías do libro, Héctor Santos-Díez, construímos un percorrido dende as antigas murallas da cidade ata San Clemente para introducir ao lector no libro, e dende a propia praza ata a Alameda para saír del, para marcharse.
Gustábanos a idea de levar ao lector da man nun paseo por Compostela.
