Comunicación visual: the best Latin designers from yesterday and today
Comprised of 20 countries located in North, South, and Central America as well as the Caribbean Islands, Latin America is populated by over 500 million people. From Argentina to Mexico, all Latin American countries are Spanish-speaking with the exception of Portuguese-speaking Brazil. Latin America has been producing a very unique form of graphic expression for decades and this historical publication brings together the best examples from the 20th century as well as today. This volume begins with an extensive historical essay about the region's contribution to design and achievements as well as a timeline featuring the development of graphic design in the region from 1900 to the current day, indicating parallels to the most important world events—design or otherwise. The main body of the book features A to Z entries of more than 200 designers and design offices that have built up and continue to champion the Latin design identity. Finally, a handy index facilitates access to key information in the book, such as designers' names, countries, publications, educational institutions, and most famous events.

This is fan made music video I have been working on for quite some time on and off due to school. I wanted to know what my graphic design peeps thought about this, so I decided to upload a preview of it. The storyline behind the video is showing relationships fall in their own special ways. "Bleed Out", a song by Jason Derulo off of his amazing album Future History, is such an emotional song IMO, and I really wanted to capture the song in video. In this preview, you will see just small snippets of what the full video will be. I hope you like it and please give me any critiques you may have or just tell me what you think about it. This is just uploaded to my Flickr only, as I want to keep the happenings of this video away from YouTube at the moment. :P Plus I want to show my graphic design community another passion of mine, which is video editing! :D I really can't wait to hear what you all think of it!
Humans pride themselves on their creations and graphic designs. However, Nature abounds with natural creations and graphic designs all around us. We just have to stop, look and enjoy to see such wonderful creations. These leaves are endered in black and white with two layers of detailed leaves in Hawaii.
This prospectus cover, designed by Peter Megert of Ohio State University before 1972, runs cold chills up my spine every time I look at it, a very effective graphic use of letterform.
I developed a work-study program (called cooperative education) with the nuclear plant WPPSS on the Hanford reservation in eastern Washington state and I saw things, and my students were involved in things that were almost beyond my comprehension.
After WPPSS collapsed, my program was transferred to Westinghouse. When Westinghouse lost the contract, Boeing took over and my program went with it. Just before I retired I was there on site in the design and photography office when the photographers came in after verifying leaks in the huge nuclear waste holding tanks. The whole operation was closed down after that. Don't plan on going up there to see for yourself. A S.W.A.T. team will meet you before you get to the site.

I let this one get out of sequence.
Cover design for zijeme by Ladislav Sutnar 1931, one of the great graphic design pioneers of the twentieth century. All contemporary designers should be familiar with his work.
More of the photomonage in graphic design.
Alvin Lustig believed that graphic designers should exhibit their work in the same manner as the fine arts. He saw little distinction between the applied arts and fine arts 1949.
One of my fave photo shoots from last year reworked. Home made mask, charity shop clobber, used as a CD EP cover for Scottish band AT THEIR MERCY. Dark nihilistic ecology, mother earth looking back at herself as a decrepit old hag.

Switzerland had survived WWII as a neutral country (along with Sweden) and a group of Swiss designers, who had been developing fresh, new, concepts of design from the 1930's on, now came onto the center stage of International graphic design.
After the war, the Swiss Haas type foundry commisioned Max Miedinger to refine and upgraph their older Akzidenz Grotesk fonts and they marketed the revision as Neue Haas Grotesk ( San-serif type faces go by the name Grotesk in Europe). Around 1958 the German D. Stempel AG typefoundry bought it up and introduced it as Helvetica and the rest is history. I have read that Miedinger died a bitter man as he only received a flat fee for the original redesign.
Cover Haas'che Schriftgiessersi AG typeface pattern book designed by Müller-Brockmann 1962.
Joseph Müller Brockman 1955 design in the series for concert posters for the Tonhalle Gesellschaft Zürich. This is one of the first posters in a series that he designed for the Tonhalle Gesellschaft Zürich that truly exemplified the New Graphic Design approach. It was like a design tsunami sweeping over the international graphic design community.
Prospectus for an influenza cure designed by René Martinelli Zurich 1957. Starting around 1958 this was the type of work that influenced me more than anything else in my own graphic design assignments. Another old, out-of-focus slide.
Packaging advertisement by Joseph Müller-Brockman. A New Graphic Design principle stated that drawing for advertising has the purpose of being objective to best serve the reader.
I was always as interested in the whole typographic internal layout as doing a smart cover design. Its not really graphic design until you can control the design of the whole publication.
Designed to fit alongside existing modular buildings, this particular design is based on Victorian London townhouses and has been converted into modern offices for a graphic design company. The building Includes a reception, mail room, design office and kitchen area.
My graphic design in 1969. An independent study bulletin for the University of Iowa.
I followed the rural mailman in my volkswagen beetle taking photographs of him delivering mail. He finally stopped and asked what I was doing and I explained that I was taking pictures to use at the university. That cleared things up as Iowans have a deep respect for their universities.
At least I didn't have to develop and print my shots as the university handled that through their photo lab and it was just as well. I had very little spare time because my youngest daughter played in the Iowa City high school marching band. If you've ever lived in the mid-west you would understand. I knew every high school football field from Keokuk to What Cheer. And I never realized how many kids and musical instruments could fit into a volkswagen!

Two versions of an album art that I created, ten years apart.
What is this about?
This was a graphic design project I did back in 2012 (left side) and recently in 2022 (right side).
In 2012, the project was to create an album art, print it, cut it out, and fit it in a blank CD jewel case. The purpose of this was to take it with me when attending an interview, for example a job interview, and showcase my skills and experience. It goes with my portfolio displaying examples of my graphic design works.
When my teenager kids were attending secondary school, I did manage to apply for an adult course in graphic design at a college, in the hope of refreshing my skills, and getting better qualifications to replace my outdated ones. When attending an interview, I showed this CD album art to the interviewer, whom was impressed.
The woman seen in the album art is not a model, she is a very close personal long-time friend of mine, herself a single mother, and she posed for me as a favour.
The train, seen in the background, was an old steam train at one of those heritage railway stations in the United Kingdom. The photographs of my friend posing at the railway station was taken with a Nikon D200 around February 2012.
About the artist and album title.
Lisa Jones is the name of a fictional character. When doing graphic design projects, like designing a CD album case cover, music video cover, tour poster, t-shirt, or magazine article layout, of a solo female artist, I use this fictional character in my designs.
The fictional Lisa Jones could be described as singer-songwriter, guitar player, her genres are rock, alternative rock, and that she could be kind of similar to Sharleen Spiteri or Sheryl Crow.
The album title The Mystery Lady At The Station, is a made up title. As I mentioned above, the woman in the photo is a close friend whom did a favour for me, not a booked model. She doesn’t mind if I created a graphic design work using the photo of her, as long as she is not clearly seen. So when I thought to do a cropped version, I realised the image makes her look like a mystery woman, and decided to give it a title based on this.
The track titles are actually sort of like a diary or journal, done in a bullet point style, and serves as reminder for me, to remember events I did in my life.
The top row shows the front page of the inlay card, which is the main album art cover for the front of the jewel case. The bottom row shows the back of the jewel cases.
On the left side.
This was done in 2012 using CorelDRAW 10 on my older computer running on Windows 98.
During 1987 to 89, I attended a college course, studying traditional graphic design, which means using pencils, pens, paints, craft knife and masking tapes, because at that time, the college did not have enough computers for all students.
Years later, in 1995, I got myself a Windows 3.1 computer, mainly for using word processor, but realised that at that time, more and more companies are switching from old fashion traditional graphic design to digital way done on computers. I figured it would make sense if I buy myself a graphic design software and install it on my computer, then self-teach myself in digital art.
So, I bought CorelDRAW 3, few years later I upgraded my computer to a new model with Windows 98. After that, I upgraded from Version 3 to 4, and then to 10.
Here is how I did it: I imported two photographs of my friend into Corel Photo-Paint, and used its range of filters to try to turn the photos into some kind of art-like images, like a watercolour painting or similar, then saved them as JPEG format images.
After that, I imported the JPEG images into CorelDRAW’s vector software, and created the inlay card and back cover. The tickets on the front cover, and the fictional company logo on the back cover, were modified from pre-prepared Clipart images that came on the CD-ROM.
Then simply print them out, cut them out, and install them into a jewel case.
On the right side.
This was done in 2022, this time using Adobe Creative Cloud software, on my current computer running on Windows 7 Professional Edition.
In the summer of 2015, I custom built my new computer with Windows 7 Professional Edition, in 64-bit mode. Sadly that mean some of the older software including CorelDRAW could not be installed on my new machine, as they were programmed for 32-bit and were incomparable.
So I switched to Adobe software. I’m aware that many photographers use Adobe Lightroom only, while many prefer Adobe Photoshop only, and some prefer both of them. However as I not only just do photography, but also do graphic design, I opt for the “All Apps” package, which includes InDesign and Illustrator, as well as Lightroom and Photoshop.
Because I was unable to install my old CorelDRAW 10 software on my Windows 7 machine, I hoped to open the original .CDR format files in Illustrator, and try to convert into .AI format file. Unfortunately there were some problems with the designs, like missing fonts, photos showing outside the lines, stuff like that. It would request some major changes to make them workable.
So I decided to start afresh.
Here’s how I did it: First, I imported the photos into Photoshop, and saved them as .PSD format files, instead of exporting them as .JPEG files. I used Photoshop’s filters to change the looks, and saved them.
For the inlay card to be installed in the front cover of the jewel case, I used Adobe InDesign. Because the inlay card is often created as a booklet, InDesign is better suited for this. I imported the .PSD file into InDesign, and if it does not look right, I would make changes to the .PSD file in Photoshop then save them. The InDesign file can be automatically updated with the changes.
For the back cover, I used Adobe Illustrator instead, and like as above, I imported the .PSD file into Illustrator, then create the rest of the details such as track titles, copyright notices, fictional company logo, etc. As with InDesign, if the .PSD image does not look right, I can make changes in Photoshop, save it, and Illustrator will automatically update with the new look.
Conclusion.
So that is why I have two versions of same album art. One was created in 2012 using CorelDRAW on older 32-bit operating system, and the other was redone in 2022 with Adobe software, on 64-bit Windows.

Poster by Joseph Müller-Brockman 1959. If you have ever worked and lived around dairy herds or cattle you come to understand what work really is, and dairy products advertising illustrations that create dancing cows in daisy hats look ridiculous. I prefer this approach.
Americans seem to respond more to eclectic visuals and Europeans seem to respond more to objective visuals. It's a cultural difference.
This is a cover for a virtual book on Wattpad. Obviously I spliced in a classic Japanese woodblock print of The Wave. The photo was in my studio last year to help my wife Deirdre Hiam who makes jewelry, but this profile of a helpful Amherst College student was kind of cool on its own too and I thought it looked like the Watcher from my story.

De voetgangerstunnel onder het NS station van Breda. Wordt 's avonds laat door hekken afgesloten want men ervaart deze tunnel als heel onveilig. Het ontwerp van de tegeltjes is van de hand van Peter Struycken en is aangebracht tijdens de verbouwing in 1975.
Deze foto is in large - on black - veel mooier en hij wordt zelfs magisch als je hem bekijkt als het buiten helemaal donker is.

Thank you for looking.
Looking at expanding the 919th.
Threw together these three concepts with combat rigged clones.
Left: Lego SWTOR Jace Malcolm Rig on SW Clone Torso.
Centre: Lego Jurassic Worlds ACU Guard Rig on SW Clone Torso.
Right: Lego Winter Soldiers Rig on SW Clone Torso.
Comments, Criticism or even other rigged torso's I could combine with Clone Troopers would be much appreciated.
To all the customisers out there, I'm more than willing to share the designs. I can remove the colours or even change the colours if you would like. Designs would be in PDF format and correct size for printing.
