Living in a little student town such as Falmouth with one of the best art schools in the United Kingdom next door is one of the things that makes me feel really lucky.
I was asked by the twenty-four graduating students from the fine art department to build a website and a logo for their last year exhibition that is going to be held in London from the 3rd to the 5th of July.
As it was a no budget project with a quite tight deadline I had to come up quickly with strong ideas that would have been easy to realize and would fit well with such a variety of styles and personalities.

A few months ago, while browsing on del.icio.us I came across letters-numbers.com, a portfolio of works by Steve Rura coded by CJ Amodeo.
I was so impressed by the idea and the original coding achieved by these two designers that I decided to give a try and port this site in Flash as an exercise for my coding skills.

I was called by the nice people from Gendall to develop an application for British Telecom’s ‘Future World’ in Goonhilly, Cornwall.The brief was to create a drawing game that could allow the user to give a visual interpretation of his/her idea of the future.The installation was to be set in a room where each visitor of the museum could give feedback about future prediction using different media (record a video of him/herself in response to environmental topics, answer questions about climate change through an interactive questionnaire and so on).All the feedback retrieved in this room, including the drawings, is stored on a server and is made accessible to the visitors via web. keep on reading ‘Drawing game for future world @ Goonhilly’

Last saturday I developed an ActionScript 3 RSS reader for my WordPress blog feed. It reads the posts from my blog divide them into categories and then populate each category with the thumb of the posts.
It’s an handy tool as it gives a quick glimpse of what I’ve been doing lately and doesn’t make you browse the whole history of my blog just to see an experiment.

in Processing.
This morning I’ve been playing with two processing experiments I developed during the weekend.
The first one is a font “randomizer” based on the fontOutlineSystem library by Dave Billinger. I used this one for a poster of Fuzzylogic nights here in Falmouth. I’ll post some pictures when we’ll hung these around.
The second one is an example of Lorentz attractors in action.
The next step I’d like to take is to make each point of the font the start point for the attractors. Maybe inserting some variations in the trail. Let’s see how it goes this week.

in Typography.
In these hot summer days I had some fun making alphabets out of funny things. In my recently acquired ultra-recycling attitude (Cornwall is crazy about it) I was wondering around this filled-with-wonders student house to make something cool.
While going to the kitchen I found out that our forgotten project to make some hoummus that could beat the Tesco’s one turned into something beautiful. After making some tests, in the end I decided to make an alphabet.
So here‘s the result when peas gone bad meet a weird typo guy.
