Ohhh…I feel much better now

My poster against Domestic violence and social blindness actually reminded me of the book from the Portuguese writer Jose Saramago, called ‘Blindness’. The book was recently made into film, I don’t know if you guys watched it, but if not I REALLY recommend that you do.

I know there were some bad comments about it going around, but in my opinion that is because people didn’t really understand the concepts and philosophies behind the story. The movie is centered around a simple idea: what if everyone suddenly went blind? what would be the socio-economical effects of that? Would the world simply collapse? How much do we depend on our senses and what goes beyond that? All this sure gives you a LOT to think about.

Saramago actually wrote a series of books with questions of that kind, such as ‘what if everyone stopped voting’ and ‘what if no one died anymore?’ The latter is called Death with Interruptions, I’m probably going to buy it today!

You might not want to see the movie and read the books like me, but I hope that at least reading this post inspires you to THINK more and QUESTION more simple things that can deep down mean a lot to everyone.

We were asked to design an illustrator poster using text and vector images, in order to raise awareness about a certain cause.

I chose to work with domestic violence and how people can get so caught up in their daily social activities, status, jobs, etc. that they don’t see something bad that’s happening right in front of them.

I based the poster on those visual acuity tests, which acted as a metaphor for this ’social blindness’.

Hello guys, 

I just wanted to share with you a picture I took for my assignment about journalistic style photography… had to take pictures of friends (and strangers :S) hugging each other…i got good feedback for this one, so here it goes

I’ve been looking for new books to read…anyone has any suggestions on great fiction books?

Also, if you’re looking for suggestions as well, here are some that I recently read and loved!!!

1) The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho; (a refreshing discussion about finding your path in life and never giving up on your dreams)

2)Shell Seekers, by Rosamunde Pilcher; (you’ll fall in love with the characters and feel like you’re really intimate with them…amazing)

3)The Book Thief, by Marcus Zusak; (how cool is it to ready a story narrated by death? This book makes you feel a huge range of emotions and made me aware of the beauty of simple, everyday things)

Ok, I’m sorry…this is going to be super random…

but when i saw it thought it was hilarious and had to post it here hahaha….

Good reading week, everyone!!!

So here are some images I made for our fake/reality photoshop project. We had to merge different pictures together to create new ones.

I love the shapes of women’s bodies, the curves, the smoothness…and I love landscapes…that’s why I combined these two themes to create my series.

I will leave it up to you to explore and figure out which parts of the body the elements of the landscapes were generated from…

Sooo…everybody knows I’m the biggest fan of candy ever…

Anyone wants to build one of these for me please? hahahaha…

Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It’s the wrong kind of place
To be thinking of you
It’s the wrong time
For somebody new
It’s a small crime
And I’ve got no excuse

Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it’s loaded
Is that alright?
If u don’t shoot it how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it’s loaded
Is that alright
With you?

Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It’s the wrong kind of place
To be cheating on you
It’s the wrong time
She’s pulling me through
It’s a small crime
And I’ve got no excuse

Is that alright?
I give my gun away when it’s loaded
Is that alright?
If you dont shoot it, how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright?
I give my gun away when it’s loaded
Is that alright
Is that alright with you?

No…
