Rue Magazine

Open publication - Free publishing - More fashion

Found out about this gorgeous magazine through an interview to Megan Knight Gonzalez. I loved her studio and made a post about it. This magazine has become in one of my must reads, and it introduced me to the wonderful Bri Emery, which I think, emanates a very positive attitude about design and style, work and the challenges of life. Love to read her Design Love Fest. Love, what a wonderful philosophy of work, life.

For print

I found this site and I think it's very useful, sometimes I keep using the same things when I print, because of the budget. FPO (For Print Only) shows us projects and its costs, materials and finishes, looking into them I get a much wider view.

Above, There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly Book
for Chronicle Books.

I'm an admirer of all the Under Consideration projects, soon I hope to get one of their books.

Salt & Pepper

I'm back! Spent some time at my beloved México with family and friends. I had so much fun!. Sun, delicious food and my sweet boy playing with his cousins. So, after collecting a new set of smells, colors, and memories into my personal box of strength, that keeps me going here in Spain, I was ready to move on.
The perfect way to start: The wedding of a dear friend.
My dear friend Ainara got married yesterday, and you know how I love to prepare gifts, as a "tradition" here, guests give money as a gift.
Usually they use little envelopes, but Marie and I wanted something different to wrap those euro bills (we were both invited). So I thought about the importance of couples, we were two of her friends, making something for two.
Two... like salt and pepper, there's a couple! They're always accompanying us in our breakfast, supper or romantic dinners. I thought about giving her beautiful shakers for salt and pepper, and make a little story for them. She loved it, and we earned a huge and loving hug. Congrats Ainara & Iñigo! we love you!.

Estoy de vuelta!, he pasado unas maravillosas vacaciones en mi México querido. Acompañada de familia y amigos lo pasé fenomenal!. Sol, comida deliciosa y mi niño jugando con sus primos. En fin, después de recolectar nuevos aromas, colores y recuerdos para mi caja personal de motivación, la cual me permite salir adelante en España estaba lista para seguir.
La mejor manera de empezar: La boda de una amiga. Mi querida Ainara se casó ayer, como todos saben, me encanta preparar regalos. Tradicionalmente aquí se da dinero como regalo de bodas, generalmente en sobres. Pero Marie y yo quisimos hacer algo diferente para envolver esos billetes. Así que pensé en la importancia de las parejas, éramos dos de sus amigas, preparando algo especial para dos.
Dos... cual sal y pimienta, esa sí que es una pareja! . Inseparables, nos acompañan en el desayuno, la comida y en cenas románticas. Pensé en regalarles salero y pimentero y hacer una historia que les involucrara a ellos. Le encantó! y fuimos recompensadas con un enorme y cariñoso abrazo. Felicidades Ainara e Iñigo! Los queremos!.

Baobab Decó

It was Sunday and I had already finished my Mom-Wife tasks, so I took some pictures to update my portfolio, this happened about a month ago. I did this identity for an interior & decoration shop in Berango. My client loved the baobab tree, so she wanted one for her logo.

Era domingo por la tarde, había terminado las labores madre-esposa, así que hice unas fotos para actualizar mi portafolio, de esto ya hace casi un mes. Hice esta identidad para un sitio de decoración e interiorismo en Berango. A mi cliente le encantan los árboles baobab, y quería uno para su logo.

Doors for stories

I think that a good introduction to a story made for cinema comes with its poster. I guess it could represent a glimpse of it. That's a task, to represent a whole story in a static image. Illustration, photography, typography, what a delight!. This are to of my favorite posters. The first one from  Hard Candy won an award for best movie poster of that year, I saw the movie and really thought it was a very clever image, to dress her with a red hood, the art. I really liked it.
The  Margot at the Wedding poster has all the elements I love to use: White clean space, helvetica light and a pink hat!.

Una buena introducción a una historia hecha para el cine se da con su cartel. Yo creo que puede llegar a ser una mirada rápida. Eso sí que es un reto, representar toda una historia en una imagen estática. Ilustración, fotografía, tipografía, que delicia!. Estos son dos de mis favoritos, ambos sirvieron como la puerta a esa primera mirada, y ambos lograron que me sintiera atraida a la historia. El primero es de  Hard Candy ganó el premio al mejor cartel para peliculas de ese año.
El de  Margot at the Wedding tiene todos los elementos que me encanta usar en mis diseños: Espacio limpio y ordenado, helvetica light y un sombrero rosa!.
