11 November 2008qubo
11 November 2008“qubo is architecture plus design, matter plus aesthetic, a combination that fascinates us, that stimulates us. We focus on each element because they complement one another, they get powered, we design the architecture and we build the graphic.”
Rarely can anyone see around Montevideo (Uruguay) a studio that can offer both architecture and design. Because of that and a simple but lovely website I proudly introduce qubo.

Book Roll Call
07 November 2008I love books. I can’t get enough of them. So here are some of my current favorites that I encourage you to pick up.
ECAL, a great book for students and educators of Graphic Design. The École Cantonale d’Art de Lausanne is a model for design pedagogy and academic research. The book kind of chronicles the work of the staff and students over the past years.
Anni & Josef Albers. Flipping through it just once convinced me that some of the most talented designers out there right now not only know this work but are employing the principles in their own work (from those crazy abstract color studies of Andy Gilmore to the line art of Geoff Mcfetridge).
Bauhaus, Modernism & the Illustrated Book. Architecture influencing book typography influencing architecture. This was an amazing time for graphic design and the work is relevant to anything posted on this blog.
AGI: Graphic Design Since 1950. The Alliance Graphique Internationale is like the high rollers club, the elite, the best of the best in graphic design. Founded in 1951, the organization has selected some 600 designers from more than thirty nations to join. This book is a summary of the accomplisments of its members (such as Saul Bass, Paul Rand, Ivan Chermayeff, Tom Geismar, Chwast,..and so on). I am not kidding when I say that every page is solid gold.
Kate Moross
07 November 2008Nice graphic style of Kate Moross.
EUROPE BY DESIGNERS
07 November 2008EUROPE BY DESIGNERS is an international artistic project whose aim is to unveil a multitude of images of Europe from the inside and from the outside. Design as the expression of a cultural vision, a political vision or a simple and unposed feeling… Design and its diversity as a new way to catch Europe.
