Writing about this is difficult; I can’t pretend it isn’t.
Writing about this is difficult; I can’t pretend it isn’t. Studying Csíkszentmihályi’s book “Creativity” alongside Newport’s “Deep Work” has sort of answered a question I’ve had since at least 2019: Why aren’t there more graphic design students on Tumblr? And now I realize that this question is just a version of the more obvious question:…

This isn’t a first.
This isn’t a first. This is not even one of the firsts. But I hope that it is the first next. Hello, my name is Mario and I want to communicate better than I did before. So now I want to put myself right. I want to know what I’m saying, so that you know…

Here we go: I defended my thesis in March, and I just have had my first nightmare about being part of a presentation assignment where one of the jury members asked me to produce a specific file from my final presentation.

Have you noticed?
Have you noticed? People have turned themselves into billboards for ads, canvases for somebody else’s benefit?

“If writing is a medium of thought, then software is yet additionally an agent of will. When it executes my will, my software and I form a single, coextensive unit of both thought and purpose. The computer, accordingly, is merely the software’s mortal coil.” An essay by Golan Levin, quoted in Maeda’s Creative Code. Read…
