Integrated design for my dissertation

My dissertation is on the subject of crowd sourced visual art. I have made the choice to produce a printed and bound version of it where each page is designed by a different individual.

Here are some process photos:

New template for the dissertation

Im working on another Photoshop template for theose who will help me design my dissertation

I am inviting the crowd to design my dissertation (it's about artists and designers who let the crowd generate content for them)

Today was the first time I let a group take part in the design of my work. The idea behind it is that in order to justify having others generate content for me I have to share the results back with them, give them credit and it seems also do a hell of lot of work!

Work with 8DIX

I have been working for months with Luca Marchetto, a fashion designer, as he created a new clothing brand by the name of 8DIX (pronounced ottodix). The Brand's website is finally online and the first collection 'SYCOPHANT' is featured there.

Everything form the patterns to the red buttons on the trousers is considered and intentional.

Conceptually the collection is completely Marchetto's brain child. It is an amazing experience to work with him and adhere to a visual style so other than my own. Using Luca's sketches, together we acquired, manipulated and produced high resolution, 'cheap' seeming but incredibly considered visuals.

My own moment of pride - that's my hand holding the toilet brush.
