The rush for increased productivity

Personal Productivity

In all likelyhood, unless you work as a freelance1, you will spend most of your professional career worrying about a variety of issues, most of which are not strictly related to your core expertise. Dreaming of your career as a super-duper manager, I bet you can figure on all sorts of cool things happening to [...]

The Greatest Show of All

ITS#EIGHT Setup

What crazy times these are. We all envisage a situation of economic crisis, so severe that a cut in general demand prevent a multitude of companies from continuing to service their investments. However, crazy times call for crazy organizations, the ones that really understand the fallacy and insanity inherent the Steady Growth Model; the ones [...]

Once you’re lucky…

Once you're lucky... Twice you're good!

It’s definetly a good idea to check your mailbox frequently these days —before and after school, during lunch, and at other times during the day if possible. If you ever see a package with your name on it, coming from EVE headquarters in Italy… well, chances are you’ve been selected to be one of ITS#EIGHT [...]

Smells like almonds

Working on ITS#EIGHT Catalogue

With ITS#EIGHT just around the corner, the air I breathe in is getting hotter and hotter here at work. During the last few weeks the door belled more or less everyday, leading the whole staff to desperation! Express couriers deliver tens of portfolios each day, coming from international designers all around the world, willing to [...]

ITS on Diesel Cult

ITS#EIGHT on Diesel Cult

There are mainly two good reasons to visit Diesel Cult. First of all, it’s a place where you’ll meet people mostly “preaching” about style, music, places and art. The second reason worth noting is that it hosts a minisite with a narrow subject focus: ITS#EIGHT – The Greatest Show of All. With its clean and [...]

The study moved its tiny first steps from the eight number… the concept of infinite loop… the infinetely big and the infinitely small. What would it look like to fall into such [...]

In Seventh Heaven

ITS#SEVEN

International Talent Support is all about pure talent: it seeks to articulate the connections between the complex processes of cultural production, consumption and creativity, which here is intended in its broadest possible sense. Truth be told, it somehow manages to combine the three.
Despite the fact that we all seem to know what we are talking [...]

Catwalk FX

Catwalk Effects

I had my first experience with multi-display production and presentation systems dealing with preparation of ITS#SEVEN fashion show. Watchout was our platform of choice to boost the emotional intesity of each collection on catwalk, and raise its dramatic qualities to full potential. I was really happy with the final results once we got live on [...]

The Sinners’ parade

ITS#SEVEN Catalogue

All in all, I’m sure I can refer to this project as a risky job, since the whole color management work was done practically blinded. At that time, we were following a tigh series of deadlines for the upcoming ITS#SEVEN event, so we had no extra resources to spend on the catalogue itself (read Time, [...]

Here’s to the Sinners

Here's to the Sinners

It clearly helps having a solid background in Computer Graphics when you deal with visual materials everyday. So, when Fabio talked to me about “The Gate” video installation he was working on and the problems he was facing, I had the right weapon to use just at hand.
Sketching a heart-shaped winged figure in three dimension [...]
