Attending OFFF 2011 Barcelona

Here’s a little personal update of me regarding next year’s OFFF festival, which is going to be epic. In 2011 I’m heading over to the OFFF festival in Barcelona. It will be a 3 days long event filled with art, design, talks and meetings with awesome creative people.

The list of speakers at OFFF 2011 is insane and besides that there will be some other amazing people attending the festival. Some of the people speaking/attending: James White (Signalnoise), Joshua Davis, Justin Maller (on behalf of depthcore), Matt W. Moore, Bechira Sorin and Saad Moosajee (for slashTHREE), Stefan Sagmeister, Fabio Sasso (Abduzeedo) and the list goes on (and on).

“OFFF is a way of understanding art. A way of life.
Evolving and transforming.”

OFFF

In other words: OFFF is going to be amazing and I simply had to go. I’ll be heading down there together with my buddy Erik Wiegers and it will be amazing to finally meet some great artists in person. If you’re going to OFFF as well and you’re interested in meeting up: let me know.

Newsflash – A revamp and a stop

There are two things that have been on my mind for a few months now. The first one is one by force: I’m going to revamp my own website, which I have to. The second one: I’m going to pull the plug from my blog, which I want to. So what the hell is all that about?

Creative festival – OFFSET 2012 Dublin

After some heavy pondering I finally decided to attend the OFFSET event in Dublin this March, a 3 days long creative event about art and design. The list of speakers is absolutely amazing so I just couldn’t miss out. There are a lot of speakers that will definitely have some inspiring and motivating talks. Here are some that I totally want to check out. (I’m just going to make this post something that I could’ve filed under ‘inspirational’ as well.)

Trends in cover art – CD covers and originality

I label myself as a designer for music, with a preference for cover art, so I figured it would be nice if I’d write more on-topic about that on my blog. After writing my previous post I thought: “It’s relevant and I like it, so why not write more about it?” So I’m just going to. I’ll try figuring out several approaches on how to write more about CD design and this is the first of a few subjects I will be delving into: trends in cover art.
