    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 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…

    I’ve pulled away from social media throwing things my way: the distraction is mostly fueled by ennui , what my edition of Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary of Current English defines as a “weariness of mind caused by lack of any interesting occupation”, and I can’t deal with that anymore.

    Tested the waters today, trying to figure out if and how I can use the visual programming language of Processing (afaik it is based on Java) on my tablet. The short answers are “yes” and “buggy”, so I will leave it at that. I’ve used the tablet’s default screenshot option, since I seemingly can’t use…

    Starting to dig into dots and points deeper led to the writing of Wassily Kandinsky. Inspired by his observations on the dot on a background, I went and made a few variations with two dots, and observed myself how and what kinds of tensions I could build. I again decided on compressing these images down…

    Hello friend. Drew this skull yesterday as a cool down drawing in Procreate, and today I went back to it, to push it more towards to what I want. I have color processed it in Affinity Designer, and then exported it from there as gifs using the websafe palette, using 16 colors as a personal…

    “If we perceive the juxtaposition and depth in our environment not just as a series of images in our minds, but as a three-dimensional structure (which in turn defines our thinking), then and only then will we escape the visual chaos of our surroundings and can turn to planning.” Ulf Jonak, Grundlagen der Gestaltung (in…

    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. Couldnʼt find it. Laptop booted the wrong OS. Wrong resolution. Full panic mode. Did…
