As the world waits for the Copenhagen summit next December we take a look at the world opinions about the efforts that should be made. What’s amazing with this data from World Public Opinion is that the majority of the world’s population is looking forward for their government’s to address this issue. People are ready to take upon them some burdens if they feel it helps healing the world.
What we like about this is that politicians should look to the Copenhagen summit without fear of loosing their people’s support even if they need to make some changes in some comfort areas. This means that there is a real possibility to finally take measurements that really matter to the world and the climate change.

This is an visualization/illustration that I’ve made for an article in Visão, Portugal best selling newsmagazine.
The story was about the 50 years of ETA and I wanted to show every attack that ETA did in Spain that lead to a killing.
We’ve set a scale for the circles and to help understand the number of victims I’ve placed their names as a back ground.
This visualization wasn’t meant to be an exact tool to allow the readers to see every single attack; instead the goal was to present an idea of the large number of attacks and it’s victims and have a visual impact of this drama.

This was a small work that I’ve made for Visão, Portugal best selling newsmagazine.
The idea was to compare North and South Korea on a number of things.
I’ve used the isometric approach before (as you can see in my photostream) and wanted to improve on it. This small visualization looked as the perfect little project to do so.

A simple idea I had driving home after work. It’s really a hell of a typeface. Hope you like it!

Having read about the ‘new’ Hubble I found a set of four new pictures that where ‘just asking’ to be used. Using Big Boned typace from Network Osaka I made a set of four posters, called Deep Space. Hope you like it.
These four images are among the first observations made by the new Wide Field Camera 3 aboard the upgraded NASA Hubble Space Telescope. The image shows NGC 6302, a butterfly-shaped nebula surrounding a dying star.

It’s still so worth it!
After a long time feeling drain out and with nothing to say here, I’ve found this amazing typeface from my friend Network Osaka. I really admire his work (you can check it here) and this typeface just ‘made’ me do something with it. I shall experiment with it a lot more. I just hope that you don’t judge BIG BONED typeface by this work and give it a go yourself. It’s shared for download on Network Osaka’s site.

We believe that, most of the times, it’s the simple way of adressing problems and the simple solutions that give you the best results. To make this statement we’ve made this simple poster. Hope you like it.
