Kite n Chill!
A paradise in the middle of the Caribbean sea where sun, warm water, sharks, turtles and colorful corals meet the wind at 20 knots every day. I spent my last 11 days kitesurfing, relaxing and being inspired by the beauty of Los Roques, Venezuela.
About 10 years ago I designed this logo to be the symbol of our snowboard/skate crew called SPL (spallebbasse), I made hundreds of tees and sweatshirts for our friends. Sometimes walking around I still see somebody wearing them. It’s almost time for a new edition!
Just finished the packaging and vfx for a documentary will air next fall on the Italian tv. Stay tuned!
A few months ago I made a trailer for a book titled Brace written by Attlio Caselli, Fazi Editore. Now it has been released, I loved it.
R.I.P Deakids pitch
One of the most important Italian book editor decided to go on air with a channel for kids. I made this boards in 2008 for the branding pitch. The idea was to make something that would have looked good for the children, very animated and playful, but still reliable and safe for their parents. The book when opened releases all its contents filling the kids’ world with tons of fun and colors. Sorry kids you couldn’t watch it.
PromaxBda 2010 Elite party at the Playboy Mansion, Los Angeles CA. Yes, there was the open bar too :)
As the first post of my blog I want to start from what brought me where I am: snowboarding.
It was Easter 1997, in a resort called Pescegallo (Italian central Alps) where I use to hitchhike after school almost every afternoon from December to May. It was my first freestyle competition, along with a group of friends, some other snowboarders and a lot of fun. Three runs each and the judges decided: I was the winner.
It was the first of several national and international competitions I took part for the next 6 years, supported by my great sponsors and a lot of my best friends.
Finished high school - attracted by the sick snowboard graphics - I decided to attend Industrial Design at college, and a sponsor offered me a part time job designing their snowboards and equipment. Then the master degree in Communication Design, the role of Art Director at Blackhole Snowboards, my firs job as a Motion Designer in television, and so on.
Since that day I’ve never stopped thinking how snowboarding changed me and my life.
Welcome.
