Dictionary of received ideas

This was one of my last projects on ESAD and one of the most entertaining ones. We had to redo the Dictionary of received ideas by Gustave Flaubert just like we wanted. My idea was to present the book like a set of playing cards but in the end it turned out to be a crossover between the playing cards and the business cards since I wanted them to be smaller. Below are a more detailed photos so just click on theem for a bigger preview.

From Porto to Lisbon

June 14th, 2009

So … it has been quite long time ago since some of my family came and visit me. If I think about it I do not actually remember how long ago :D But! We went to Lisbon!

Lisbon trip-5404

As you can see Jesus over the Golden gate bridge. Just kidding about the bridge name as I do not know how it is called, if someone knows they can write under the comments :)

All in all the trip was more about Oceanarium in Lisbon, which is a must for anyone that is visiting Lisbon. The only thing that I have missed in it was a Whale shark. But that is probably because the water tank is not big enough?
No idea :D

Going on …

This is just a picture I took in a park near Oceanarium.

Besides Oceanarium we also have seen all of the usual sights and ZOO.

After Lisbon we drove to Porto from which I will show you only these two from the other side of the river Douro in Vila Nova de Gaia.

Road trip

April 22nd, 2009

I know, I know! I didn’t post anything in a while.

We had a week free, and we decided to leave Porto (even though I still have things to see around here …) and go on a trip. We rented a car and drove off. We hadn’t fixed our plans to a certain place but decided to go and drive south, and we ended up in Sagres, Gibraltar and Malaga. Truthfully, all I wanted  to see were the monkeys at Gibraltar :D In the end we drove 2500 km far what proved to be too much for five days. But all in all, it doesn’t matter that we drove almost all the time as the experience was unforgettable.

Couple of photos from the road trip:

First project

March 20th, 2009

The first project at ESAD has been finished! Actually it all ready hangs in the classroom for some time. We have been given an assignment to represent any data we want on the map of the world. I chose prevalence of HIV since there is a lot of statistical data about it.
