“I believe that Buenos Aires is living through one of its greatest moments. There is a huge artistic movement here. A lot of new art galleries have opened up and there seem to be design events going on everywhere. This is a new trend.”



The joy of conferences? Is that everyone takes you really seriously.

“I would describe my work as simple and fun, but with a strong idea or message behind it. Life should be fun and humourous when possible and I hope that my illustrations generate a sense of joy and happiness.”


The Five Fears of Negotiating Design FeesA few weeks ago I led a negotiation seminar with my colleague Charles Wiggins, who was my negotiation coach back in 1998. We hired him to improve The Leonhardt Group’s ability to bargain with large corporate clients.

The Monday after the sessions one of our account managers closed a deal on the phone with significantly higher fees than expected simply because, as he said, “I felt more confident, for the first time in my life, just because I knew what was going on.”

There are a million and one blog posts out there that all claim to give away the secret ingredient for an effective link building campaign, most of them harp on about creating great content and letting the links just come in naturally. Or they use huge sites as examples and businesses that are already household names and that credibility naturally.

If you’re running a smaller website or even a start up this can be so frustrating – where do you get these magical links from when you don’t yet have any authority or credibility or even any traffic? In all honesty there is no short cut and there’s no secret ingredient, it takes time and hard work but here’s 6 ways any site not matter how small can get great links with lots of power without having to spend a fortune buying them.

Build Yourself A Name

the blueprint1 6 Link Building Tips For Small Sites

Eventually you want to become a recognised industry leader, you want people to see your name and know instantly you know what you’re talking about so you might as well start this now. Create a stock pile of really high quality, informative content that proves you know your stuff. Drip feed it through your site and your blog but don’t expect any amazing results overnight, this is just laying the foundations to build from. Following the same logic start getting social, start using Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+ and any other social network that happens to be in favour at the moment. Again, you’re not doing this for instant gains; you’re just helping to lay the foundations that your link building campaign is going to stand on.

Do The Research

research1 6 Link Building Tips For Small Sites

If you want links you need to know where you want to get these links from, take the time to make a list of all the sites you’d not only like a link from but also the sites that you think you have a realistic chance of getting a link from (the larger the site the more likely they are to only offer links in exchange for a fee). Once you know which sites you’re going to target you need to find something you can offer them in exchange for that link, gone are the days where you could simply fire a load of emails out requesting a link so you need to put some thought into your strategy.

Images should tell a story, they are a lingering snippet of time, that leaves the viewer questioning, what has just happened? What is about to happen? Why are these people there? What are they doing? Is the composition set up? Why has it been set up that way?

Hannah Starkey uses actors in carefully chosen settings to create lingering pictures in time that raise all of these questions, in choosing women that are ‘ordinary’ and clothed, she is challenging the ‘raunchy aspect’ of how women are represented in everyday imagery. Her work, creates a counter aesthetic for representing women. As one of the most influential and significant photographers of her generation, she creates images that emerge from the split second of the everyday and are resolved into what appears to be an extended moment in time.

@ddd gallery, Osaka Japan
January 18 – March 8, 2012

UMA/design farm designed an exhibition of graphic designer Mr.Akio Okumura. Contents is his 40 years work and ‘now-future’ work.

Exhibition was divided in four parts, Package / Poster / VI (logo animation and logo cards) / Mr. Akio Okumura’s studio (stay production).

Each part was separated by partitions that are 1,000 mm height. Visitors can feel Mr. Akio Okumura’s existence from anywhere in the room. And when they squat down, they can focus to appreciate his work.

Furthermore, visitor can order name card design and poster design to him. He will design in the exhibition studio, so they can experience his design process while talking with him.
