Offf with Adobe : portraits by AKUsepp

What happens when you put a bunch of designers together in a city like Barcelona?

They have to do something together! I was invited by Adobe at Offf for the second year. Sebastien Spasic, known as AKUsepp on Instagram, starts shooting portraits of guests and speakers last year, as I show in this post. For this year, we want to push it further. We start with pictures with an object but after the first one, I think it would be even cooler if each of us personalizes the photo to show his work and style : pixel art, lettering, illustration... this is the result of the pictures done over 2 days!

Click each picture to know more on each creative!

Offf with Adobe : visit Vasava Barcelona

posted in Print | Nice to meet you  at 7.54 AM from Mr Cup Studio (near Arles) / France

I am back from Off Festival, my 3td time there and always the same feeling: super inspired! As last year I was invited by Adobe France, who do the things well: putting all these creatives in the same hotel, bus and restaurants can only bring some great ideas! I will talk about that later. Let starts with Vasava. We were invited there to visit their amazing studio. I could not shoot really decent pictures because we were 50 peoples visiting, but I want to found a way to share the experience! I found them on google map, so here come some screen captures!
 
I already present their great book they design for the Offf festival 2 years ago.

Here comes a small selection of their projects... very small because they have done so much things... Including the great socks they give us (and my daughter stole me at the minute I show them to her)!

Tomorrow I will be back in Barcelona for my 3td Offf festival, the place to be for inspiration! Again this year I came under the invitation of Adobe, with a bunch of other designers and creatives! It starts tomorrow for us, as we have a lot of things to do in Barcelona before the opening of Offf on Thursday! I really want to see "in real" Vaughan Olivier, Kelli Anderson, Annie  Atkins. Follow me on twitter, Instagram and facebook to share the experience and here come some pictures I took during last year edition!
