Expressions from Studio Locaso is an innovative visual diary that encourages you not to be an iSissy and to get your hands dirty when it comes to design.
Dispelling the myth that a Mac computer is the only tool a designer can ustifiably use, Patricia Locaso and Jarrod Bransden believe that spare moments in the studio should be spent reading, researching trends, playing with ink, paint, play-doh, coffee granules and generally soaking up and throwing around information in all its diversified glory.
The inherent self-indulgence of Expressions is what gives it strength. With the pieces stemming from this experimental philosophy, the work communicates the theme of “A VISION. A VOICE. AN EMOTION. A PERCEPTION”, while simultaneously acknowledging the inherent power of design.
Japanese bound, individually numbered and limited to only 500 copies, Expressions will also leave a lasting impression on whichever bookshelf it lands.
