l’Avventura

Things will be a bit quiet here at Soulellis.com for the next few weeks, while I go find out what it’s like to be a student again. I’ll be one of 15 in SVA’s Masters Workshop in Italy with Louise Fili and Steven Heller. We’ll be looking at typography, theory and design history and creating self-defined book design projects in Venice and Rome.
Why am I doing this? After many years designing in front of a computer screen, I feel like it’s time for me to go back out into the world and give my eyes (and sketching hands) a good two-week workout. I’m giving myself over to the kind of old-fashioned creative stimulation that comes from walking, seeing, sketching, absorbing. Cultural immersion, in situ. (Which should include, hopefully, lots of prosecco. And gelato.)
I’ll try to share the adventure here.
Don’t worry, Soulellis Studio is still open for business, with Erik and Alison at the wheel! And I’m back to work Monday morning, June 14.
A presto,
Paul
