Illustration: Suitable Work Spaces (1996)

Illustrator: Gil Martinez
Technique: Scratchboard

An illustration for my undergrad thesis, outlining the minimum measurements for a suitable work surface. I used scratchboard because I knew the book had to be printed in one ink if it was to be printed at all.


Manual Básico de caligrafía e iluminación (1996)

Author/Designer/Illustrator: Gil Martinez

My undergrad thesis, on type and calligraphy, was a project begun in 1994 and completed in 1996. The work is an excellent primer on the handwritten letterform, and its relationship to printed type. It was published by Universidad Iberoamericana, my alma mater, and it can be purchased from their website. It won a Merit mention in How Magazine's International Design Competitio in 1997.
