Pete Buttigieg: Eyes fixed forward "From all of the things we do want to emulate, all the best moments in our past, these moments are brought to us by people who’s attribute was that they cared about the future. They kept their eyes fixed forward”. — Pete Buttigieg, Opening speech in the Asian and Latino Coalition meeting in Des Moines, Iowa, 4/17/2019 I really support Mayor Pete's view on this. In a problematic and difficult era nostalgia and will to return to a glorified past, as appealing as it can be, isn’t a production solution or a real path to happiness. We idolize the past when the present isn’t bright and when the future scares us. What Buttigieg and any other clever person can see in the past is great examples and lessons. Created by people who really wanted to create a better future and that’s why we are remembering them. So my 4th artwork for him is a collage of moments from the near or distant past. Moments difficult or bright. Fractions of history put together to form the portrait of somebody I wish to see guiding the future. A future based on values and ideas measured by concrete results.

BOOM - RETRO - FUTURE! "Branding is exploding in so many different ways. It takes us to nostalgic places of the past or it push us to a promising future. We designers are facing the challenges of our times by always diving deep to the past to find principles and analytic tools. This is my explosion. A pop, nostalgic, childish and yet futuristic vision of a always challenging profession."This is a poster I created for the 3rd International Conference and Exhibition on Semiotics and Visual Communication 2017. I am one of 21 designers interpret explosion as the prevailing visual sign of the 21st Century. The Poster exhibition is opening on Friday 3rd of November 2017 at 21:30, Tassos Papadopoulos building foyer Cyprus University of Technology. http://bit.ly/2yXKXAj
