Paraty-The city was established in 1667. It had great which had economic importance to the sugar cane-of-sugar devices (it arrived to have 250 more than), being considered synonymous of good cachaca. In century XVIII, it was distinguished as important port for where if it flowed off of the Minas Gerais, the gold and the precious rocks that they embarked for Portugal. However, constants onslaughts of pirates who if took refuge in beaches as Trindade, had made with that the route of the gold was changed, taking the city to a great economic isolation.
At the time, our master Darcy Ribeiro, anthropologist and writer, discloses that the removed amount of gold of Brazil, multiplied for 5 the amount of gold in the world! This was the first globalization ... of the booty. To less from the technology it differs, a little, from today fiscal paradises.

Surface Design
Saturday, Aug 29, 2009 4:58AM / Members only
We present the general concept of “Design” according to the definition made by the international body, the International Council of Societies of Industrial Design / ICSID, a concept also adopted by the Brazilian Program of Design:
“Industrial Design is a creative activity that finds its goal in determining the formal properties of industrially produced objects. The so called formal properties must not be understood only through its exterior characteristics but, above all, the structural and function relationships that make an object (or a system of an object), a coherent unit, from the point of view of both the producer’s as well as the consumer’s. Industrial Design covers every aspect of the human environment conditioned by the industrial production.”
CONCEPT OF “SURFACE DESIGN”
The term “Surface Design” is generally used in its original English form and so is officially used in the Electronic jargon.
In Portuguese it is called “(Industrial) Design of Patterns”. However the term pattern is linked to the textile field and to patterns printed on cloth material. The French have also adopted the word “design” from the English, adding the term covering, thus making “Design de Revêtement”. So we notice that the word Design has acquired its own meaning, linked to industrial production.
Surface Design is a technical and creative activity aiming at the creation of two-dimensional (2D) images (visual and touchable textures), specifically projected for the construction and/or the treatment of surfaces, presenting aesthetic and functional solutions adequate to a variety of materials and processes of hand-made and industrial building. (Evelise Anicet RÜTHSCHILLING, 2006).
Areas of performance are: Textile (patterned material, plain cloth, knitted goods, lace, tapestry, weavering), papers (wall papers, wrapping papers, large panels), ceramics, glasses, synthetic materials and digital images (web sites, videos, games, etc…)
The more we study, more we identify the use of surface design in several sectors of human performance. It is a field in permanent expansion, following society’s development, in-between other fields of design and moving through virtual and concrete dimensions.
Surface Design can be considered a fairly new style of design in
The continuous pattern designer must have dominion over the effects cause on the composition by the repetition, as well as the known elements of visual language as the dot. The line, the form, texture, color, direction, etc…, that make up the project.
Rapport
The concept of “repetition”, in the Surface Design context, is the organization of the formal elements contained in the design in units or modules, which are repeated in fixed intervals according to a determined system, creating a pattern. It is an important pre-requisite to the surface designer the understanding of the repetition as a technical resource and also as a possibility of expression, for on several instances during the repetition of the module, unexpected and interesting visual differences appear, provoking a dialogue with its creator.

Renata Rubim, Designer from
“Surface Design is any kind of bi-dimensional design that doesn’t have a commitment with Graphic Design. The emphasis must not necessarily be in the repetition. On a wall project, any mural project, can be a an artistic work or a Surface Design. The difference, in my opinion, is in the authorship. If the project was made by an artist, its product will be artistic. If by a designer, it will be a design.”
Zorávia Bettiol, textile artist:
“I believe that man, in the moment of his life’s dawn on this planet, as he created a form in either a random or an organized way, he was coming up with Surface Design. These forms may have been simple or complex, painted or engraved, and the surface may have been the sand on a beach, the surface of rocks, the bark of trees, his own body, the weaving of baskets, ceramics, his utensils, tools and fabric, as well as accessories and adornments that made him beautiful. Surface Design meets man from the Paleolithic until today, in every instance of his life whether private or public, in all its complexities.”

CNathansohn_AnD2_Design T-Shirt Competition
Saturday, Mar 21, 2009 12:23AM / Members only
Aloha AnD’s dear friends,
I am glad to send a design for the two years Alive not Dead’s birthday and for the comemorative T-Shirt Design Competition.
Well, what has been done has a builted in philosophical character. Like an illustrator, I have tried to insert at the same message, the icons of a free-life style that ends on them.
The Mumbebo’s image is a “petrel”, a fishing bird that lives at Abrolhos Archipelago and at Fernando de Noronha Island – Brazilian territories at the Atlantic Ocean. It is a skilful surfer which amuses those who are surfing in these marvellous paradises far away from the coast between Brazil and Africa.
The second element, the AnD’s birthday; a creative site reached by me only virtually, that has a happy environment on its promotions, irradiating fraternity and exchanging informations between participating artists which work hardly to live on their art. It is a site that deals with exchanges for those who exercises their artistic individual potencialities.
At last myself, graduated on Statistics and designer, owner of my time for a free-life style, a strenuous one, but gratifying on proving each second that a different world is possible.
Cheers,
Carlos
