Avoid the Future: AboutATF
Avoid the Future is a blog about comic books, covering everything from small press publishers to the big indies and beyond. Based on a secret island fortress somewhere between the UK and France, we’ve been lucky enough to feature reviews, previews, and interviews with creators and industry professionals. We’re currently acting as French-to-English translation team for Blank Slate Books, where we are in the process of editing Peggy Adam’s Luchadoras for publication in Feburary. Starting as labour of love for the team behind the blog, our aim is to celebrate and promote graphic narrative in all of its forms, internationally and across the publishing spectrum. If it has words and pictures, we’re probably interested in it.

A "blowup" of a "quadrichrome" or 4 color offset lithograph section, circa 1950 Italian. Note that the dots are "mechanically" aligned to blend together to create a complete spectrum of color using the white backround as part of the blend. Offset lithography may begin with a photograph or scan of something. It can also be a photograph of an original painting, or a gouache. In the laboratory the photograph or scan is separated by a special camera and today by computer, into the four basic color elements- red, yellow, blue and black. A negative is then made for each color.

Soojin Kang of Seoul, Korea via all the mountains . These are pieces of reclaimed furniture that Kang has reupholstered (by hand) with scraps of leather. She’s clearly a super talented designer as she’s able to turn discarded goods into beautifully-crafted objects. “According to designer Soojin Kang, who ‘fights against this epidemic (of disposables) with needles and threads,’ she believes that the lack of consumer consciousness will increase even more in the future. She has therefore set out and hand crafted her own furniture which is inspired by traditional crafts and antique raw materials.” - YatzerWork
There's a direct link between sports and statistics, it's called math. The idea of measuring and comparing results is what makes sports so entertaining, and we wanted to apply this idea when designing this annual report for Bergen city, department of sports and culture. Looking into field markings and court lines we found that they all reminded us somewhat of lines and curves from graphs and statistics, and the color schemes seemed to follow a set of unspoken rules in both these markings and in teams' uniforms. Bright, colorful, and often just a little skewed versions of the primary colors. Inspired by these findings, the annual report was shaped within its own set of «unwritten» visual rules. <p style="text-align:right;color:#A8A8A8"></p>
