The concept created here at thestudio for the communication of Tamariz Club Summer of 2007 was based on the elements of the I-Ching.

Circuit 2007 Identity  Client. Circuit Portugal  Date. 02-2007     Media. Freehand & Photoshop

The concept developed by thestudio for this year's edition of Circuit was "Secrets". The main idea for the graphic approach was to develop a series of images, in Street Art style, that would give the idea that several anonimous individuals had walked up to a wall somewhere and expressed their private thoughts and anguishes with a stencil and a can of spray.

Have a look at the event's site here, developed by Spirituc.

Have a look through Pieter's kick-ass folio - www.pieterfrank.com he has one of the qualities I most admire in an illustrator, he is able to vary his technique without being addicted to only one style.

The Boom is over, so I can finally post all of the graphic material created for the event.
(Wasn't allowed to post this material before because of possible forgeries made from the images...)

For those of you who didnt have the opportunity to go... Go to the 2008 edition.
Even if you dont really enjoy Psy-Trance music, even if you dont like camping,
you have to go to the Boom.

Its one of the best organized festivals around, with plenty of things to do, see and hear.
I heard a lot of nicknames for the event (everything from
Disneyland for Freaks, Trustafarian Resort and Pirate Island)
but you should go and see for yourself - its a truly unique gathering
of some of the most excentric people that roam this planet.

You'll have a very good time for sure.

Poster Tryouts
The Bottom-Middle image was found in Google
It was the trigger for everything else...







Concept Sketches


The Dance Floor

The main concept for this edition of the Boom was "the Tree of Life", depicted in the logo,
and an actual 10m tall tree was built in the middle of the main dance floor.


Decor

By initiative of the decor team, the entire floor was covered in a
shading mesh replicating the aboriginal dot-graphix from the poster.


Decor

At night the whole effect created by the decor was incredible...

Door Tickets


Braceletes
The top five bracelets were for visitors- at the door a different colour was given out
for each of the 5 days
. The bottom bracelet was for staff.





E-tickets



Food and Drink Vouchers
Two spot colours - One of which is fluor, to make it easier for the staff at night

Book Cover - "Loucos pela Índia"   Client. Via Optima     Date. 05-2006     Media. Photoshop

In english the title would be "Crazy about India". In Portuguese and in French (the original edition) this title can have two meanings "Crazy about India" and "Crazy from India".

Portuguese:
Texto da Contra Capa

“A Índia enlouquece ou os loucos é que vão à Índia?”
Um psiquiatra, Régis Airault, constatou que, de Mumbai a Goa, de Deli a Pondichéry, um verdadeira síndroma indiano atinge todos os Ocidentais – na sua maior parte adolescentes e jovens adultos – que vão a este país. Aí, mais do que em qualquer outro lugar e de uma forma mais espectacular, parece que a nossa identidade vacila.
Pessoas até então indemnes a qualquer desordem psiquiátrica sentem subitamente, sem tomar drogas, um sentimento de estranheza e perdem contacto com a realidade. O mais curioso é que quase todos estes problemas não têm continuação. Chegado a casa, o viajante guarda mesmo deles uma boa recordação e, algum tempo mais tarde, não tem senão uma ideia na cabeça: voltar à Índia…
Então o que é que nos atrai na Índia? Porque é que lá somos tão frágeis? E o que nos ensina sobre nós mesmos esta experiência, que transforma em profundidade a nossa visão do mundo?

I was really glad to hear that Goa Gil was coming back to Portugal to play, so that i could close the story from last year's flyer. The point being, one of the little girls in the previous flyer was playing with a little turtle, at the time I knew if the chance to create a second image for that series it would have to be with the now-fully-grown-turtle...

This project didnt go through. The basic idea here was to create a flyer promoting the 4 dates in which the event will take place, using a struc
ture similar to a children's book where you can swap heads and bodies of several characters. The characters here were representative of this editions theme "Lusomix" where artists from all portuguese speaking countries are invited to participate, in the sketches from left to right São Tomé e Principe girl, Brasilian Dj, Portuguese girl and Angolan man.
