 About TSOD


The science of design features creative people from different fields of design and art. My aim is to find interesting work that contributes with something unique to the world. I'm specially interested when I come across artists that are not receiving the recognition they deserve. Great talent should not go unnoticed.

—————Design by Country—————

The artists are tagged by the country they are based in, or where they come from. This is particularly useful to acquire a sense of how design is happening in a place, but also as a tool to enter in contact with artists that live in the same area.

———————Collections———————

With a larger collection of digital art and photography, this blog collects portfolios from other fields specially when they have had an interesting conceptual approach or have experimented on the aesthetics of a project.

max bill chronoscope

i'm a big fan of his work, and i love this chronograph of his - great example of clean, strong bauhaus design



Max Bill was probably the most important swiss artist of the 20th century and the most famous student to come out of the legendary Bauhaus in Dessau. He was a pupil of Walter Gropius and kindred spirit of Le Corbusier and Mies VanderRohewas. Max Bill was an ardent anti-fascist and all his avant-garde work as an artist, sculptor, architect and typographer showed a social responsibility and environmental awareness right through his life.
