Postcard for TRON Legacy

Postcard for TRON Legacy

To celebrate the highly anticipated release of TRON: Legacy, in cinemas 17 december 2010 , Don’t Panic started a graphic contest to create a TRON: Legacy inspired postcard based on the theme ‘Hidden Places’.

My entry is a visual inverse journey to the world of Tron Legacy: from the Grid to the arcade to the single coin that starts the adventure. Circles represent disks and also gates to parallels places.

Do not forget to cast your vote till 12 december 2010, thanks!

New skin for paolotonon.com

Circle Fog
paolotonon.com shows today a new skin. I created this portfolio 18 months ago upon Wordpress platform and I kept changing the graphic theme ever since.  I modified some famous theme like Grid—A—Licious but now I feel the need of a more consistent design.

The base inspiration come from a picture taken by my beloved wife at Lago di Misurina during a very foggy day.  I like the ethereal and liminal atmosphere of this picture, I think it describes very well my aesthetic feeling in these days.

I used the modern-clix theme as base, than I build a little semi-movable theater using jParallax.

Please love it.

Cities need stories

Cities need stories

Poster for partecipation in Felicity international graphic competition. Felicity is an international design competition is open to graphic artists all over the world. The primary objective of Felicity is to promote a debate around the basic theme of life in the community and how improvements can be made.

This Artwork like the Isadora city in the Calvino’s novel has two main aspects. By one side the raw data that describe the 136 most populated urban areas in the world. This data tell us about the basic city characteristics: Population, Extension, Density ad Purchasing Power Parity. Like the subterranean lake, the data feed upper semantic levels.

By the other side the artworks presents a graphic representation of the data by exploded pie charts that may look like wells; a very complex visual scenario but coherent, like the Calvino’s description of aerial part of Isaura.
The story is an attempt to find human meaning in the raw data. Good stories, based on true data, can really enhance our cities.

The trailer represents the today’s society immersed in information noise, driven by trans-humanistic hopes, feared  the hidden taboo in the eyes of the majority, rather inclined to uncritically  follow stars created by the Monarch Project.
At the center there is the artist that reveals hidden meanings by semantically reversing ready-made. icons.
