Publications Graphic Design Inspirations Daab 2010 Authors: João Faissal I had two of my old graphics published on this book! The graphic design landscape fans out dazzlingly between proceedures that are characterized by digital / technical parameters and design and a stage management of that which is personal, earmarked and hand-made. Photography, street art as well as other expressive forms of art, have a mutually inspiring relationship with design. In contrast to the past decades, all this is not necessarily entirely new qualitatively, but quantitatively it is impressively different. Graphic Design Inspirations compiles over 1.500 works from all across the world. Strategies that are conceptually and communicatively different, topographical quality, visual innovations and originality have been decisive in the selection process of this book.

Augusto Melo, was João's client "Every once in a while you get a student like Joao Faissal who is so talented and creative and brings so much to the program it makes you appreciate the job you have. Joao is an amazing individual, with endless amounts of creative energy and enthusiasm, never one to shy away from a challenge and always finds the fresh and unique approach to problem solving. It was a pleasure for all of us in the program to have him for a student for those two years. We all learnt lots about him, Brasil and ourselves as a result. We will read about him one day soon in the design magazines I'm sure." Nigel Roe, Design Instructor, Holland College, taught João at Holland College Page4
