“Delirante Manoly” (Delirious Manoly) is an iPad app created using only Adobe Edge Animate. The main plot themes of this domestic noire thriller are housewives, obsession and murder. The protagonist’s story unfolds over a number of interactive screens in the form of an illustrated poem, a cross between an illustrated short story and net art. The jury rated it highly for being “an uninhibited illustration project with a sense of humour that explores new formats.”
A new concept of hostel for a target public that values design and art and is not part of mass tourism (millennials, backpackers, families and groups). The brand image is Santiago Rusiñol, artist and writer born in this very building. The project preserves the essence of the property, developing its historical, cultural and architectural value. Technology and social networks mean that new experiences of use can also be offered. The jury rated it highly for “the interpretation of historical memory adapted to the spirit of our time.”
“Make It Emotional” proposes improving visual communication adapting emotional design theories to graphic design. This book is the product of research based on the theoretical frameworks of Don Norman and how designers Stefan Sagmeister and James Victore develop emotional design. The project, which is similar to a how-to guide, looks at different ways of relating emotionally to the public. The jury rated it highly for the “thorough research work formally expressed that highlights emotions.”
“Chronotopia” explores the architecture of knowledge and time awareness, discovering the intrinsic connection of spatial and time relationships and merging them into one specific whole. Time becomes palpable, artistically visible, and space is charged, becoming receptive to movements of time, area and history. The project is proposed as an urban intervention that focuses on social, physical or temporal connectivity. The jury rated it highly for “its versatile response to a complex programme.”
