INSPIRATION GUIDE FOR DESIGNERS

INSPIRATION GUIDE FOR DESIGNERS

INSPIRATION GUIDE FOR DESIGNERS

I clearly remember the moment everything began. It was a hot day in November 2006 in Porto Alegre,
Brazil. When my business partner and great friend, Fabiano Meneghetti, and I got back to work after lunch,
we saw the door of our office broken in, and then I saw that we had been robbed—all of our laptops, monitors,
and
backup
discs
gone.
It
was
terrible,
but
it
was
the
beginning
of
a
big
change
in
my
life.
As crazy as it might sound, if it weren’t for the burglars I probably wouldn’t have had the opportunity to
write this book. And much more than that, I would not have had the chance to meet so many of the talented
artists,
designers,
and
people
I
now
call
friends.
Among
them
are
the
amazing
friends
behind


Abduzeedo
who
helped
make
this
book
possible.
