What Is A Graduated Syringe

101 zen stories


The "101 Zen stories"
has always been one of my favorite books: the simplicity and eloquence of those skinny little stories I have ever affected, since the first time that the book happened in my hands a summer day several years ago, when returning by train from Florence.
It has since been a faithful companion, both figuratively (because those stories can be read on many different levels) is literal, because I think it's the book that slips easily into my pocket by the traveler at the time of departure.
More than a book is a collection of anecdotes Theme Zen
(a sect of Japanese Buddhism, which derives from

Chinese Chan Buddhism), but much of which reveals the Eastern way of thinking every day. This is because the environment in which these stories came of age was full of these philosophies to the smallest details of everyday life. You applied philosophy to everyday life, as always should be to not to fall into sterile intellectual exercise. The humor is also seen in certain episodes, or the paradox of certain situations or certain actions. To be sure, is a book that I really enjoy it.

So, I'm kind of a debt of gratitude to this book, which I have now paid off, making a web version. The mini-project was developing the menu for the hole (see previous post ) where I had invented, agree with Hermann, the elusive "flat Zen : a walnut shelled the center of a platter of pizza, enclosing a story of the 101 printed on a single A5 by way 'of business fortune in China. Preparing the printing of these stories I realized that there is not an Italian version online (unlike the English, www.101zenstories.com) and since I would particularly convenient for this job, I really missed. As with all books, an online version will never supplant the paper, I turn the pages, to open the case, having in his pocket, crumpled, the signs of use, etc.. But can used to approach these sparkling gems of wisdom imperishable, which are now heritage of all mankind.

So, here goes.

Men Groping On The Train

a menu for an evening of Buca

Last Tuesday I finally brought the menu over to the good of Hermann pub La Buca (Pescia, PT), we have developed over the last couple of weeks.

is a collapsible menu

into three parts, A3, laminated to make it immortal

with customers more Maneschi. The work came just fine and I enjoyed a lot to do, because I had carte blanche and I could focus on a modern and vibrant, in line with a young and dynamic.

The photos above are of proofs ... some margin of errors have been corrected!
I developed all with InDesign, creating images in Photoshop (and export with transparency). Here is a screenshot of the working window in InDesign:

Many of the icons I designed in Illustrator. The signs of a "marker" that seem to be made by hand ... are just like that, with a tablet Wacom. The portrait of Hermann is my work with photography + traditional pencil, then inked in Illustrator and colored in Photoshop.

all part of a project then a bit 'wider which also involved the design of a Blogger

the pub, and formerly a flyer: all in the same style, which contrasts nicely with the' traditional appearance of the pub, but that aligns well with the character who runs it and most of the patrons.
