Fresh out of Saint Martins with a degree from the Foundation Course is Spanish designer Xavi García. This wonderfully crafted piece of work, Handmade was displayed at the recent Foundation degree show. The project derives from a college brief entitled Handmade. Here is how Xavi García describes his project.
“A reaction to the soulness of digital design. This note pretends to remind the viewer the amount of work, hours, patience and love that artisians put into the handicrafts they produce and stress how valuable they are, replacing currency for the amount of time spent working on it (3 months were given for this project).

Entirely drawn by hand, using different printing techniques, it features security measures common in banknotes such as watermarks, tactile elements, see-through images and invisible UV ink.” Drypoint, screenprint and stamps on newsprint. 110×190 mm
