NEON TETRA — ISSUE 01
Páginas seleccionadas del primer —y único— número de Neon Tetra: The Scribbles Issue.
Sobre lo espontáneo, lo repentino y las mil pruebas que llevan a un resultado. Es un formato de 20,5x28cm, cosido con hilo en forma de cadeneta y con encartes de distintos tamaños. La tipografía principal es Neue Haas Grotesk, en distintos pesos y variaciones. También aparece mi tipografía BOOM, especialmente diseñada para el concepto de este número. Los papeles utilizados son de gramajes y texturas variadas, para enriquecer la experiencia manual del producto y para ahondar en el carácter experimental de esta entrega. Hablamos del garabato como algo que está entre idea inicial y resultado. Algo transitorio, impulsivo y que no tiene interés por la forma sino por la esencia. Distinguimos garabatos offline: notas rápidas, dibujos, palabras...; y garabatos online: escritos del móvil, mensajes sin enviar y todas las mesas de trabajo que se usan para acabar un proyecto.Este primer número incluye cuadros digitales hechos por la artista Andrea Badia; y un póster 40x60cm de las obras más importantes del arte abstracto del siglo XX.

Selected pages from the first —and only— issue of Neon Tetra: The Scribbles Issue.
It's about the spontaneous, the sudden and the thousand tests that lead to a result. The magazine is a 20.5x28cm format, sewn with chain-shaped thread and with inserts of different sizes. The main typeface is Neue Haas Grotesk, in different weights and variations. My BOOM font also appears, specially designed for the concept of this issue. The papers used are of varied weights and textures, to enrich the manual experience of the product and to delve into the experimental nature of the magazine. We speak of the scribble as something that is between the first idea and result. Something transitory, impulsive and not interested in form but in essence. We distinguish offline scribbles: post-its, drawings, words...; and online scribbles: mobile writings, unsent messages and all the work spaces that are used to finish a project. This first issue includes digital pictures made by the artist Andrea Badia; and a 40x60cm poster of the most important works of abstract art of the 20th century.
