CONTRIBUTORS NUMBER 4.
Photography. Lost Generation. During a conversation, Gertrude Stein, Hemingway’s close friend, told him that “You’re all a Lost Generation.” What generation are you from?
Miss Alessia Laudoni. “Art has to be beautiful, the artist has to be beautiful” This is how we see the world. She is a professional photographer who halfway between Italy and Spain. She sees photography as the best way to express herself, or rather she really sees the world only through her lens. Always looking for beauty, always and forever.”
Photography. Beyond the black horizon. Making the most of the streets and enjoying them like you never can: lonely, beautiful, solemn.
Eskenaziencursiva. Started as a joint project between photographers Adriana Eskenazi and Laura Encursiva. Both share a similar aesthetic, despite having different backgrounds and styles. That makes their works complete. They both give their vision of the ideas and they create a single concept.
Illustrations. Classic Movies Sunglasses. Film-quality style for this summer. Fancy being the leading star?
Anna Solsona. She’s a graphic designer and she graduated from Eina in 2007. Her end-of-career project merited her a Laus Estudiantes nomination: an excellent book filled with illustrations of the Boqueria.

Retail. Sales. Thoughts on the wonderful world of sales. But is it really that wonderful?

She’s interested in adding value to commercial spaces and furniture for exhibitions of products she designed. Her interest in fashion led her to study window dressing and specialize in Visual Merchandising.
History. A Trip Through Time. History tells us how everything evolves, what remains and what changes in a certain place. Passeig de Gràcia has changed over time and those who have studied its history talk about its evolution.
Eduardo García. Born in Barcelona, he currently lives in the Poble Sec neighbourhood. He graduated in Art History from the Faculty of Geography and History at the Universitat de Barcelona. He has worked in the tourism industry for over 20 years as a travel guide and local guide. In 2000 he started to study Barcelona’s history, discover its hidden corners and prepare itineraries filled with history. Shall we go for a walk?
Scenery. Hidden Corners. Since Ingrid has always lived near Passeig de Gràcia, she can take us to the places that we’ve always wanted to see, places full of charm, history and Barcelona attitude.
Ingrid Pratmarsó. After finishing her studies on interior design, she decides take her life in a new direction when she starts her end of degree project on cultural management and new guidelines for museums. The result of the project is a new type of cultural centre that takes into account current problems and whose aim is curating. She’s currently organising the exhibition Tattoo the girl that soon we will be able to enjoy.
Current Events. 38-M. “Looking back on the general strike of 29 March (29-M) to remember that people also had other important demands”.
Jaime Barber. redactor creativo. Creative editor. He began studying biology but decided that it wasn’t made for when when he realised that he preferred working for the faculty magazine than in the laboratory. He then got into Advertising and since 2007 has worked on campaigns big and small, in agencies or through his personal project The Barber Shop, always guided by a simple and honest idea: “The consumer is not an idiot, he’s your friend on Facebook”.
Illustrations. Pictures of the team and contributors. Passeig de Gràcia is hope, a trip to Barcelona to study again in search of new adventures, an interesting project with a good start.
Elke Bauer. Freelance designer and illustrator. She won the “Youth of the Year” prize from the Creative Club in Austria and the Antalis Design Award 2009 with her end-of-course project on the Graphische Kolleg and Meisterklasse in Vienna. After two years working in alessandridesign in Vienna, she packed her cases and since September she’s been living in Barcelona.
Graphic humour. La Gracia. What he likes the most about Passeig de Gracia is that while the female Scandinavian Erasmus students walk down toward Plaça Catalunya, the Japanese girls are going in the opposite direction, and as they reach La Pedrera, looking down from a police helicopter the view is a constant flow of blond and black hair. It’s like a game of checkers.
Javi Royo. Designer, illustrator and cartoonist. He got his BA in Design from the University of the Basque Country. He also runs his own studio. He edits and contributes at the Estafador, an weekly independent publication on current affairs and graphic humour. Even more, he also co-directs jointly with Idoia García de Cortázar and participates as an author on the CHISPUM project, which creates signature pieces and decorative decals, and will soon publish a limited series about Passeig de Gràcia. Stay tuned!
Editorial and art direction. Passeig de Gràcia is fashionable. No-one can deny that the good weather that has finally arrived is synonymous with strolls, toning up for the summer, miniskirts, shorts, terraces… Our street turned into a first-class catwalk.
