Interview with graphic designer Riccardo Sabatini

Hello my dear reader,
today it’s all about graphic designer Riccardo Sabatini.
I’m not going to say much more about his creations;
just click, read, see and listen (almost every design has a piece of music included)

SO PUT THOSE SPEAKERS ON MAX. AND CLICK ON THE IMAGE TO SEE THE PROCESS OF CREATING!

Q – Tell us a little bit about yourself?
A – Hi, I’m from Italy, now I’m based in Florence but originally I come from a small town in the province, Pescia. My educational background is messy, I started to seriously study/work/apply into what I do right now, very late. At 26, more or less. A lot of professionals in my field at that age are already in the market and academically (or self)prepared since years. I’ve just taken a bit more time to decide what to do in my life (this involves a lot of different jobs and experiences, and the list is too long to write). About the interests, they are many. My work itself and the others work, book, comics, movies, music, go walking, travel, go to exhibitions, hiking, just slack off on the couch, cooking, getting fat & lazy etc.

Q – I see you are very into working with a pattern. How do you create them?
A – Patterns are schematic. If I have to work with on a design project that involves the use of surfaces (if it’s the back of a business card or a wall,…) the path is simple. Take an elements or more than one, combine them in the right way (ways, too) apply.

Q – What do you do when you have no inspiration at all, but you must finish a task?
A – Hard question. Inspiration is about start a work, not doing it. If it’s a personal work, I don’t start any if I don’t have in mind the concept to carry on. I don’t need to know how it is going to be at the end, the best things come out through “freestyle” processes during the making. But, however, everything starts with a concept. If you don’t have inspiration, probably you don’t have either the concept. And if it’s a job often it’s not you that gives a concept, but there is already a direction to follow. And it’s easier.

Q – Why do you use music on every design you show on your website?
A – Music makes looking into images more enjoyable. And if you combine the right music with the right images is even better. You can create a mood. For the second question, usually I choose the soundtrack after the making. During it, I listen to music, but randomly. The choice of the song is quite annoying. You try track after track (even just 10 seconds) and when it arrives the right one, you hear it.

Q – Which of your works do you like the most? Can you tell about it?
A – I don’t have favourites, each new project is a different story. The making is often shown off in its presentation.

Q – Who are your idols in the world of graphic art? Who do you look up to?
A – I’ve discovered so many artists and professionals in this field and nearby from the past and the present that the range of people that could have influenced me to follow their examples is too large. Now my inspiration board it’s like a huge mosaic, it’s not the single piece but the composition of them all and the will by to take part of it. Second question, easy, I look to have a recognizable name.

Thank you Riccardo for this interview!
