Miriello Grafico

You gotta love Italian films- and even if you don’t, you gotta love good food. The San Diego Italian Film Festival for 2010 has a year-long schedule of events that combine Italian Film +Slow Food in Cinecucina. And also an Anti-Mafia + Italian Classics series. And they are still running their October Film Festivale.  Miriello Grafico designers Lauren English and Tracy Meiners just completed two of the three posters Miriello Grafico is contributing to the San Diego Film Festival 2010 event schedule, along with the complete event branding.

The poster designs are inspired by the Italian piazza tradition of wall posters being re-pasted over old editions. creating overtime, a natural and organic collage of events and images. Typical of what you find in a place that let’s thing evolve over time.

Watch for these SDIFF posters in a coffee shop near you. For an events schedule click here.

BARRIO LOGAN DESCUBIERTO is a visual celebration of the working waterfront Hispanic neighborhood in San Diego, called Barrio Logan. The 88 page book is a graphic expose of the visual richness and unique creative energy of the community, featuring details of murals, typography,  sign painters, activists art and general community visual richness.
The book is designed by the team here at MG, led by Lauren English, many who have been active in the promotion and celebration of the community and it’s passionate and active creative members. The book contains a listing our neighborhood discoveries of cool, including artists, restaurants, activists, cafes, place we as designers have discovered and wanted to turn others onto.

While many work so feverishly to be wealthy, then build a fence around the property and never come in contact with the real world, the Barrio stands for the opposite. It’s a place where people share their feelings, their color, and eccentricities. The pathway to riches very much depends on how you define the riches. – RM
