Who Be He?
They call him Phillip Retuta. He calls himself a visual & interactive designer, motion graphics artist, and illustrator -- an all-around artist. He's 29 years old, from Chicago, living in NYC, and has a lovely husky-lab mix named Nico. Currently employed as Senior Designer at a digital and social media firm.
What's All This Then?
Well, it's a fairly random tumblog of current and upcoming art endevours, photographs, comic sketches, creative philosophies, inspirations, and generally incomplete art projects.
So yeah, it's like a sketchbook.

Burning Text Into Your Polaroid (The Impossible Project Stock Film).
I ran into this cool tutorial on their blog. Needless to say, it works: just cut out some stencils into a completely opaque, paper-thin material, and as soon as the picture pops out of your Polaroid camera, immediately tape the edges of the stencil to the picture (this way, no light can enter around the corners) and develop it under a bright light.
It works best if 1) your camera’s exposure setting is dark, and 2) your subject is wearing dark clothing.

Finalized package design for my Hindsight/Foresight project. Both the disposable camera casing and the box it comes with is made of recycled, natural cardstock. The overall typography was handwritten by me, scanned, and placed on templates that I carefully measured, cut out, and wrapped.
The project description (a one page, 8.5”x11” letter) is folded into a square and tucked into an envelope that I attached to the main box.
Each camera is assigned a name, based off the military alphabet.
The copy “Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it” is a quote from Confucius and pretty much entails what the Hindsight/Foresight photography project is about.
For a closer look at the construction of the disposable camera cover, click here to an older post.
Although it’s barebones, check out the site I set up at HindsightForesight.com
