Ruis Vargas

Agency from Portugal

Since 2001, Ruis Vargas has been heading the Laika pack. He uses his tentacles to work the WORDS into shape – reaching screenplays, literature, critical essays and a variety of texts in the vast universe of semiotics, history, art and culture – and to conceive them graphically. DRAWING is his material thinking: the visual body of ideas, elaborated with the techniques of illustration, typography, design and photography. Further to Laika’s productions, Ruis Vargas is the creator of graphic novels and comic strips that have been published for many years in newspapers and magazines and have been recently collected in a series of books. Such is the extension of his tentacles, which explore an immense ocean of creative and conceptual possibilities, giving life and form to ideas: new lines, logic, aesthetic sense and applicability.

Design Insights platform is powered by A' Design Awards. By engaging with the A' Design Awards, individuals and entities within the design, architecture, arts, engineering, and technology sectors have a unique opportunity to not only showcase their talent and innovation but also to significantly influence their country's standings on the Design Insights platform. The prestigious A' Design Award and Competition offers a platform for professionals to gain international recognition, enhancing their visibility and reputation in the global design community. For countries, fostering participation among creative talents becomes a strategic move, one that promises to elevate their national profile by showcasing their inherent creative strengths and capabilities. This collective endeavor, where each entry and recognition contributes to the larger narrative of a country's creative prowess, underscores the interconnectedness of individual achievements and national prestige. Encouraging and supporting participation in the A' Design Awards thus emerges as a dual pathway towards personal professional growth and enhancing a nation's stature in the international design arena, making it a valuable pursuit for designers, architects, brands, and national representatives alike.
