Second Skin: Reinventing Yourself Through Collage

GUILLERMO FLORES PACHECO
Art Director, Illustrator & Graphic Designer
ORBEH STUDIO

GUILLERMO FLORES PACHECO Mexican designer and illustrator, Art Director at ORBEH Studio (Guadalajara, Mexico), with 20+ years experience. Created Photoshop 2025 splash screen and worked with brands including Adidas, Converse, Google, Microsoft, Nike. Known for vibrant, experimental visual language rooted in Mexican heritage.

Workshop

This workshop offers space for creative exploration where analog and digital collage come together as single language. Starting with shared base image, each participant develops own interpretation using manual and digital techniques, finally integrating results into collective animation in GIF format.

Experience invites return to tools we learned to create with: cutters, scissors, paper, paint, colored pencils. Through manual work, we reflect on value of gesture, error, and texture, reconnecting with physical process as creative starting point. Far from separating analog from digital, workshop explores how both worlds complement each other naturally. Hand-created pieces will be digitized and integrated into software, combined with new technologies to build contemporary, sensitive, experimental workflow. Final result: collective animation bringing multiple perspectives into dialogue, demonstrating how same image transforms into infinite visual narratives when working from diversity of processes and sensibilities.

SATURDAY 9th MAY: 10AM - 1PM
Duration: 3 hours, Language: English
