3D case design for an electronic device prototype named Arriurdin, developed by Aaron Busca for AA&NN.

●WEB DESIGN● FROZEEN alpha



FROZEEN.COM web concept and design. Developed by Aaron Busca.
I was looking for a way to publish my comics on the Internet. I didn't like social media platforms too much and I couldn't find a proper blog template to do what I had in mind. I wanted to show my comics in multiple languages and read them on displays of any size from small to big. Then, my brother was able to majestically develop this idea that was spinning in my head: A platform for publishers and artist to publish their comics. For the time being, I use this alpha version to share Ian Nose's my comics and a side project Laino Mehe. Hopefully one day we will be able to launch it so that anybody can make a good use of it!

●WEB DESIGN● ChronOtomo: Otomo Katsuhiro Chronology



ChronOtomo project and web, concept and design. HTML and CSS tinkering by Aaron Busca.
This project started just a year ago with ChronOtomo: Katsuhiro Otomo Chronology facebook page.   During this time, we have realized that this platform wasn't the most appropriate for this kind of project. Today we launched the website version. For the past year we have been collecting and publishing as much information about Katsuhiro Otomo's works as we could, and despite we are still a long way from completion, we've already published more than 500 posts and 700 images. All this material is now collected in ChronOtomo: Katsuhiro Otomo Chronology in a more convenient way, making use of links and tags so that the exploration of the many books and illustrations is much more pleasing.

ABOUT

Katsuhiro Otomo (大友克洋) tribute page that highlights his works and publications chronologically. Born on April 14, 1954 in Miyagi, Japan, Katsuhiro Otomo made his debut as a manga artist in 1973 with Jūsei and for over almost half a century to this day, he has created thousands of manga pages, illustrated essays, and illustrations.

●WEB DESIGN● AA&NN chronoBLOG



ChronoBLOG design and content creation. Html and CSS tinkering by Aaron Busca.
This blog is basically an on-line manifestation of the way I have been organizing my works and references for a long time in my analog and digital life. I started to visualize this project in a more clear way after the end of year 2007 when I founded AA&NN with my brother during the WEST OF THE MOON / EAST OF THE SUN project in Madrid Architecture School.

OPENING DAY POST

We are a little bit obsessed with having all kind of media organized and classified in AA&NN. The videos, books and the articles we consume everyday are a great source for inspiration and motivation in our projects, and for a long time we have been building a personal archive of everything we find interesting, in our personal hard drives.

Today we have decided to start blogging this kind of stuff instead of keeping it just for ourselves. At the same time, we thought it would be great to start building in parallel, a chronology of events that took place in our lives as well as projects we are working on. This way we would have a a broader view of where we come from and where we are going. In short; we will be blogging both, current and past date events and new and old projects and events.

We want this ChronoBLOG to be our ultimate archive where we would like to have everything we like in the Internet, accessible from anywhere, in an easy and a convenient way and shared it with everyone. Our hope is that many people can find inspiration with the stuff collected in here.

●WEB DESIGN● LainoMehe




LainoMehe web concept and design as well as translation of content. Html & CSS tinkering by Aaron Busca. 
Launched in March 2011, this project went from various stages of design until the launch of its Frozeen page in August 2014. We conveniently accommodated there the translated comic works and we have continued using LainoMehe's website and its facebook page for more text centric entries and also, to post, link and share every time we translate to Basque and publish a new comic. A thing that happens less often than we would like.
WHAT IS LAINO MEHE?

How would the characters in our favorite comics talk if they spoke in Basque? LainoMehe was born in response to that question. If not to fight back the scarcity of comics in the Basque publishing scene, then to translate some chapters of our favorite authors and share them with basque readers.

We took the first steps in March 2011, adapting the basque version of Dragon Ball animation series that was broadcasted in the Basque TV to the original manga work. When we saw that they fit, we transcribed the first five chapters and posted them on a web we called: laino.me (light cloud). Although they were very successful in our circle of friends, it didn't seem good to us to keep on translating copyrighted content and even though we tried to find different ways of doing it correctly, we haven't found away to do it properly yet.

In November 2014, we refreshed our name and logo and went from laino.me to LainoMehe. We also got established in Frozeen comic publishing platform. First of all, we want to apologize to the authors and owners of the copyrights of the comics if this initiative seems wrong to them. The idea was to take a few works from each author, to have a sample of how they would look in basque, while we continue dreaming with a utopian Basque comic publishing scene. If this doesn't seem right to you, please get in touch with us and accept our apologies for the inconveniences.

Without further ado, if you don't want to miss the comics that we'll be translating from time to time, subscribe via email to this blog and follow us on facebook

●LOGO DESIGN● MUKIDE



Logo designed hand to hand with Aaron Busca for a competition organized by the Mondragon Universitys ex-alumny association. The logo was awarded the first price and is in used by the association ever since.
MuKide, the name of the association, means in basque 'Mondragon Universtity Friend' so the logo is a variation of the actual Mondragon University MU logo, and represents a hug, as if two good friends embrace each other with arms.

●CONCEPT DESIGN● LEAVENING BOX




210×147×30 mm (Folded: 460×340 mm )
Photo and Digital image
Ink jet on cardboard




Box created as a final presentation in Madrid Architecture School. The box collected the A5 size cards with the multiple ideas and project approaches that were generated during the semester.  
The idea behind this augmented  version of the original ROYAL baking powder box is to create a metaphorical image of each card being a dose of leavening that can make something else grow or can grow by itself in something more than just an idea, thu becoming a real project. To transform those projects in reality we created a company and we name it AA&NN.

●LOGO DESIGN● AA&NN COMING SOON



Logo designed for the newly created company AA&NN, founded by brothers Aaron & Ioannes Busca
While we came up with something better we used a provisional design taken from ROYAL, a well know baking powder brand. We found it was inspiring thinking that this new company would be the leavening needed to make any idea grow into real projects. The logo was designed from the very beginning to be a temporary one and was used just for the first months of the company.
