Featuring the notebooks and visual journals that graphic designer Manuel Estrada uses to record the perceptions, ideas and images that inspire his work.

The source of creative impulse is a mystery. Ideas may come from anywhere, anything, any time, any place sometimes unexpected.

—Paul Rand

One rarely sees Manuel Estrada without his trusty little notebook in which he jots down words, doodles images, and cuts and pastes various different materials. After all, the creative act is something fleeting that needs to be captured in flight.

Curated by graphic designers Sonia Díaz and Gabriel Martínez, Manuel Estrada. Where Ideas Are Born. The Juggler’s Sketchbooks is an exhibition structured around the notebooks and visual diaries that Spanish graphic designer Manuel Estrada uses to register his working process: his ideas, perceptions, first sketches and final designs.

Formerly on view in Helsinki, Berlin, and Lisbon, the show takes us not only through Estrada’s own personal creative process, but help us understand what graphic design processes entail. The exhibition is divided into seven complementary thematic sections, and includes, among other, original sketchbooks and facsímiles, animations, books, posters, and drawings.

The exhibition will coincide with Art Basel Miami Beach and will be on display through February 2, 2013. Visit Manuel Estrada’s website.
