Fake Avatar is a blog founded by Martin Cannas (Runner) and Alberto Elia Violante (Nyx), two Milan/Italy based media designers, in 2014.
The academic purpose, in which the blog was born, is to promote designers by showcasing their work and adding links to the creators to enable further deepening/support.
By the way, here’s a different story.
The house of a wise man, lost in a collective primitivism, had no furniture, only the essentials for survival. There was no library, but one book resting on the floor, in the center of the room. How could a man of such knowledge, draw it from a single opus? None of the guests of the house had never dared to touch it, nor open, but if some fearless mind had given way to a fit of curiosity, he would find as answer only wonder and admiration, uncontrollable emotion, in the view of the immense fullness of completely blank pages.
So, be the guest who goes on to approach the book. This is Fake Avatar, a collection of premises, primarily visual, of the real content of that pages and the awareness of them. Or, most probably, it’s just a design blog. As you like it.
