Casa Finisterra by Steven Harris Architects
Casa Finisterra in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico was designed by Steven Harris Architects. The house mixes relaxation and modern very well, not to mention how gracefully it sits into the hillside above the water. In a way the flat slab structure of the roof reminds me of the mid-century Kaufmann Desert House in Palm Springs.

Rivero González
Designed by Anagrama | Country: Mexico
“According to archeological evidence, the human race has been drinking wine for over 8,000 years. However, never before has there been such diversity in origin denomination, quality and prices.
Throughout the years, there has been a tendency of taking products originally treated to remain longer such as cheese, cured meats and even salt, and take them to the same level of sophistication of a perfume or a high couture garment. For wine, this tendency is stronger than for any other beverage; We can find three dollar wines in a cardboard box, or a $160,000 bottle of Château Laffite.”
“The market’s top section is very small, and the demand is under supply. For these wine producers it is fairly simple, but for the vast majority of the younger wine houses the situation is much more complex.
Our solution was to use Rivero González’ family coat of arms as the brand’s identity. We developed a modern version that would convey elegance without pretending to seem like an ancient wine house.”
“In contrast with this modern and simple visual language, we played around with textures that denote the wine’s craftsmanship. These details can be appreciated in the packaging: silver foil, textured paper, and melted sealing wax on the cap.
Rivero González is a brand that represents this new wine cellar but also heightens the most traditional wine producing processes.”

Axioma
Designed by Anagrama | Country: Mexico
“Axioma is a new company specialized in skin care products for which we had to create a corporate identity that would reflect the company’s philosophy: Offer the highest quality products made with authentic active substances.
Based on the fact that the effectiveness of each of the products is clinically proven, we chose honesty as the brand’s leading value, therefore, we decided to use the name Axioma, which means “irrefutable truth”.
We developed a clean visual language that would represent the products’ honesty and its clinical purpose. However, the typographic selection was carefully handled so that it would evoke the high-end fashion industry.”

Catalina Fernandez
Designed by Anagrama | Country: Mexico
“Catalina Fernandez is your typical home based bakery that started in 1988 and eventually became a successful pastry shop.
Along with the shops growth, came the need to open more branches and to penetrate new generations of potential clients.
When the client approached us, she told us her desire of upgrading the brand to a much more sophisticated style. Based on these requirement we developed a very elegant identity, with a sans serif typeface to keep the brand neutral and give it a chance to evolve in the long run, with new designs for their packaging and other printed pieces.
The various boxes and bags were decorated with details in golden foil that, not unlike Catalina’s pastries were, took many hours of attention to detail.”

Bricos
Designed by Anagrama | Country: Mexico
“Bricos, originally known as Mayoreo Eléctrico Monterrey, had a very clear goal: to stop being your typical hardware shop and become a construction material supplier that could be perceived with much more formality upon the arrival of international competitors.
In order to develop the Branding Strategy, we thoroughly researched the project commercial aspects, and we executed a deep brand diagnostic. This resulted in a solution that helps the company heighten their values such as service, honesty, responsibility, experience and kindness, all of which have been key to the company’s success throughout the years.
On the other hand, the company needed to attract qualified personnel and make these employees feel proud of working for Bricos giving them a sense of belonging.
The project’s design decisions included creating a timeless brand with a completely different icon from any of its competitors. We used a very clean typographic language and an institutional pattern that can be easily applied to any object.
These elements turn Bricos into a brand ready to compete internationally.”

Mapping the drug wars in Mexico
Diego Valle-Jones maps homicides and trafficking routes in Mexico.
To unclutter the map and following the lead of the paper Trafficking Networks and the Mexican Drug War by Melissa Dell, I decided to only show the optimal highways (according to my own data and Google Directions) to reach the US border ports from the municipalities with the highest drug plant eradication between 1994 and 2003 and the highest 2d density estimate of drug labs based on newspaper reports of seizures. The map is a work in progress and is still missing the cocaine routes, but hopefully I'll be able to add them shortly.
There's lots to look at and interact with here. To start, there are bubbles that cluster homicides by region and major highway routes in black.
Click on any bubble and you get a time series for the corresponding area, going back to 2004. Or if you like, draw your own polygon to see the time series for specific regions. Pointers on the time series highlight significant events. There's also a slider that lets you see numbers on the map for different years. A layer underneath the bubbles lets you see high density areas for marijuana, opium, and drug labs.
Take a look at the full map for yourself. This is nice work by Valle-Jones.

“This project consisted of designing an identity and packaging for a bakery specializing in gourmet brownies. The business model is oriented towards selling brownies mainly as a gift and/or for special ocasions.

Auténtico Mezcal Alacrán
Designed by Sociedad Anonima | Country: Mexico
“They say that when you see a scorpion, another is surely nearby, for they always travel in pairs. Such is the case of Tequila Alacrán’s soulmate: Authentic Mezcal Alacrán.
Hand made in Oaxaca, Mexico, this pure, white spirit mixes the ancient rituals and production methods with contemporary culture.
This contradiction is, in essence, the product’s personality. Mezcal Alacrán is encased in a glass bottle with a matte white Soft-Touch coating.”

CIELITO ®
Designed by Cadena+Asoc. Branding | Country: Mexico
CIELITO ® it is a Latin American reinvention of the coffeehouse experience. A place that surprises, comforts and engages all senses through its space, aroma, taste, color, and histories.
CIELITO ® draws its inspiration from Mexican history: the games, the joyful colors, the language of symbolism, and the illustrated graphics of the late 19th to early 20th century. The Latin American sign maker’s trade, along with the product labels (posters) of the old grocery and general stores, generate a graphic language belonging to a culture that is rich in history, but which is always open to reinvention and to re-positioning itself in the market in a poetic, nostalgic, joyful, dynamic and vastly different way.
With more than 15 locations in Mexico City CIELITO ® rescues the aesthetic value of Latin American folk culture, and reinvents it in a neo-retro style that fuses graphics from colonial times, both Spanish and French, which are evident in its fine use of typography, with modern and 50’s Latin American media like that from the large department stores, whose marketing was also imported from the old continent and the united states, and the contrasting colloquial language of the popular street markets and tiny convenience stores, or “tienditas”.
All of these elements are subtly integrated, creating a very Latin contemporary product with universal appeal.
The concept opens up the possibility of communicating with a broader audience, as it is transformed into a timeless product, which is nurtured by its past but also continually presents itself in new, fresh and attractive ways.”
