Inspired by an interview with Bruce Lee, where he refers to an aspect of Taoist philosophy, that water can teach us “the way,” graphic designer Rafael Bernardo started to wonder whether he “was water” in his creative workflow. Now, five years later, he wrote and designed a book divided into two parts: Roots and Wings. Wings presents his graphic journey: eleven of Bernardo’s favorite personal projects and collaborative works for example with Viva con Agua, the Forward Festival, or the porcelain factory Rosenthal. Included is a selection of 80 Be Water My Friend posters, created to practice and explore his visual voice. Part two, Roots, outlines the theoretic foundation of Rafael Bernardo’s experience. The introduction of the Be Water My Friend methodology. It describes the progress of development as a clockwork, divided into three levels. Context in the outside, motivation in the center, and process as the connecting part in-between.
