You might not know his name, but you might be in love with the unforgettable images he's created: The Tico Times sits down with Oscar-winning art director Carl Sprague during his visit to Costa Rica.
In 2009, designers Alfredo Enciso and Paco Cervilla began organizing Costa Rica's massive International Design Festival, or FID. They faced enormous challenges. Here's an inside look.
The FID and the related events it inspires have become a place to make connections, friends and soak up culture. Here are some highlights from this year's festival.
Agatha Ruiz de la Prada sat down with The Tico Times to talk about thriving in a difficult industry, happiness and fashion, and Costa Rican hairstyles.
Not just a gathering of designers, the FID is an interdisciplinary event celebrating everything from gastronomy to motion graphic design. Speakers discuss their own experiences, their origins and how their far-flung travels have inspired them to enter the world of design.
