Interview with Davide Cocchis

Could you please tell us more about your art and design background? What made you become an artist/designer? Have you always wanted to be a designer?
I've loved to do handmade graphic design since I was a teenager. I remeber I've made lots of duplicated MC covers because didn't have original artworks. So yes, I can say I always wanted to be a designer in some way.
What is your most favorite design, could you please tell more about it?
I like the minimal style, but also the realistic design in which credible textures and settings are reproduced in which to insert the graphic elements
What kind of emotions do you feel when you design?
Peace and excitement. But even frustration and boredom occasionally
When judging a design as good or bad, which aspects do you consider first?
Space between elements, hierarchy, color management, spaces management
From your point of view, what are the responsibilities of a designer for society and environment?
Communicate without "screaming out" and accept work from ethical clients only.
