Be Water My Friend — B.W.M.F. presents the graphic journey and creative methodology by Rafael Bernardo, a designer and creative activist. The book outlines an analytic system that elaborates on how water behaves, how creativity works. A tool to connect the way we think with the way we feel by examining how we shape and navigate our processes, projects, and routines.
Inspired by an interview with Bruce Lee, where he refers to an aspect of Taoist philosophy, that water can teach us “the way,” the graphic designer, creative activist, lecturer, author, and founder of the eponymous studio for branding communication Rafael Bernardo started to wonder whether he “was water” in his creative workflow. Now, five years later, he wrote and designed a book with 224 pages, which is divided 50/50 into the parts Roots and Wings.
