Creative Boom’s feature by Tom May explores photographer Xavier Nuez’s 25-year project 'Alleys & Ruins', a series of light-painted photographs of derelict American spaces. Using long exposures and coloured lights, Nuez transforms abandoned sites into theatrical compositions while processing his own trauma through the act of creation. The forthcoming book, published by Gypsy Press, is both a visual and psychological exploration of beauty emerging from decay.
Seattle-based studio Parker developed a refined and minimalist brand identity for global crypto investment brand Prismatic. The design emphasizes clarity and trust through a muted color palette, custom typography, and a prismatic distortion motif. Creative Director Tyler Eide led the project, with 3D work by Sebastian Camens.
