Brian J. Bonislawsky
Machine Wash Filter Developer
After earning his BFA degree from Rhode Island School of Design, and
before beginning his career as founder and typographer of AOETI (the
Astigmatic One Eye Typographic Institute), Brian J. Bonislawsky was an
overactive full-time & freelance designer for numerous South Florida
apparel companies.
During his tenure, he created silkscreen t-shirt designs for such
clients as: Universal, Hard Rock Cafe, SixFlags Theme Parks, Hang Ten,
Norwegian Cruise Lines, NASA, Las Vegas Properties, Major League
Baseball, & numerous major tourist attractions.
Out of the wide array of designs he was called upon to create, a large majority simply involved distressing typographic and logotype designs to achieve an
effect similar to that made popular by Abercrombie & Fitch and other
mainstream apparel companies. Although a handful of distress patterns
were available, Bonislawsky took it upon himself to expand the range of
distress treatments in order to offer more visual variety and style.
Although he only crafted approximately 24 new distress treatments total
for the various apparel companies he worked for over 4 years ago, they
still continue to be actively used, and are certain to prove useful for
years to come.
While his former employers worked with high resolution bitmap textures, it is through the Machine Wash series that Bonislawsky takes the distress treatments one step further, not only creating them for public consumption, but also creating them as greyscale textures, on a much larger scale, and much higher detailed quality.
Developed in this manner, the Machine Wash treatments lend themselves to much more than just silkscreen apparel designs, but everything from desktop to corporate design.
