Invitation: A Wedding

Academic project which instigated me to work with a kind of job that until the time I haven’t had the opportunity to develop.

Although it was academic, I decided to trace my project based on a known couple of mine, so I could have the experience as close to a “real” one as possible.

I asked those friends about things they loved, and developed the concept of this w e d d i n g i nv i t at i o n g u i d e d b y t h e s e p e r s o n a l aspects of them.

To balance the usage of watercolors and ornaments based on Art Nouveau, I decided to do it as clean as possible, investing in a large amount of clear space between the information given.

Invitation: A Wedding

Album: Lungs

The idea of this academic project was to create a new edition of a music album chosen by the student.

After studying the album’s concept and how I felt whenever I got in contact to it, as well as how the artist felt during its creation, I felt something very organic and bruised about it and decided to translated throughout the color red.

Because of it, the name and illustrations in red over red paper bring the idea of guts under the flesh, meanwhile the inside information of the album present the songs in a clearer way.

Sketchbook: The Trial Book

A personal project created as a gift to a il-lustrator friend. I chose to work on every aspect of the production, since the devel-opment of the pattern and title up to the assemblage and binding.

I defined as my concept the idea that this sketchbook would protect my friend’s doodles, ideas and emotions drawn on the paper and, for that reason, the pattern de-veloped is composed by shells.

Book: O Gráfico Amador

Still on the first edition of the book O Gráfico Amador, this academic project was suggested by a teacher who wanted us to design a new edition that presented the work of this group in a broader way then the original edition did.

As O Gráfico Amador was a group of men responsible for the first experiments in printing in Brazil, I decided to make the images from their work the center of my editorial project, unlike the original book, which was composed almost totally by the text.

Poster: God Help the Girl

Academic project that consisted in redesign-ing the poster from a movie presented in the Fest ival do Rio 2014.

For this project I chose the movie God Help the Girl and, analising the narrative and the protagonist’s strongests characteristics, I created some chaotic illustrations to represent her mind and the parallels be-tween what she likes and her capacity of auto sabotage.

Work In Progress: dulce. Typeface

dulce. is a project that I started at my university and now I’m bringing to a fuller conclusion.

The dulce. typeface is inspired by candys and sweets (dulce is trans-lation to sweet in Spanish), and as such, it has aquired a “soft” body.

Up to now, dulce. only has its alfabetical characters totally developed.

dulce. typeface was created over a geometric, round form,

from which a organic design was developed emphasising the aesthetics of candys and sweets.

two circles build the main form of the typeface

finishing with rounded tip, linking curves and straight lines

added to the circles, a straight line is also part of the main structure

thin cross bar, with a slightly rounded finishing

ascenders and descenders end with a slightly

curved tip
