Portfolio 2013 presenting some of my personal, academic and professional works from 2009 to 2013. Be welcome and enjoy the flight!
Editorial
Editorial project for the novel “Blindness” from José Saramago. Concept based on the “white blindness” the story describes. The typhographic aspects envolve the tactile perception in a unique way, making the reader wonder how suddenly getting blind might feel. Dashes of red make the opening pages so the chapters, which have no title, can be noticed in the same level of shocking state the all white book brings.
Academic project
Editorial
Editorial project and posters for CCBB (Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil, RJ) exhibition “O Mundo Mágico de Escher”, based on M. C. Escher works. The layout choises were made after going to the exhibition itself. His works had such an strong tridimensional appeal that all layout was based on reconstructing his universe and its density. The posters have an experimental pop up collage and would be considered as special publicity piece.
Academic project
Illustration Editorial
Layout and illustrations for a small colelction about portuguese classic “cordel� from Gil Vicente and its tribute from Carlos Drummond de Andrade poetry works. The cordelist tradition comes from small and popular publications, usually poetry and short novels, reenforced here by typewriting like typography and woodprint like illustrations. All adapted for digital print format. The booklets are binded together by a string that make the reader comfortable to start from any of them and, if needed, they also work separately.
Academic project
Typography
Experimental project for Typography, working on type concept as theoretical basis and photography as grid and graphic elements guide. So this is Jodi, display typeface.
Academic project

Photography Animation
Stills from an animation based on the short story from Jorge Luis Borges “The two kings and the two labyrinths�. Compounding photographic textures, digital illustration, origami and virtual 3D space, the animation creates the illusion of a desert and brings a visual and poetic version for the story.

Academic project
Movimento
Profundidade & Intervalo
No acaso mora a chance Aos que esqueceram do real Agora que tudo é meio Não vê-se através E sim, sobre
Em nero suspenso Insiste em pulso Algum tempo passa Indistinguível Inspiro azul
No movimento mora a sorte Dos que se perdem Estar a caminho E inalcançável
Retorno Sem saber Onde estar
Videography Poetics
Stills from the video presented as studies made with the Photopoetics Research Group. Starting out of the idea of time and space distortion, using video and photography as a subjective medium of reading, the project was developed in three parts of interest, exploring visual and sound senses of what we see in everyday life in the city.
Reflexo & Construção Ponto, vista, Em cada plano Distorce-se a cidade Multiplicada Múltipla E limitada
I. Movement II. Depth & Interlude II. Reflex & Construction The video also yielded three poetry pieces to go along with each chapter. (in Portuguese) Video can be seen here http://vimeo.com/62761079

Aline Mielli Design graduate student at Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), currently attending to the 4th year of Ba graduation. I`ve arrived by the sea of Guanabara Bay from my small hometown adventures, looking for a plot twist for those poetic sights that simply couldn’t leave me. Graphic design made my shell wider, letting my fields of interest dialog; And feels like I am growing fast. Often this implies a need for change, work in a different field, find a new experience or project to rethink about this sea of fortune and hermit ways of problem solving.
