about
—
This was a personal project developed with Nathalie Shores and Renato Freddi under the label of Mercúrio Collective. Four short stories (The Gun, Beyond Lies The Wub, The Defenders and Second Variety) from the science fiction author Philip K. Dick were edited and presented for the first time at the 3rd edition of Feira Kraft - an important independent publishing fair in Brazil. All of the books plots depict a dystopian future as the aftermath of a nuclear war. Having that in mind, the only color used on the spread of the books is red, representing that crude and violent outcomes. The collection features a dust jacket made from newspapers’ frontpages about the cold war. All the books were hand-bounded and the titles on the dust jackets were manually stamped.

about
—
This is project cotemplates a comemmorative CD, vinyl record and poster launched to celebrate the 50th death anniversary of Nat King Cole. It is meant to appeal not only for the singer’s usual audiences, but also to draw attention from a younger audience. At first, the idea was to make a pop art inspired illustration of the artist and “dress him” using paper layering as cotemporary pop singers. This idea, however, was discarded since it might have been seem as an over-infantilized approach to the usual audience of Nat King Cole. That way, the fun and colorful approach was kept, but its illustration factor was toned down. The cover design proposition features a dynamic cut out lettering and a handdrawn crown pattern (inspired by the crown symbol used in many Nat King Cole’s cover arts).

about
—
This was an academic project where we were assigned 3 tasks/ rules: 1. Photograph all of the signs present at a assigned part of the neigbourhood (imagetic, verbal, all of them); 2. Create a poster with the title “Higienópolis Sinais Percerber” using only the previous images and tipography. No digital effects were alowed, only collage. Besides the photos, the poster could contain only two colors: yellow and red (separeted or together). That way, the poster created attempted to replicate the visual caos found in the signals documented, intercalating the images taken with each other.

about
—
This is my undergraduate final project and it is still on the final stages of the creative process. It consists of an illustrated book about the angolan myth Kianda. It is aimed to the independent publishing market. This particular myth was chosen because angolan culture plays a key role on the brazilian identity, even though it is very underestimated. Thus, this project aims to disseminate and value the Angolan culture. The closed format of the book is 300 mm x 165 mm.

personal statement
—
From an early age I have shown great interest in arts and communication. As far as I remember, I was the one designated as responsible for the visual aspects of the school group assignments - I took care of the printmaking, the presentation and the posters. The funny thing, however, is that I always thought pursue a career in journalism. This idea prevailed until my last year of high school. Despite my innate aptitude for visual thinking (at this point I had even amateurally produced visual products for colleagues, such as pamphlets and websites), I hardly knew what graphic design really was. As I researched the career that I wanted to pursue, I realized that journalism might not be the right path. I even considered advertising, but although the creative aspect of it pleased me, I thought that it didn’t quite fit my beliefs. Eventually, my research led me to graphic design and I couldn’t be more pleased with my choice. I have a special affection for handiwork (printmaking, binding and the overall finishing processes) and I believe that design should not only replicate the status quo and preconceived concepts, but instead harness its educational potential and public contact to contribute to the evolution of its surroundings. At the moment I am working on my final undergraduate project at FAAP (the course will end in December 2017). Although I am not an illustrator, I decided to make an illustrated book. I already had some amateur knowledge of the area, but it was very superficial. Since this would be the longest project I’ve ever done, I decided to take advantage of this moment to challenge myself and develop a new skill. The book is about an Angolan myth. I specifically chose this story because Angola plays a crucial role in Brazilian cultural formation and is often very undervalued and poorly understood in Brazil. In the professional field, as I am still a student I only had freelance and internship experiences. The first place I had the pleasure of being an intern was in a local print shop. There I learned a lot about printmaking and handicraft in general, further awakening my interest in this field. My second internship was in the Rosset Group, the largest textile company in Latin America. In this, I was responsible for most of the graphic materials of the 5 beachwear brands of the group, from newsletters to motion graphics. I have always considered it very important to keep personal projects in parallel with the professional experiences mentioned above. I lectured a screen printing workshop at the Itápolis Art Week and more recently I participated in an independent publishing fair, Feira Kraft, presenting some personal projects alongside the arts and design collective that I am part of, Mercúrio.
