Who Can Afford To Be Critical?
Campaign (4 fanzines, 2 videos, flyers, posters, t-shirts)
(Masters Project)
Who Can Afford To Be Critical? takes the shape of a multiformat campaign highlighting how dimensions of affordability, class and labour are neglected when considering a view of design as a powerful discipline that can be critically engaged with social and political matters. Even if design is powerful, can we say that individual designers are powerful as well?

Do Voicebanks Dream of the Doomsday Bird?

Sounds Studies: The Final Report
Identity
From September 2019 to June 2020, I took a 1-year post-graduate course in Sound Art at FBAUL. Even as COVID hit, we still managed to present our final works in what ended up being also the last collective exhibition of the programme, which was extinct the following year. I created the visual identity and communication materials for the exhibition, which took place in Zaratan, Lisbon, between June and August 2020.

Mutations For
Poster, Information design
Client: JC Leisure
Mutations For, by ambient musician JC Leisure, is an album built from the artist's collection of mixtapes from circa 1992 onwards that distil the counterculture of rave, free parties and pirate radio broadcasts. I worked closely with JC to create a poster which existed as the only physical manifestation of the album. The object translates JC’s working process into a sort of deconstructed infographic, where the cassette assumes the role of the “lifeboat”, a raft which carries the unstable history of rave counterculture onwards, mutating “instability into utopic drives.”
Listen to Mutations For.

National Conservatory Dance School

Client: EDCN
with Inês Pinheiro and Vítor Serra (as Multa)
Since 1839, the National Conservatory Dance School prepares students from ages 6 to 18 to enter the upper echelons of Ballet and Contemporary dancing on the world stage. This institution stands at an equilibrium of respect, prestige, dynamism and forward momentum. Uniting tradition and canon with innovation, growth and the constant motion of the avant-garde, we developed a new visual identity and a standards manual that was then passed on to the school’s in-house designer for implementation.

It Takes Several Minutes
For The Eyes To Ajdust To The Dark
Identity, editorial design
with Inês Pinheiro and Vítor Serra
I was one of six students selected to design the visual identity of the yearly graduate show of the Communication Design department at the Faculty of Fine-Arts of Lisbon. In 2019, the exhibition It Takes Several Minutes for the Eyes to Adjust to the Dark presented works developed throughout the final year of our bachelors, where we had the chance to meditate about the relationship between reality, fiction and design.
The visual identity was developed in collaboration with Inês Pinheiro, Vítor Serra, Ana Beatriz Gama, Nádia Alexandre and Diogo Lourenço. We then split to take on different responsibilities: the publication was designed by me, Inês and Vítor, the exhibition design was coordinated by Nádia and Ana, and the website was designed by Diogo.

Fazedores de Letras
Editorial design
with Ana Beatriz Gama, Inês Pinheiro and Vítor Serra
Fazedores de Letras, a project by AEFLUL (Student Union of the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Lisbon), is one of the oldest still in print newspapers by a student union in Portugal. Me and my colleagues Ana, Inês and Vítor were selected as we finished our studies at FBAUL to design a special comemmorative issue to mark their 26th anniversary. Beyond designing the issue, we also acted as editors, parsing through 26 years of issues and selecting texts that best represented the changes it underwent throughout its lifespan.
