Client: Kunsthalle Lissabon
“Melting into one another ho hot chad it heating dip”, an artist book by Laure Prouvost, published by Kunsthalle Lissabon.
The spreads were divided into three parts horizontally: the top was the anchor for the images of the exhibition; the left middle part was for reference images; the right middle part for drawings of the pieces and sketches of the space; and the bottom part for the text. The images accumulate on the pages, overlapping each other.
Instead of using offset ink, the book was printed in squid ink, to relate to the exhibition space, which was flooded with it. This gave the book different tones and nuances of color throughout it.

With Carla Filipe
“(In) consciência sob um estado de amnésia – movimentos de luta e resistência na cidade do Porto séc. XX” [(Un) consciousness under a state of amnesia – movements of struggle and resistance in the city of Porto century. XX] is a mail-art publication conceived by Carla Filipe with whom I collaborated on the graphic design.
The focus is on the political and resistance events in the history of the city of Porto considered to be the most relevant in the late 19th century, early 20th century, the pre- and post-Republic, and post-Carnation Revolution periods.
This project has several collaborations, with different formats and content. Carla and I decided to work with solid colors and bold photographs, that refer to her archive, composed by many publications and political ephemera from the years immediately after the Carnation Revolution in Portugal.
We end up with a poster by Ângela Ferreira and Lola Meintjes, six photographs by André Cepeda, a poster by Carla, a flag by Felipe Mujica, three posters by Pedro Romero, a publication with contributions of André Tavares, Angel Calvo Ulloa, and Nacho París. The envelope was printed outside and inside, where it has the solution for the crosswords Carla and I designed for the publication.

Design da Cultura / Cultura do Design
2016
W/ Luís Pinto Nunes
Client: Câmara Municipal do Porto
In 2016, Luís Pinto Nunes and I were invited to curate and design the exhibition that presented all graphic work commissioned by the Cultural Sector of Porto Municipality in 2015. The exhibition took place at the building of Porto Municipality.
Most of the work present was printed matter — big format posters, leaflets and books. One of the main challenges was how to present the posters. We decided to hang them on a light structure and create a circuit, organising the posters by areas, based on a cloud scheme, placed on the bottom of each. This wood block presented the information about the project and the team that designed it.
The poster was based on the idea of circuit, and it represents each area on the exhibition.

Futuro Não Futuro
2012
Client: Faculty of Fine Arts of University of Porto
Futuro Não Futuro was the final show of the Faculty of Fine Arts of University of Porto at Palacete Pinto Leite, in Porto.
In 2013, Portugal was at the height of the economic crisis. Many young qualified people were moving out of the country in search of a better life, leaving behind unemployment and under payment.
The identity of the show was based on that. Using a pink that would ironize this situation, while using different punctuation in order to create new meanings with the title — Future No Future.
The catalogue maintained this idea, this time as a pink block.
Trampolim
2013
Client: Faculty of Fine Arts of University of Porto
Trampolim was the 2013 final show at the Faculty of Fine Arts of University of Porto.
Using the spiral staircase of the building where it took place, that is was designed by Manuel Fernandes de Sá in the 50s, that resembles a trampoline, the identity was based on the building itself.
#FOMO
2014
João Drumond and Horácio Frutuoso invited me to Y, a collective show with young artists and designers.
