key points on my projectual process
Enfhasis of the concept/thought, of originality as a "weapon" against the conventional and the "clich�©".
Exploration and utilization of the drawing as a tool of synthesis and simplification of information.
Defense of the formal and conceptual coherence as one of the fundamental principles of coporative branding.
Racionalism vs "unjustified effects" (just to produce a "cool image")
Form equals to function.
Less is more.
range of work
Identity/corporate branding, graphic/communication design, logos, billboards, flyers, posters, editorial design, events/trade fair identity and all applications, (during my work in Dimatur I've made some trade fair stands for the company, "only" the study of the space and the images to put on it. I can also define (with a web designer) the guidelines for a web site, focusing on the graphic design and the use of it.
