I have a great love for Risography, a beautiful Japanese printing technique halfway between silkscreen printing and photocopying. On spec, I have designed a new series of Georges Perec editions for Vintage Classics. I Risographed my designs in vibrant neon inks. My ideas stemmed from the contents of the books – ‘A Void’ is written entirely without the letter ‘e’, which features at the very centre of my vortex design.

Frankenstein Itself is a typographical reinterpretation of the wide-known literature. Taking a thorough and extreme method, the book was designed from scratch. Structured from an odd typeface where the letters are displaced, mixed and reorientated, the book approached itself with a content-wise self-awareness.

Fin Desierto (Desert End) takes the shape of an accordion, so that every reader may begin where they choose. But, when fully opened, it takes on a representational form, suggesting that of the endless desert. Inspired by Mario Montalbetti’s poetry, it is a book in which, somehow, content dictates form. I designed it while working in Studioa in 1995, and I like to think that it has stood the test of time.

In the design of a book about Antoni Pinent’s iSBiC experimental film project, the focus was on conveying the essence of celluloid revelation through paper and graphic design. By selecting a fine paper and using double-sided printing, a typographic effect was created that visually resembled analog processes.

The Joseph Binder Award is an international competition for graphic design and illustration. It is named after one of Austria’s most outstanding graphic designers.

Joseph Binder once said, “The process of creation is unknown, we wish to find out.” Bringing this process to the forefront, we highlighted three aspects well known to all designers: CURIOSITY, FOCUS and FAME.

Based on his iconic poster designs and special use of color, form, and perspective, we take these three aspects of the creative process and place them at the center of our design for the Joseph Binder Award 2022.

A publication that incorporates a collection of missprints occured through the process of producing A3 risograph prints and experimenting with the technique. It acts as an alternative specimen for Risograph printing as it a. showcases a wide range of colours and papers b. highlights the possibilites of overlapping two or more colours (risograph ink is transparent) c. uses examples of how riso translates data from vector graphics, real objects, textures or photographs and last d. embraces mistakes and imperfections.

Risograph Experiments Vol.01, 308 Pages (200 Colored), 13 Colors, Various Papers, Thread Stitching, Width (146mm), Length (204mm), One (1) Copy, Self Published, 2020-2021.

Resemblances are images that resemble similar images of a similar thing or similar image, collected in cologne and in the world. The riso-printing of metallic-silver on finest italian black paper makes each image appear ever changing. Thus every single view of R E S E M B L A N C E S is nothing more than similar to the previous one.

At The Other Collection we have developed a unique and innovative technique combining the advances of modern typography with the quality and artisanship of centuries-old knowledge of book printing. Letterpress printing from metal type looks back onto five hundred years of history but has become impractical today. At TOC, we design digital layouts, then transfer the data to polymer printing plates, using our own lasersetter. Printing those plates on traditional letterpress machines combines the virtues of analog and digital processes, resulting in the best of both worlds: refined typography and a smooth analog reading experience.

The DAE Graduation Catalogue 2021 is a guide to navigate graduation projects by themes, keywords, materials, and methodologies. Divided into four indexes, it offers references for potential connections between the projects.
A fluent layout allows to showcase each graduation project in the best possible way, keeping a main structure of a catalogue. It is an invitation to discover the innovative ideas, techniques, and visions of the next generation of designers.
Selected as one of the Best Dutch Book Designs 2021 in the student category.

»Ceasefire« is a typographic interpretation of B.J. Novak’s short story about a naïve woman who goes on a blind date with a man who reveals himself to be a warlord.
It was visualized in the form of a four-course-meal menu card that shows the dialog as it would be written in a drama. The typical verse numbers are depicted as prices for different dishes, while emotions look like allergy information.
Each course is introduced by an opening page picturing its most important passage. His statement »I am a warlord« is portrayed by quotation marks resembling tracks of a tank.

Processo de criação em design gráfico: Pandemonium is the book by Leopoldo Leal, result of his Ph.D. dissertation presented in 2019, which focused on understanding the graphic design creative process in which chance and experimentation are inserted.
It was based on the eight phases of the creative process described by Robert Keith Sawyer. These phases constitute the structure of the project and provide clarity and understanding of the entire creative process, which does not occur in a linear standard. It is as if the practical items of an experimental work in design originate from any material such as punch cards, craft sticks or a collection of bar codes.

Daily experimental work created in the first week of 2023.
