In our blog, we tell stories about what we’re up to at the studio, our clients and the projects we are involved in.
Here you can find complete case studies, photo reports or simply accounts of the beautiful things made by the creatives we work with.
“O Corpo Arqueométrico como Projeto Artístico: A Condição Votiva da Prática Duracional” editorial design
Over three intense weeks, we designed a 600-page thesis by artist Grécia Paola. Translating the ideas of measurement, time, repetition, movement, and finitude into a visual language, we developed a flexible grid, a technical typographic system, and a series of graphic markers that guide the reader through the research and artistic practice.
Our aim was to create a structure to a complex body of work while allowing the artist’s images, writing, and ideas to unfold throughout the book.

How we made the ONEX. identity
Recently we finished the branding and graphic design strategy for a leading Portuguese catering solutions provider.
The challenge with ONEX (Onexperience Group) entailed simplifying how the brand is presented in different markets and developing a new identity and shared visual system for the seven companies composing the conglomerate.
We developed a comprehensive visual system to organize the brand presence in different media. The strategy was to put forward a strong presence, combining typographic elements with an expansible set of symbols and colours representing each of the present and future business areas.
Editorial strategy for NEVOAZUL magazine
This project was short, lasting one month—a mentorship structured around three chapters. The first was dedicated to the magazine readers, the second to the editorial strategy and the third to the business model and the possible ways to professionalize the team editorial and content creation experience.
Future Boy Bernardino
Something is intriguing about João Bernardino's feed. If we skip through images, all of his references make themselves visible - something that the photographer admits. The object is almost every time industrial, and the picture is at an uneasy scale. The infrastructure dominates the aesthetics. Although at almost every stage of João's work, there's the presence of either a worker, the labour or object from that activity, even when the first is (apparently) absent.
