Amazing Futures
The "Law of Accelerated Returns" (Ray Kurzweil, 2001) says that technological change is exponential (unlike the 'intuitive linear' view of common sense). Consequently, the future has almost always been imagined wrong. All these misguided predictions, however, have brought great ideas and a rich imaginary in the fields of thought, cinema, literature or music. All these contradictions are the plot and conceptual axis of the Amazing Futures essay.

To translate all this graphically, a design is created that subtly pursues the misunderstanding and error from a completely classical graphic base (page in golden section, justified texts, classic and easy-to-read serif typefaces ...) that is constantly broken. All this is consolidated on the cover where no element appears located where it should be so at first sight, an inconvenient for the reader, as with the uncertain future.

Pool
POOL talks about time and its value. In a reality based on overproduction and overdesign, where we usually inform ourselves in a superficial way, POOL proposes cultural content in a slow and reflective way. Designed to create an editorial umbrella that allows the repositioning of Leica towards its artistic and revolutionary legacy, turning to an critical
audience of current reality.

It is build with clean and no artifice graphics that break the usual structure of title+image. In POOL, the reader decides the way he wants to read. The platform shows the information by layers that expand its content according to the user's interest. In short, the platform is presented as an almost invisible entity between the desired information and the user's interest.

IRL
A branded online platform for PuzzlePhone, a modular phone company that claims the value of things against the disposable culture. Defying values’ and human relationships’ durability in the digital and technological era. Focused on attracting generation Z, known for a bigger social and environmental awareness and future prospect. Taking a chance on the coexistence of human morality and technology.

Posters for agitation
The poster as a communication tool. The graphic designer with critical thinking, looking for problems, at the service of society, satirical, provocative and that makes us think about how the world could be. The posterist as a mass agitator. The poster artist in search of graphic excellence. In this workshop we worked on the positioning of the future designer and his social role as a message issuer.

We worked from the word towards the graphic expression of the idea using, exploring and experimenting with the resources of graphic design to project a message in the public space.
