Nachglühen is a project on architectural memories, which gathers and unites historic architectural research and the stories of our grandmothers, omas, nonnas and their homes. This riso printed publication references the passing of time through the fragility and softness of its material and the transparency of the pages. The contributions overlap and shine through, creating new visual connections.

This work explores whether the use of artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool in the arts is useful for blind people. The study looks at whether AI can help visually express blind people and whether it is possible to make the generated images perceivable by them. The research involves providing blind people with an AI that can generate images from text input and interviewing them to understand their needs. The generated images are then interpreted as sculptures that can be touched by the blind artists. The feedback from the blind artists is documented both visually and in writing.

The Catalog of Futures is a book that asks the question about future in graphic design. How does design produce futures and how can we design in terms of openness? If design is understood as a process of hierarchization and decision-making, its political dimension and impact on the body and the environment cannot be denied.
The metaphor of the catalog, as well as the plural form of the title, point to a polyphony. The book conceives a space of possibility that discusses, negotiates, and unifies many different possible futures. Therefore six different thematic areas are discussed. Each chapter also editorially interrogates the design for a particular aspect of future production.

This is a catalog of student projects from the Faculty of Architecture in Prague, led by architect Jan Šépka, in cooperation with city representatives from 8 cities in the Czech Republic. Every city is in the book design (and particularly on the book spine) represented with an unique graphical pattern, which is inspired or based on each city’s flag or traditional heraldic symbols color scheme.

This the first publication, which focuses on the work of architect Jan Šépka, is based on a detailed presentation of his selected projects and realizations on 700 pages. The title of the book Inspirace (Inspiration) is derived from the author´s process of the genesis of specific topics, which was materialized in the concept of individual architectural assignments and translated into a book design concept, where every presented project starts with an inspiration on the transparent paper in contrast with first idea sketches or final design.

Flashforward is a speculative publication on the Metaverse designed by Eleonora Capodiferro, Melania Ilari and Valerio Stancati.
A glossary that comes from the future: each letter of the alphabet explores a part of reality in an imaginary cyber-world. Objects, shapes and concepts have been pushed beyond the edge of the digital, shifting their semiotic meaning in a dystopian and irreverent interpretation. Inside you’re going to find the avatar’s language in the form of a typeface, avatar’s food, a map of the metaverse and so on. This project is conceived as an open project: the first 26 contents (from A to Z) of the encyclopedia are here, but it can be expanded over time by other designers.

A book, written and designed by Alix Stria, as a result, or maybe a stepping stone, of an experimental writing practice. It revolves around the intuitive, the unknown and the non-permanent, blurring the lines between writing and reading, thought and material, body and identity. Including poetry, short texts, a script and an essay that reveals the author’s obsession with text and typographic details, while investigating the space between the words and their complicity to the creation of meaning in language. The pages of the small book are offset printed in a dark blue color, while the cover is screen printed with an intense blue on a soft cover made of white smooth fake leather.

This book was created as a proposal for the first half of this year and is, in its nature, completely speculative.
Its main focus is mobility, studying how, in the last centuries, the urbanism of the city of Póvoa de Varzim has been developing, imposing questions such as “Is the city adapting to the people or the people adapting to the city?” on a joint base of maps and blueprints accessed from the city archive and photographs of my authorship.
This concrete theme is even more noticeable when we see the different typographic styles combined with the pictorial elements mentioned above, thus unifying the object.

The book “Philosopical Diary” by Constantin Noica is a collection of thoughts about school: how it should function and what it should teach. For this reason, the book took shape of a notebook (look at format, book size and rounded corners). On the cover there are two paths describing the way of searching for knowledge: one straight and simple, the other forming a question mark. Type size is realtively large and corresponding to school textbooks. The inside margin is very wide. This is a place not only for a page number, but also for the reader’s notes. It is a notebook on which you can write and add your own mark to its pure form.

Using diagramming as a graphic communication tool to generate stories through the analysis of photographs captured in my urban surroundings. Walking, observing, analysing, making stories. (Series of 6 booklets.)

Exploring the diagrammatic language and its use, with emphasis on its potential to form narratives while investigating the brain and how thoughts are developing. A visual study on diagram elements as facts versus interpretation, clarity versus ambiguity, and subjectivity versus objectivity. A journey through shapes, lines and arrows.

A Brainful of Diagrams takes the form of an artist’s book, cataloging a series of experiments that record my own perception and ideas around the topic. A collection of printed media that challenges the reader to interact with; observe, analyse, think, and shape their own interpretations. 

What happens when the brain takes the form of a simple circle, and how it affects and is being affected by its surrounding visual elements? A visual study that uses diagrammatic illustrations to explore and communicate brain functions through a graphic communication lens. A diagrammatic journey where the brain is being transformed, taking new dimensions; revealing how it is divided, and how thoughts are developing. (Pack of 50 cards.)

This book gives life to a series of poems written by Angelos Ioannou. The cover itself is an abstract collage; a visual representation of our inner selves. A combination of images, text and shapes full of hidden messages.

How can a narrative be communicated using simple dia[grammatic] elements? A story developed based on random thoughts, using shapes, lines, arrows and words, that altogether create the most meaning-less story. Or not?

This zine introduces a range of graphic remnants collected from Dubai, UAE. The viewer has the opportunity to meet this city through an alternative perspective; tickets, flyers, receipts, labels, menus, packages, hotel key cards, luggage tags, maps, etc.

Using Apple Mail as a subverting drawing tool, this publication represents a visual gallery of artworks consisting of patterns and typographic compositions. All 11 black-and-white visual outcomes are created entirely using the keyboard as a drawing tool (letters, numbers and symbols). The source behind the compositions is a series of images connected to urban life and environment; surfaces, textures, memories, influences.

This one-page book is dedicated to Fortino Samano, and his haikus “Volta sto Kaimakli”. (Printed on tracing paper.)

No Words of Warmth / Keine wärmende Worte is a multifaceted and hybrid art book—combining text, sound, and images—that provides a glimpse of a young Jewish woman’s life as an artist in Germany. Associations relating to the roles of sister, daughter, mother, and grandmother are woven together through the eyes of the protagonist to create a cohesive feminist voice that explores the past and its influence on the present. Reality blurs with fantasy in a form of stream-of-consciousness writing that is as true as memory or remembered history. Energized by a process of critical selfreflection, this book can be seen as a stand against dehumanization, and a reflection of Jewish life in Germany today.

Our magazine »Ruhm & Ego – Einfach Machen Magazin« is all about stories and projects away from the daily business routine. When people passionately start their own projects alongside their jobs, dare to enter new industries despite their lack of expertise, and perhaps go their own way somewhat amateurishly, but with a great deal of heart and soul. For us, it’s all about the people behind their projects and their way of thinking. This passion and enthusiasm attracts us and that’s what we present to you in our magazine.

A hand-made book of frottages (rubbings) taken from utility covers, signs, and other patterns in Japan.

“Mujeres Hispanas y Tipografía” (Hispanic Women and Typography) documents four individual projects that target tangible topics, such as educational systems, colonialism, indigenous languages, and calligraphy. Based on academic and field research, these projects reflect the influences that individual cultures and histories have on contemporary graphic design and typography, and challenge the colonial and patriarchal narratives that still affect these fields.

Self-published zine, documentation of miscellaneous happenings, thoughts and situations from two months spent in the Sudety mountains.
