PALESTRA MODERNA
A typographic project that begun during the first covid lockdown.
Palestra Moderna is a full suite of characters designed to compliment the most loved P in all of Brazil. Celebrating the culture and heritage of the Brazilian football club Palmeiras, formerly known as Palestra Itália. The type-style combines the original historic Tuscan traits with the geometric style that the logo has inherited over the years of re-design. The font was generated in FontForge and published as a workable OpenType font approved by Monotype.
EA PEACE DAY
The winning entry to the first ever D&AD White Pencil brief in 2012, to raise awareness of International Peace Day. Also, the first ever Black Pencil won for The School of Communication Arts 2.0. We found a place where conflict was an everyday occurrence, and which had a big enough audience to make a difference. By recreating the 1914 ceasefire in an online war game we gave people the opportunity to lay down their guns and play football instead.
Ninja protects Royal Spa Town
A stunt that got me into advertising college (SCA 2.0), was talked about on the 6pm BBC News and featured in printed versions of many national newspapers, as well as being reported by online news channels around the world. Real-life superheroes gave their support, comedians made fun of it and real ninjas wanted me wiped off the face of the earth. More importantly, it won me a full scholarship sponsored by BBH and AMVBBDO.
