Peltier Tiling
A passion for tiling. This is what the client has, and wanted to communicate with his brand.
This is not another tiling company, but an upper-class, all-in-one, creative tiling company.
The design had to communicate his passion and his artistic side, along with the contractor aspect.
My latest project at Mediation Communications.

Espertise, professionalism and trust. That's what you'd expect from your investment advisor,
and that's what the identity delivers. Danmil is an real estate investment advisory company,

Black Sabbath
One of my last projects at the Academy of Art University,
in San Francisco, this is a tribute to the best band of all times.
The whole design is based on the cover of the Vol. 4 album,
and it tells a little bit about the band's history, and the songs.

Arcade Type
I created this typeface based on a brandmark for one of our client's
at Mediation Communications. The company was sports related,
but the typeface had an Atari feeling to me, bold and with presence.

Ipanema
These are some of my earliest photos, pretty much the first time I adventured
into the world of the black and white photography. These pictures are from Ipanema Beach
in Rio de Janeiro. I intended to capture the family and nostalgic feeling of the
beach and the neighbohood, a 'Bossa Nova' feeling, if you like music.

Mechanica Consulting
Part of the mining industry, Mechanica Consulting oversees all mobile equipment
of a mining, from buying to repair. They needed an identity that felt as strong
and as established as any other major player in this industry.
Another work at Mediation Communications.



Helvetica Calendar
Instead of separating weeks and months into independent units of time,
I intended to show the year as a whole, continous, divided only by days.
The colours help identifying the weeks and months, but they blend into
each other as time passes by.



Marilyn's Pop Death in Cyan, Magenta and Yellow
This is the result of a college project, in which I had to design an identity
for another student's made up company, based on an art movement.
The made up company was a cigarette company named "Smoke and Mirrors",
and the movement was Pop Art. From there came the poster.

Have you seen the lady pharaoh
This idea came when I misunderstood the lyrics of The Rolling Stones
'She's a Rainbow', "...have you seen the lady fairer..." at the same time that
Hatshepsut was featured in the cover of National Geographic.
I also created the typeface for this poster, to give it some contrast.
