In order to develop a publication around the theme “Manifesto”, Presságio appeared. Presságio is the name given to this book for having as motto a poem with the same name by Fernando Pessoa. This book is about non-verbal poetry. The same poem, two approaches. The traditional one, and the one I gave through images. The idea of creating a book based on images came from the concept of unconscious manifestation, as a way for each of us to manifest ourselves. This concept, in turn, can translate into non-verbal communication. My main goal is, therefore, to manifest myself through non-verbal communication and awaken unconscious manifestations in the reader. Presságio tells the story of a poem that is deeply melancholic, yet hopeful. Written by Fernando Pessoa, narrated by me.


To complement this book and serve as a symbol, I created a flag with the sequential solution of the images used throughout the book. From the book cover to the flag itself, the goal was always to make an omen – presságio – for the book itself.

Portuguese bullfighting, also known as Festa Brava, has a strong sense of tradition passed down through generations. But behind this practice is an inhumane treatment of the bull, just for the public's amusement. We want to celebrate this rich culture, minus the fighting, blood and suffering. So we created "Nova Festa Brava" (New Brave Party), the bloodless festival. Using Google Fonts' Oswald and Old Standard, we created a bold typographic identity that looks at bullfighting (or is it bull-loving?) with fresh eyes. There is a place to love tradition, this time without pain.
