Aguarrás is an arts magazine (portuguese only). It was born as a personal project but is now much, much greater and better. I’m particularly proud of this project.

This is a major redesign.

This t-shirt stamp was made for a São Paulo’s anniversary (2009) special, for a local mainstream newspaper, Jornal da Tarde. It was a challenge proposed to seven designers and we had three days from briefing to publishing. For personal reasons, I had to finish it in one.

What shows as a representation of blood vessels is actually the road map of São Paulo.

Black, white and red are the city’s official colors.

As published on the newspaper (full 4^th cover page):

Detail (me!):

Front page teaser:

Lagartixa (gecko, in portuguese) is my other portfolio.

Wordpress theme and logotype for the main science fiction and fantasy site in Brazil, Fantastik.com.br

For this site I’ve used a few hacks:

Some categories only show post titles first, others show the full post. I’ve used only WordPress codex for that.

For each category there is a different illustration. This one is even simpler: a secondary css was applied to each category template (category-#.php and so on).

Left menu has a hover effect, made with pure css, no javascript nor flash. It uses layer positioning and z-index and nothing else.

Other unusual (for me) choice was the fixed layout (fluid rules!). The adsense and links disappear when seen on resolutions lower than 1024 wide.

No flash, no javascript, pure css.

Left menu:

The alphanumeric list that shows in some categories uses wp-snap (awesome plugin, by the way!).

Logotype for the public health administrator, Valcler.

Valcler is a natural leader and is quite usual to see him followed (literally and metaphorically speaking) by thousands of people. It was important that the logotype represented that (several human figures).

It was also important that it reflected in someway his political choices (in Brazil, PT, the labor’s party – left wing – is represented by a red star).

Other main characteristic is that Valcler is an aggregator but not – in any way – an authoritary person and truly believes everyone’s equal.

Cinabre was the name of the publishing house I owned until 2007. All graphic stuff, including this logotype, was developed by me.

Just about now (march, 2009), I’ve decided to start a new personal project and Cinabre will be resuscitated.

Autoreport – web & logotype

Mambo template

Logotype

Logotype for classical pianist Marcelo de Alvarenga.

I’ve also made all of his site’s versions until now.

The first one, june 1999 (below), was made in html, using tables and no css:

v. 1

The second was still without a CMS but already used css:

v. 2

The third used Mambo, tableless (php+css):

v 3

The fourth is under construction and will be on WordPress, tableless, fluid layout.

Para esta versão, usei algumas soluções combinadas para o tocador de mp3 e para o glossário.

A versão 3 do site ganhou também uma identidade visual nova, substituindo a antiga (também minha).

Gosto imensamente de trabalhar com músicos.

Lá Fora (“out there”) was a site about external media, such as outdoors. I’ve designed the logotype and the mambo template.

Here in São Paulo, short after that, all outdoors were prohibited and the site was made into a blog about the subject. The blog, in Wordpress, was not made by me and uses a different theme.

Aguarrás was born as a personal project. Today it is an online scientific art magazine (ISSN 1980-7767) with important writers and collaborators.

Personal logotype

I’ve designed all of writer Eric Novello’s site versions until now and his logotype.

Version 3 is under construction and uses WordPress.

Version 2 used Mambo:

The first version didn’t use a CMS:

Logotype:

Mambo template, logotype and cd cover for the classical pianist Nivaldo Tavares

Logotype for classical pianist Andrés Roig

Logotype for i4B – Information for Business

Logotype for the children’s writers and illustrators association, Associação de Escritores e Ilustradores de Literatura Infantil e Juvenil – AEILIJ.

After a significant change within the association, they decided to promote a contest for a new logotype. For personal reasons I didn’t enter it (not that entering meant winning, of course).
