The Tribo do Sol logo embodies the spirit of sun-soaked waves and the vibrant surf culture of Praia da Barra, Gafanha da Nazaré, Aveiro. A stylized sunburst forms the central motif, radiating warm energy and evoking the essence of endless summer days.
Originally, I did a project about this company in 2020, but I wanted to reformulate in order to understand my progress in my skills as a professional.
I took a minimalist approach, a logo that could adapt to a variety of situations, but keeping the colors and values in the T-Shirt.

Graphic is a very important project for me. It was made during my Erasmus semester in Zlín, Czech Republic.
Me and my lovely friend, Irene, had a Graphic Design Class together, with the objective of creating a fanzine of our experience. What we did was, with the help of artificlal inteligence, create a page for
everybody enrolled in the class. Something that, when they would get home, could remind them that, for a semester, all of us got together in little classroom in Czech Republic to create art, but most important, memories.

During my time at Networkme, i worked in the Design department. This experience allowed me to play a vital role in helping young individuals kickstart their professional journeys, acting as a crucial bridge between academia and the real-world workforce.
As a dedicated contributor to the program, I was deeply involved in
the creation of engaging and impactful content. Through thoughtful design and innovative visual strategies, I worked alongside a talented team to craft materials that resonated with our target audience. These materials not only served to inform and inspire but also empowered young professionals to take confident steps towards their career aspirations.

Social Masks was a project developed in Contemporary Artistic Movements with my classmates. We took Erving Goffman’s seventh concept, Mystification, and we built a Photo Montage. Everyday when we left our home, we are not ourselves, we are what people perceived we are, and that can cause a lot of damage. Our society is judgmental and full of hatred, and we will never truly know anyone, hence the “masks”. Our idea was to create a “before/after” effect of someone who has personal issues, and had to put on a Social Mask to
hide and show a different version of himself to please other. He felt like he didn’t belong to the label people gave him and he also didn’t felt like he knew anyone. Society was just faceless faces, serial numbers.
Overwhelmed by fakeness and his mask, he achieved a breaking point. He started to drown in social pressure and pressumptions demanded by our supercificial and evil society, and he can´t get out of this “sea of eyes” that keeps chasing him.
