Entry Description

Brazilian group Casuarina’s 8th album represents a new phase in the band’s career and points to the future of the samba music genre. To graphically represent this positive moment, I used the plus sign (also present in the album’s name, +100) as its main feature. The graphic elements seem to jump out of the page, alluding to the band’s assertive and optimist new phase. The “+” is the visual and conceptual basis for the entire artwork. Combined with its vibrant colors, it portrays more energy, more happiness, more assuredness, more potential, more samba!

Bio

I work as Creative Director, Art Director and Visual Designer for advertising, design and digital agencies. On the side, I focus on creative projects for the arts & culture industry, as well as personal visual arts projects.

I love what I do. I love coming up with innovative ideas, creating visual identities, exploring looks & feels, and I love doing it by being hands-on or by directing a team of diversified talents. My focus on craft and passion for solving visual and conceptual problems naturally led every step of my career. From the very beginning working for award-winning creative shops
