The Sticky Issue Nº000
Peganhenta is a magazine under the genres of pink press (in structure) and critical design publication under the theme of “stickiness”. Born from the (childtime) loathe of couché paper in magazines and it’s sticky touch characteristics, Peganhenta expands the lexicon of the concept of stickiness in different contexts and semantical exercises.
The magazine’s axis is “Interaction”, later expanding to an exhibition format, as a scribble-on poster for visitors to emulate the childlike hobby of tooth and eye blackening, eyebrow undoing and freckle painting. An unintentiol and collaborative activity book for people to express themselves in a solo and mosaic image by sticking to eachother.

“BFF: Ships Navigating” is a take on adulting. Each piece exhibited is an ironic ode to the phase following the teen years (which isn’t adulthood necessarily). They show the illusions and delusions of this new chapter in which we learn to prioritize (better) company; making (more than spelling) mistakes; spill tea; lose and leave behind; watch from afar; cut-off; move on; keep; navigate. The logic next step is keeping the receipts and talking about it.

Miguel Esteves Cardoso
“Ouvir, Escrever, Vestir, Fazer” (” Hear, Write, Dress, Make”) is a project on re-edition of a book excerpt by Miguel Esteves Cardoso through a magazine format. This magazine is based on a post punk, contemporary aesthetic, taking into account the humoristic writing of the author and from there reimagining the whole publication. Between textures, patterns, costum type, influences from pop and camp, the aim was set on eclecticism, without losing a sense of unity in the magazine’s integrity. As such, the theme of “poops”, “trash”, and “buckets” came into play on the whole of the publication, whether it be by means of ads, stamps, images or the magazine photoshoot.

A fascicule magazine designed around the 3rd chapter of the book “Criação do Fundo de Turismo e o Boom da Década de 60 - O Turismo como Estratégia do Desenvolvimento”. The briefing dictated the format, printing parameters, and stylistic approach. The key challenge was how to generate interest in the publication, which led to the addition of a fold feature. Since the images and footnotes served as a reference index — existing alongside the main article — the fold physically separated these elements, clarifying the content hierarchy and improving readability.

Exhibition Catalogue
Poças is a Portuguese winery based in Vila Nova de Gaia, known for producing Port wine while maintaining strong ties to artistic curation and promotion—particularly with the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Porto. In 2020, students were invited to design posters about the winery for an exhibition, which was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As the world gradually returned to business as usual, the exhibition moved forward, leading to the production of this catalog.

Jorge Luis Borges
Inspired by Borges’ work, this book compiles three of the most famous short stories by the autor. The approach to it comes from the constant theme spread over the pages — Creation —, and how much of this action is appropriating, reinventing and decoding of tradition and history, just as in design practice.
