Visual Identity & Title Design
Chelas nha kau

“You say Chelas is this, you say Chelas is that… Shut up, you’re talking nonsense.” It is with the rhythm and rhymes of Bataclan 1950’s rap that they allow us to enter their world. But the warning has been made: leave preconceptions at the door. Chelas nha kau (Chelas my place) is a kaleidoscope of recordings taken between 2016 and 2019. A film that reveals different aspects of what it means to be a young person in a social housing project and lets you enter the world of a group of friends for whom “Chelas is the capital of Lisbon and Lisbon is the capital of Portugal.”

Doc Lisboa’20 Official selection.
 A collective movie by Bataclan 1950 and Bagabaga Studios

Chelas nha Kau, means: Chelas my place. The entire visual identity for the film, communication supports and title design was taken from Chelas architecture, from the walls of the people who inhabit the neighborhood. Raw material to design letters, ornaments and illustration, and build a sense of belonging.

BRR2018 Book
Pedro Costa, Ricardo Lopes, Jorge Bassani

“BRR 2018: Quando a periferia se torna trendy” book design.
The book traces a picture of the socio-cultural life in the city of Barreiro. The book design created a visual identity in this “Exquisite corpse”, a co-creation among academics, journalists, local agents, photographers, designers and artists. This graphic backbone was achieved by the design of a typeface called “Ferramenta de coisas”, based on my memory of shapes from Barreiro old industrial landscape. At the same time the typeface name and modular character to build “things” reinforces the DYI drive of ​​the city’s cultural movements in the post-industrial era. And the use of Staff and Sul Mono typefaces from R‑Typography.

Authors: André Carmo, Agostinho Nogueira Lopes, Ana Oliveira, Ana Pinto, Filipe Matos, Jorge Bassani, Jorge Sol , José Mendes, Marta Martins, Marta Traquino, Pedro Costa, Ricardo Lopes, Rui Pedro Dâmaso, Sofia da Palma Rodrigues, Sónia Pereira, Sofia Da Palma Rodrigues, Vera Marmelo e Vitor Belanciano.
Edited by: Dinâmica’cet-iul do ISCTE — Instituto Universitário de Portugal and FAU — Universidade de São Paulo (Brasil)

Visual Identity
Escola Conde de Ferreira

Visual Identity design for a beautiful community project in Barreiro.

Converting an old inactive school (Escola Conde de Ferreira Nº1), in a Production Center and Artistic Participation for the community.

Keeping the name of the school and the original lettering found engraved on the entrance wall. 

The symbol based on the architecture of the school is the basis and the container for all the visual language of the school identity. Without identifying chromatic patrimony, it can take on all colors and textures, this way it reflects the plurality of the community.

ECDF is a project directed by RUMO, Hey Pachuco, Out.ra and C.M.B.
