02 ISTD: FLATLAND
The book Flatland is a journey o a square seeking out the
discovery o the truth about dierent dimensions. The aim
o this new edition is to allow the reader to experience a
journey similar to the main character. The typography and
the books structure are both designed to underline this
purpose. The nal design is the culmination o a variousdierent experiments. All these experiments lead me to
approach the typography in a more classical but denitely
mature way. The ormat originally began as a composition
by nested boxes. Each box represented a dimension and
the text o the book was printed on the containers and/
or placed inside. The nal edition is a translation o this
concept to paper, with the transormation becoming more
practical in some cases, but more accessible in all.

04 USCREATES KEEP IN TOUCH POSTCARDS
Live project with Uscreates. The aim was to produce a set o
keeping in touch postcards directed to clients, associates,
peers, volunteers and interns.
I created a series o mirrored smiling cards, that would
make the receiver smile and that would be kept and
represents the dynamic, young and positive vibes oUscreates. To increase the engagement o the public with
my idea, I projected a way o creating a conversation
between the Uscreates target audience. I planned to build
up a web page linked to Uscreates website were it would
be possible nd dierent suggestions (with explicatory
drawings) o where to put the postcards and the possibility
to share new ones with the other Uscreates people.
