I was responsible for the layout and editorial design of DRX ID+, a publication that compiles research and design projects developed at IPCA between 2020 and 2024. The book aims to present design as a research discipline, with a visual language that enhances both academic content and graphic aesthetics.

My Contributions

  • Developed the editorial grid and visual navigation structure
  • Defined typographic styles and hierarchy
  • Edited and integrated images, charts, and visual elements
  • Designed and laid out over 153 pages
  • Aligned the design with IPCA’s institutional visual identity and publishing standards

Tools Used

InDesign · Illustrator · Photoshop

Purpose

To give visibility to design research within the academic context, connecting professional practice, theory, and visual culture.
