This academic exercise was to reimagine the logo and some spreads for the Portuguese newspaper Sol, Issue #268, October 14th, 2011. The textual content was fixed: would be exactly the same as the existing edition. Images also had to comply with the same number existing in the original newspaper, however we determined their size and importance.

In our approach, we created a completely distinct newspaper, seeing this exercise not only as a way to improve the existing Sol, but also to give it a new identity. Thus, we turned its personality from the most sensational to literary. The text gained importance, the images become less invasive and we also introduced a new element: the illustration, which gave a certain lightness to the publication.

Pussy Faggot is a New York City’s preeminent alternative queer art party which celebrates varied expressions of queer identity through an eclectic mix of live performance, DJs and visual artists.

In these posters, made ​​to promote their passage in Porto, integrated in a European tour, we tried to create an image quite graphic and appealing, suggesting the idea of ​​sex without, on one hand being too obvious, nor on the other misrepresenting Pussy Faggot’s identity.

Thus the illustrations, which at first sight only work as a mere pattern, reveal phallic shapes and holes in different combinations between each other.
