Nice work from Brazilian design graduate Fernando Chaves

Brazilian designer Fernando Chaves recently got in touch to show off his rather impressive graphic design portfolio – which is even more impressive seeing as the plucky young Rio-based creative only graduated last year. One of our favourite projects on his well-designed little site is his poster series for the Journalism and the Public Square lectures.

“In this project there was a clear need to highlight the idea of a public square,” Fernando explains. "Bearing that in mind and also having the idea that journalism is highly related to storytelling, the purpose was to delimitate the space as it had a sort of framework or a structure filled with text. So this element in the poster was responsible for creating an environment where everything could happen inside.”

Equally wonderful is Fernando’s work with Portfolio magazine, where as an intern he helped create the digital version of the publication. The designer was responsible for the page layouts shown, as well as for creating the playful logotype. If we were them, we’d have him back in a shot.
