The book brings together the best annual projects of the Academy. Printed in six-colour offset with the addition of a metallic Pantone, and partially in Risograph (internal insert), it employs hand-crafted movable type for the titles, with manual typesetting combined with black-and-white photography, as well as artist illustrations produced through intaglio and engraving, printed in two colours.

The layout is conceived as a fluid composition: a hybrid system of techniques and visual overlays that positions the book somewhere between graphic design and the artist’s book. While flipping through the pages, readers can access additional audio content related to the various activities.

Some of the typefaces used belong to the Academy’s collection of movable type. This includes a version of Inserat-Grotesk – possibly Fondografica’s Piacenza – and Motor. The names and origins of others are uncertain or undocumented.

The E and P are from an Art Deco typeface that’s similar to Triennale.

The new visual identity of ISIA Roma Design – Italy's first public university institute of design – opens up a new point of view, merging the institute’s history and values with modern communication needs and combining the institutional side with an experimental vision.

The identity, designed by Intorno Design (Guido Lombardo, Tommaso Salvatori, Antonello Lipori, Giampiero Donno), uses Ministry by Rian Hughes as their brand typeface.

From square to circle, from circle to sphere. We move on to a new evolutionary stage, which evokes the dimension of globality, complexity and perfection, but also internationality, variety of viewpoints, form as volume, design as process and ability to see beyond, and experiments with new forms, visual languages, interactions with a systemic, technological and meta-design approach.

In the ISIA identity, colour is also dynamic and can fade into any other tone of the colour circle when it is desired to highlight and give character to an important activity or event.

Since 2019, the ISIA identity project won: Honorable mention at Creative Communication Award 2019, Premio Eccellenze del design nel Lazio 2019, 1st prize CSS Design Awards 2019, Special Mention German Design Award 2020, Gold in Print/Collateral Material IDA Design Award 2020.

The RUFA Annual Report 2016 was designed by Intorno Design (Guido Lombardo, Tommaso Salvatori, Giampiero Donno, Roberta De Cristofaro, Matteo Sampaolo). The report collects the best of the academy’s dense annual educational and creative production.

Inside, the use of an expressive typography, photography combined with artwork in magenta thread, a free layout and visible binding aim to evoke the multidisciplinary characteristic of the school, made up of art and design contaminations and stratifications.

The design makes early use of Jim Ford’s Posterama (Monotype, 2016), mainly in the 2001 style, combined with Eric Olson’s Klavika (Process).

The poster shows the various actions that have been implemented, while the blank offset cover features a letter written by the lecturer to a future student.

The insert of 16 pages of different formats, printed in two colors, features one of the main events of the past year: RUFA contest.

“Extra” and “Diary” are set in Posterama 1913, with stacked glyphs.

The product is printed in six colors with the use of neon Pantones 802 and 806.
