Drama International Short Film Festival (DISFF) is Greece’s leading short film festival, and the annual meeting place for filmmakers and industry professionals. Based in the picturesque city of Drama, the festival is the leading Greek and South-Eastern European gateway to the world’s most prestigious short film awards, and nominated filmmakers qualify for the European Film Awards (EFA).

To design the visual identity of the 2022 edition, DpS Athens used Garaje by Thomas Huot-Marchand, Fedra Mono by Peter Biľak and Times New Roman by Stanley Morison.

DISFF Paper

Algeco designs and constructs modular buildings for temporary and permanent use. This new visual identity symbolizes the projection of Algeco into a new era, that of its commitment and its contribution to a better and sustainable world where modular and circular construction creates value for territories, whether urban or rural. It thus embodies Algeco's capacity for innovation and its ability to build a modular, sustainable and inclusive future around three key issues: economic progress, societal progress, and environmental progress.

Inspired by the geometric and minimalist aesthetic of Bauhaus, Algeco’s (custom) logo is made up of typographic blocks where the design of each letter comes from a construction grid that refers to the advantages of modular construction. It has only slightly evolved as it remains iconic and timeless.

Algeco reinstalls Fedra Mono at the heart of its visual identity. This monospace typeface was chosen because of the identical widths of the letters and spacing, thus reinforcing the technical notion and geometry of modular constructions.

Escola Aldeia is a school in Goiânia, center-west Brazil, teaching up to the Ensino Fundamental level (equivalent of U.S. Middle School). Its identity was created by the branding agency BR/BAUEN DESIGN in 2018.

In their case study BR/BAUEN says:

Escola Aldeia emerged as a manifestation of the need for change in the forms of teaching. In a context where we see 'school' as a hierarchy, a linear learning model and that annuls the individual exercise of creativity, the school project was born to present an alternative to this model of education, offering the new generation a path of community, creativity and teaching methodologies. The conception of the project was based on guiding the perception of parents who yearn for new learning choices, showing through their communication and their identity construction a school that has love for knowledge, for the other and for life.

The name aldeia, meaning village, comes from the proverb "It takes a village to raise a child."

The main logo is set in Discórdia Bold accompanied by a symbol. There is also a secondary logo using the word Aldeia arranged in an array of nodes and set in Fedra Mono. Its shape can change and can be overlaid on top of a short paragraph.

Throughout the identity you can see Discórdia in big titles, headlines, and even blown up to the point of being cropped out. In short paragraphs the identity usually uses all three of Discórdias text styles on the same line (Regular, Italic and Bold). For all subheads and running text, including on the website, Fedra Mono does the heavy lifting.

Inspired by Stefan Sagmeister's project Things I Have Learned In My Life So Far and the many professional and personal experiences and turmoil in the first year since my graduation from the Zagreb School of Design I created a series of minimalist typographic posters illustrating the simple maxims and thoughts I had come to realise.

My first personal exhibition, featuring the posters, was opened on the 24th of January at the Boonika Gallery in Zagreb. The following are the posters and exhibition visuals and images from the making-of.
