IDEA

The objective of the project was to create visual identifi-
cation for a ceramic design festival. The patron of the event is Rafael Bordalo Pin-
heiro, 19th century illustra-
tor and graphic designer, who founded the ceramic factory in Caldas da Rainha in 1884.

The idea for the visual iden-
tification came from a word -play with the patron’s name, which means a pine tree or a pine cone. That gives a double meaning: the first refferes to the name: it’s Pinheiro’s festival; but if the apostrophe is removed it gives “Pinheiros” - the mea-
ning of pine trees or pine cones.
That’s why I decided to build the visual identity on the image of a pine cone.
