At the speed of light

My cousin Pedro Sá Correia is a great photographer. Some days ago he was showing me his latest works and I had one of those ‘speed of light’ inspirations from one of his pictures. This is the final result. You can check his work here and, who knows, you might be also as inspired as [...]

Trial&Error

Here at whatype we’ve been working on a new project. It’s going to be a digital publication, the idea behind is that each issue tells one or two stories at the same time.

It’s always about the music

This is a set of posters I’ve done about 4 different albums that where (are) really important for me and my loving of music. Each one was discovered in a different time of my life and showed me something more, something new. Each part of this image is meant to be a poster by itself, [...]

What type of money is in the Paulson plan?

This is another work I’ve made to try and explain the size of the number 700,000,000,000. I didn’t had a concern of making ‘economic’ comparisons, my main idea was to pick something really big in our common sense and show people that the $700 billion number is still a huge number, even when compared with [...]
