It questions the supposed neutrality of form, style and typography, exploring their cultural and ideological dimension. Printing on fabric reinforces the concept, establishing a metaphor between design and a woven system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Imprint \/ Technical Rider<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Year<\/strong>: 2025<br><strong>Dimensions<\/strong>: 210 \u00d7 297 mm; 16 pages<br><strong>Materials<\/strong>: Unbleached cotton cloth.<br><strong>Production and finishing<\/strong>: Bound on a sewing machine with black thread.<br><strong>Resources and credits<\/strong>: ABC Gaisyr \u2014 Dinamo<br>Neue Haas Grotesk \u2014 Christian Schwartz, Monotype<br>Adobe InDesign CC 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Curricular Unit:<\/strong><br>Advanced Studies in Editorial Design and Typography (1st year)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Supervising Professor:<\/strong><br>M\u00e1rio Moura<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Editorial Design, Design Criticism, Materiality, Textile<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mdgpe.fba.up.pt\/expo\/2026\/index.html?prj=7&amp;lang=en\">See this project in the <em>Material Archive<\/em> interactive archive \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project 1 for Advanced Studies in Editorial Design and Typography \u2014 a printed publication about design, made to be read, leafed through and looked at, built from the texts provided and using typographic elements only, without images or color.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":1949,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[44,43,96,3482,3496,18],"tags":[223,695,705,715,710,720,186,623,628,700],"class_list":["post-1955","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-advanced-studies-in-editorial-design-and-typography","category-course-projects-and-assignments","category-editorial-design","category-exhibition","category-material-archive-2026-en","category-portfolio","tag-223","tag-abc-gaisyr","tag-andrew-blauvelt","tag-fabric","tag-katherine-mccoy","tag-machine-sewing","tag-mario-moura","tag-marta-cabral","tag-neue-haas-grotesk","tag-vilem-flusser","entry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/mdgpe.fba.up.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/arquivo-material-prj-007-01.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mdgpe.fba.up.pt\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1955","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mdgpe.fba.up.pt\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mdgpe.fba.up.pt\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mdgpe.fba.up.pt\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mdgpe.fba.up.pt\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1955"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mdgpe.fba.up.pt\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1955\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1956,"href":"https:\/\/mdgpe.fba.up.pt\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1955\/revisions\/1956"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mdgpe.fba.up.pt\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1949"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mdgpe.fba.up.pt\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1955"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mdgpe.fba.up.pt\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1955"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mdgpe.fba.up.pt\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
