Formally, we chose elements such as empty space, the symbolic black of emptiness and silence, the metallic finish that evokes outer space, and NASA blue, since all the texts come from its database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After defining an initial layout, we realized the need to include a special section with 18 questions, the \u201cBig Questions\u201d, to deepen the reader\u2019s knowledge of the universe. These questions are strategically hidden at the beginning of the book, so that readers can discover them and single them out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The indexes were set out on a fold-out, including an index of images, given their importance in the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Titled \u201cAcross the Universe\u201d, the book explores space and its empty, black and unknown side. It includes extras such as a silver cover and a blue triptych index alluding to NASA. The main goal is to intrigue readers and keep them curious, reflecting the attention to detail that runs through the whole project.<\/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>: 2023<br><strong>Dimensions<\/strong>: 210 \u00d7 297 \u00d7 30 mm<br><strong>Materials<\/strong>: Munken Pure 120 g\/m\u00b2 and Stardream Silver 300 g\/m\u00b2.<br><strong>Production and finishing<\/strong>: Hand-sewn.<br><strong>Resources and credits<\/strong>: Typefaces: Harfang (Andre Simard), Inter (Rasmus Andersson), Sometype Mono (Ryoichi Tsunekawa) and Xanh Mono (Yellow Type, L\u00e2m Bao, Duy Dao).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Curricular Unit:<\/strong><br>Project (1st year)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Supervising Professors:<\/strong><br>Cristina Ferreira and Eduardo Aires<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mdgpe.fba.up.pt\/?page_id=1444\">See the <em>P\u00e1ginas Mestras<\/em> exhibition (2024) \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over several meetings, the editorial team developed a synergy with the theme.
