From this brief came \u201cForm and freedom: Modernism and deconstruction in graphic design\u201d, a publication that explores both modernism and deconstruction in graphic design, as the title indicates. Several different typefaces were used, themselves deconstructed and edited to give the publication flow, interest and rhythm without the use of images, while keeping the concept of information hierarchy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1142\" height=\"1286\" data-id=\"2637\" src=\"https:\/\/mdgpe.fba.up.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fio-de-cera-prj-2025-008-01.jpg\" alt=\"Form and freedom: Modernism and deconstruction in graphic design \u2014 image 1 of 2\" class=\"wp-image-2637\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mdgpe.fba.up.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fio-de-cera-prj-2025-008-01.jpg 1142w, https:\/\/mdgpe.fba.up.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fio-de-cera-prj-2025-008-01-266x300.jpg 266w, https:\/\/mdgpe.fba.up.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fio-de-cera-prj-2025-008-01-909x1024.jpg 909w, https:\/\/mdgpe.fba.up.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fio-de-cera-prj-2025-008-01-768x865.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1142px) 100vw, 1142px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1346\" height=\"1358\" data-id=\"2638\" src=\"https:\/\/mdgpe.fba.up.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fio-de-cera-prj-2025-008-02.jpg\" alt=\"Form and freedom: Modernism and deconstruction in graphic design \u2014 image 2 of 2\" class=\"wp-image-2638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mdgpe.fba.up.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fio-de-cera-prj-2025-008-02.jpg 1346w, https:\/\/mdgpe.fba.up.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fio-de-cera-prj-2025-008-02-297x300.jpg 297w, https:\/\/mdgpe.fba.up.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fio-de-cera-prj-2025-008-02-1015x1024.jpg 1015w, https:\/\/mdgpe.fba.up.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fio-de-cera-prj-2025-008-02-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mdgpe.fba.up.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/fio-de-cera-prj-2025-008-02-768x775.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1346px) 100vw, 1346px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\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>: 2024<br><strong>Dimensions<\/strong>: 180 \u00d7 240 \u00d7 3 mm; 28 pages<br><strong>Materials<\/strong>: Munken Pure 150 g\/m\u00b2.<br><strong>Production and finishing<\/strong>: Digital printing; hand-bound.<br><strong>Resources and credits<\/strong>: Software: Adobe InDesign, Adobe Photoshop; original texts: S.
