Fractals \/ Fractais<\/strong>

\n\n\n\n

\u201cFractals \/ Fractais\u201d is a bilingual publication divided into three volumes. The project was developed as a group in response to a brief proposed by another group in the Project curricular unit (made up of Maria Lu\u00edsa Pinto, Roberta Miranda and Victoria Borges Brites), which called for a coffee-table book exploring fractal forms in relation to nature and human beings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The publication\u2019s identity and visual aesthetic were inspired by these infinite, self-similar geometric forms found in nature, carrying these motifs into the design and layout: a geometric, monospaced typeface for titles and subheadings, and a selection of vibrant, saturated colors that interact with one another, creating infinite pairs. To clearly mark the publication\u2019s bilingual nature, two different typefaces were used, one for each language: a serif typeface for Portuguese and a sans serif for English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three volumes are brought together in an outer slipcase that combines the three main colors in one of the best-known fractal examples: the Mandelbrot set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
