CASE STUDY
This personal project explores the relationship between film and graphic design through a series of posters created for an international film festival. The project involved reinterpreting well-known quotes from Cuban cinema using a contemporary visual language, while preserving the legacy of Cuba’s poster-making tradition.
Each piece was developed using graphic elements characteristic of Cuban poster art as a reference, combining composition, typography, and visual synthesis to generate new interpretations of widely known works. The goal was to pay homage to one of the most representative expressions of Cuban cultural design from a contemporary perspective.
The result was a collection of posters with a strong conceptual character that celebrates Cuba’s graphic and cinematic heritage through a unique visual reinterpretation.
PROJECT SUMMARY
A series of conceptual posters for an international film festival, inspired by iconic phrases from Cuban cinema and developed based on the visual legacy of the Cuban poster school.

[New Project]
I was walking through São Paulo when I spotted a newly opened bar called Cajá. The bar had no logo, no sign, nothing—but it did have one thing: a cheerful bird singing upstairs. That became the primary inspiration for this logo and the project's overall design.
As this was a personal project, I had freedom to explore new possibilities, but I also faced the challenge of being my own client and finding myself in a position familiar to designers: never feeling that the work is truly finished.
Being your own client is such an accurate way to put it, that's exactly the trap. The bird stamped across the napkins and bread cloth already feels lived in. What made you finally decide it was done enough to post?
