BA Major Design Semester
2021/22 SS The project “Learning From The Street Market started with an exploration of the street market of our towns. Looking at the signs made by the merchants, each student was inspired to design a new typeface, suitable for the street market atmosphere. “Offerta!” finds its roots in a clothing stall in Belluno, and comes in 3 different versions: light, bold, and with the inline.








A project made in the course
Mettere le mani nella terra
The impact of humankind’s anthropogenic activities, from soil erosion to ocean warming and the extinction of numerous species, has changed the global ecosystem, bringing the Earth into the Anthropocene era. Starting from this context, we proposed the idea of “starting from the Earth”, in order to rethink the relationship between mankind and nature, to listen to the real world and experiences external to our design habits, to rethink our work tools.
