Challenge

A self-authored book exploring a single question, what to do with a drop of ink that falls on a sheet of paper. Rather than illustrate an answer, the challenge was to let typography itself perform the thinking, turning words like "pingo," "sombra," and "liberdade" into the very shapes and gestures they describe.

Solution

A red-cover, serif-titled volume in the same visual series as "A Escrita," it pairs a repeated opening line with pages that dissolve it into texture, letterforms that warp and drip, a scattered "g" arcing across black spreads, and a hand-built crossword of "associações." Type is the illustration throughout, with no photography, just words bent, stacked, and set loose to trace ink, shadow, freedom, and construction.

Success

Completed as a self-authored publication, "Processo Criativo" stands as a personal record of experimenting with type as a medium for thinking through the creative process itself.
