SOFIA VIOLATO

Hey there! I’m a graphic design grad from the University of Hertfordshire who loves trying out different creative approaches. Over the past few years, I’ve picked up experience both in uni and in the field, helping me shape a design style that’s all about original ideas and thoughtful problem-solving. Feel free to take a look around and see what I’ve been up to!

1. Upside Down Gallery

+ Branding
+ Visual Identity
+ Brand Strategy

Upside Down Gallery aims to repurpose the currently abandoned North Woolwich Railway Station’s bulding as a creative gallery that promotes community and celebrates the area and its culture, which are shaped by its immigrant population. For that reason, the gallery proposes breaking the standard by centering its collection on diasporic artists. .

2. O espaço que ainda falta para caber

+ Poster Design

Bienal’s poster developed for the course Correspondência Gráfica lectured by studio Anna’s.

3. Skreppa Bakery

+ Branding
+ Visual Identity

Skreppa is a bakery dedicated to keeping Icelandic traditions alive. They specialise inHverbrauð, a local delicacy in Iceland that dates back to the settlement period, and is believed to have developed due to the lack of firewood and fuel resources. It involves placing rye dough in a covered container, burying it in hot geothermal soil near hot springs, and letting it bake slowly for up to 24 hours. The result is a dense, sweet, and slightly caramelized bread.

4. The Age of Earthquakes

+ Print
+ Poster Design

The Age of Earthquakes is a three-layered poster inspired by the book of the same name by Shumon Basar, Douglas Coupland and Hans Ulrich Obrist. The book is an experimental exploration of the rapid change the world has undergone in the past years and is set to undergo in the next years due to the advancement of technology. To convey its message in a poster, a quote from the book was used in constrast with a variety of analog techniques.

5. The First Shaman

+ Activism
+ Web Design
+ Motion

The First Shaman is a narrative-based website that introduces the Yanomami society and culture through their own perspective to an English Speaking public. Rather than just denouncing the widespread damage the West’s exploitation of the Amazon forest has caused to their people, the digital narrative offers an opportunity for the audience to immerse themselves in the otherness of Yanomami cosmology.
