Design With Attitude

A project that explores design as a catalyst for reflection, transforming information into meaningful, socially engaged communication.

Developed during the Master’s in Graphic Design and Editorial Projects at FBAUP, this project investigates the power of design as a medium for transmitting ideas, provoking thought, and questioning societal norms.

 

Designers possess a unique ability to shape and circulate information, actively contributing to public discourse. Beyond aesthetics, design holds the responsibility to engage with social and controversial themes, fostering awareness and dialogue.

 

This book underscores the relevance of the designer’s role in contemporary society — not as an author, but as an interpreter. The designer becomes the one who gives form, voice, and visibility to content, turning it into a tangible and communicative experience.
