Record of all the graphic work — down to the detail and the things left unfinished — that I developed throughout that academic year, even though school projects were not the majority.

I wrote and composed this book following a briefing from the Project course, geared towards the conception of a portfolio, a showcase of work, through a graphic object whose form is committed to its function: with the very character of our work.

Instead of selecting my favourite works from years past, or the most relevant ones, or those that had the most followers, I felt very early on that the approach should avoid an immediate logic of self‑promotion, and instead have a slightly more literary, more autobiographical tone — at times contrite — exposing mistakes, flaws, always pointing towards a final idea, a kind of moral, of wandering, of searching, of perpetually questioning what it means to be doing this rather than something else. I do take myself quite seriously, of course. The truth is, I think most designers Iʼve met take themselves almost none at all. Well, itʼs also true I wouldnʼt go to the trouble if I took myself that seriously.
