Projects

• The New York Times Sunday Review. ChinaThree illustrations for The New York Times Sunday Review on the 70th anniversary of the Chinese revolution. Art Direction by Frank Augugliaro.
• Shifter SansShifter Sans is an open-source display typeface that is being designed as one of the cornerstones of the rebranding effort by Portuguese independent media company Shifter. The typeface was conceived as both vehicle and symbol for how Shifter defines itself: cooperative, creative, independent. The new Shifter logo is also set in Shifter Sans. The project was art directed by João Ribeiro and Daniel Hoesen. It was released under a SIL Open Font License.
