UNLABELLED is my final master’s project in Communication Design. It is an XL fanzine that addresses gender stereotypes, presenting itself as a social design practice where, as a Designer, I was the author in all stages of its production: photo capture, editing, choice of content, paper choice, all the necessary steps for its silkscreen printing, binding and exhibition of the final result in the streets of Porto. A total of 16 silkscreened copies were produced.
See here the digital version.

All the photographic content was produced by me with the help of friends who volunteered to be photographed. These images were later transformed into bitmap and used in the spreads of the respective fanzine. The photos, before being edited for the editorial purpose, were part of an exhibition at a co-work in the city of Porto.
