EXITUS o qué decir de la muerte
Final Project Master’s Degree in Graphic Design
What is death? There is no society, territory, culture or era that has not asked itself this question. Death implies mystery, sadness, time? But also absurdity, festivity or total indifference. This book aims to visually explore the edges of this concept that we all have in mind, although nobody really knows about it. More than answers, this book aims to ask questions. Questions that try to bring us closer to death as what it is: an unknown. EXITUS is an experimental book that explores the author's intimate vision of the concept of death. Therefore, the author asks herself a series of questions about death, which she tries to explore and answer through visual thinking and graphic design.

NATUS
Final Project Bachelor of Design
NATUS is a fruit company located in Fraga, on the border between Catalonia and Aragon. For more than 50 years it has been growing and distributing fresh summer fruit. A family business, but with an international vocation, it is always committed to high quality and excellence in its products. This year, the Ministry for Ecological Transition approved the Royal Decree on Packaging and Waste which prevents the sale of 1.5kg fresh fruit with plastic packaging. For this reason, a redesign of the packaging system, a new graphic identity and a change in its values and positioning are being proposed. Through a campaign at points of sale, the aim is to encourage buyers to consume more healthy, local and seasonal produce.

BLOOM, Representació del fantàtic món de les plantas a través d’un sistema tipogràfic
Final Project Master’s Degree in Graphic Design
What if it were true that plants communicate telepathically? Almost 60 years ago, the American Cleve Backster, an expert in the use of polygraphy in Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) interrogations, discovered by mistake that plants were capable of perceiving certain stimuli related to pain, sounds and even some form of telepathy. Accepting this possibility as a premise, a context could be established between the scientific and the purely illusory to develop a typographic system that somehow responds to these sensitive qualities that Mr. Backster's experiments illuminated in relation to communication between plants. This is what BLOOM is all about, to develop a typographic system that brings us closer to the extraordinary world of plants.
