Middlebury Mag | Calligraphic Editorial
VIDEO DESCRIPTION (15min)
My creative practice is set by the principles of never stop learning, sharing knowledge and create emotion through my work.
Following these principles, I’m sharing with you the design process behind a Copperplate calligraphy editorial, recently awarded by TDC70 and Communication Arts Magazine.

Calligraphic Editorial + W Drop Cap Design
Calligraphic editorial commissioned by Pentagram, part of their full Middlebury Magazine redesign, including the magazine rename to just “Midd”.
The feature showcases a highly ornamented and fully customised pointed-pen calligraphy piece, displaying high contrast, angular attributes and a discontinuous ductus to match the energy and personality of the partner illustration by André Carrilho.
Copy: “We’re all just reading with one another” Elianna Ran’10 in conversation with professor Stephen Donadio.
