Messe
This photography book explores five Swiss fairs.
The everyday
During this Master, I have worked on two photography projects where I search for the illusion in everyday life versus a series of sets and objects I build in the studio.
Pícara
Pícara is a bookish text typeface, a tool for graphic designers, which draws its roots from 18th century Spanish type design.
Bootycelli
Bootycelli is a one shot magazine focused on the body and beauty.
Alberto&Claudia
Alberto&Claudia is a type design project specifically aimed at the contemporary editorial scene.
The Derby Club
My project is a small family of typefaces which tries to embed into a type design project the contrasted and idiosyncratic sides of football and its supporters, oscillating between two sides of the same coin.
Mamertus
Mamertus is a typeface family inspired by the work in the kitchen garden. It is dedicated to dirty hands, sharp tools and the priceless independence of growing one’s own food.
Screen Magazine
Julia Andréone diploma project
2013
Transvercity/跨城市 is a typographic project about the cultural desire between the East and West.
This work is a collaboration between a fashion designer and two graphic designers.
In 2010 I met my father for the first time at the age of 23. Besides the difficulty of imagining him as a father figure - since no images of him had accompanied me so far- a cultural and identity barrier was added, due to his Spanish roots.
Firefighter, astronaut, ballerina... What happened to your childhood dream?
My diploma project is a report on Dubaï inhabitants, examined through the lense of cars.

Spheres
The first issue of the magazine Spheres is a creative collaboration between Melanie Bonajo and Philippe Karrer. Each issue is dedicated to the work of a young artist.
Flight Launching Monuments
Complex and monumental, ski jumps are constructions
that have a strong impact on their landscape and their environment.
La Vallée
My project has for theme the Vallée de Joux and its
relationship with the watch industry. I have photographed the various aspects of the place, showing them from an unusual perspective.
Adventice 01 — An Issue About Architecture and Nature
Adventice is an editorial project which concentrates on the confrontation of different topics, highlighting the tension between conflicting subjects.
2011
Gaijin
I usually find it hard to speak about myself. I always stumble in the paradoxes of “who am I?”. In terms of factual information, I surely appear to be the most well informed person about my own self.
Four Corners
I decided to create an “architectural” publication. My
rational is to reclaim the word architecture from within
the realms of professional discourse, and examine
its juxtaposition between this and everyday life.
TM SGM RSI 1965-1985
The Typographische Monatsblätter has enjoyed a long life, or rather many different lives. Established more than 70 years ago, the magazine has witnessed very important moments in the history of typography and graphic design.
Les sentiments positivés
Out work for the master is a collection of many independent series of images. Through selected themes we have aimed to create a genre of photography based upon a variety of shapes, colours and material.
