RUFA Annual Report 2018
The white envelope, precious and still to be written, contains two volumes full of content.
The annual report 2019 for the Rome University of Fine Arts (RUFA) was designed by Intorno Design (Guido Lombardo, Roberta De Cristofaro, Tommaso Salvatori). This edition is dedicated to the memory of the first twenty years that have passed since the foundation stone was laid to build the creative melting pot that today is the Academy. The intent is to celebrate the continuous renewal of the original impulse, narrating the main projects and events of the past year.
The design uses several members of the Sang Bleu series by Swiss Typefaces, namely Empire, Sunrise, and Kingdom. The typography brings elegance and delicacy to a design with an almost nostalgic appearance.
In 2020, this edition of RUFA Annual Report won a Silver Award at the European Design Awards.
The first volume, in pocket format, includes in a single collective voice twenty testimonies of some of the protagonists of the years from 1998 to 2018.
The second is developed horizontally and evokes the old family albums, both in format and in visual content. The photographs also refer to the traditional albums through the shots of the “professional families RUFA”, from the schools of the different departments to the staff of the Academy.
The central insert is dedicated to the RUFA Contest and is printed in monochrome on Favini Crush Kiwi recycled paper.
The book is printed in five colors (CMYK plus Pantone silver) and uses six types of paper. The use of typography and the layout of the book is a mixture of elegance and experimentation. Taking risks to generate innovation is one of the characteristics of the Academy. The same can be said of the annual report.
