RUFA Annual Report 2019
The annual report 2019 for the Rome University of Fine Arts (RUFA) was designed by Intorno Design (Guido Lombardo, Roberta De Cristofaro, Tommaso Salvatori) as a “journey among real projects, metareal landscapes, poetic thoughts between past and future, on the edge of the possible”. The hardcover book comes in a white offset striped paper slipcase, and is printed in five spot colors on ecological FAVINI papers, sourced from wool and cotton processing waste.
The design uses Lausanne (by Nizar Kazan) throughout, changing styles, colours, weights and alignments from time to time.
Meridians and parallels of the pages indicate its structure and define its navigation.
The columns of Italian and English texts are always facing each other, dialoguing with each other.
The insert, printed in one color on sky-colored paper, collects the story of the 2019 RUFA Contest.
Throughout the publication, full-page calligraphy rewrites some poetic verses. Blue, with its powerful symbolic meaning, is the dominant color.
