Who?
Albino Tavares is a designer focusing on designing books and identities. He approaches design as a content-driven and collaborative process with room for visual experimentation. He believes communication design actively works for communities to flourish, by shaping the way messages and stories are spread, by enhancing their content and formally defining the way they come to life.
