Publication Design:
A Fresh Approach to Festival Guides

For the Festival Literário Maratona de Leitura, an annual event by the Câmara Municipal da Sertã, we developed a print program that serves as a compact and practical guide.

Since the 2023 edition, we have approached each edition by studying and organizing the information in a clear and accessible manner, which informs the design of a fresh layout.
This ensures that readers are effortlessly guided through the schedule of activities, guest speakers, and presentations.
