Volunteer firefighters association in Estarreja — 100th Anniversary Magazine Cover

Magazine cover designed for the 100th anniversary of a volunteer firefighters association in Estarreja, Portugal. A commemorative piece balancing institutional identity with a celebratory visual language.

Project Description

Designed for the centenary edition of a volunteer firefighters association magazine, the cover needed to honor the entire corps without placing any individual in the spotlight. After testing several approaches, the final direction embraced a raw, unfiltered aesthetic — letting the group photograph speak for itself, with minimal intervention.

The composition gives prominence to the association's logo and name in the top left corner, maintaining the visual identity, typography, and color palette developed for the 100th anniversary branding. The result is a cover that feels both institutional and celebratory, putting the collective front and center.
