Vanessa Zúñiga Tinizaray:
Whispers from the Andes
A typographic-dingbat journey through the little-know stories of the original cultures that inhabited the Andes. Vanessa Zúñiga develops her design from the semiotic and morphological analysis of the archaeological pieces’ visual signs. Then she translates them into a contemporary graphic universe, where geometry plays a very important role.
