A Microworld: an Ornamental Filament Contaminates the Surface

Poster and publication realised as the outcome for the last project related to moulds and science. The whole project can be seen as a metaphor for the moulds’ growth. The aim of the project is to make people look at moulds not just as waste, but as the natural and organic form of art they are. The poster is made of satin and there is a central embroidery, hand made. The publication is inspired by laboratory notebook, pieces of record every researcher and scientist write while experimenting. The booklet shows how the fake embroidered moulds grew on satin as if they were real and alive.

Daily Compulsions. The Dialogue Between Flatmates

Publication about the designer and her flatmate F's most personal behaviours, habits, and daily life obsessions. The book describes these private moments through pictures and small texts, written by the graphic designer and her flatmate. The publication is divided into three part: the first one analyses F’s obsessions, the middle one shows the apartment they shared, and the last one is about Giorgia’s own daily rituals.

Anonymous Objects Series

A Series of three small publications. The project aims to rethink about three common objects: receipts, price tags, and transportation tickets by scanning, cutting and using parts of them to create something meaningful and new. The project focuses on letters, numbers, and glyphs’ manipulation which are present on the printed objects themselves.

Giorgia Tonolo is an Italian Graphic Designer mainly interested in editorial design. She graduated at IUAV University in Venice in 2018. She has also experimented professional life for a year in Italy, where she learnt to deal with clients.

She is organised and determined, she offers refined and minimalistic design projects, based on a clear structure. During her master at the Glasgow School of Art, she experimented more, trying to break the mold. She changed her way of thinking, by starting designing and thinking through the making. As a matter of fact, this year helped her experiment with new printing and binding techniques. She experimented even more in her last project. Starting from a science experiment she made, she made some mould grow and then she decided to recreate their texture and shapes through the embroidery, learning it by making. This experimentation lead to the realisation of a fabric poster and a small publication.

She worked on different topics, from daily psychological obsessions to moulds and science to common and anonymous objects. She changed her approach to the graphic design field, by focusing more on conceptual works, based on a strong visual language. In the future, she would like to deepen the type design field, as part of her passion for book design.
