A six Year

A Six Year

Publication of the Study

Every year, the pivotal period between the last days of the year that is ending and the first days of the one that is beginning becomes a fertile time for creation. A multitude of images, videos and graphics crowds the atmosphere for several weeks, broadcasting corporate messages and good wishes from companies
and institutions.

Designers examine the digits composing the number that represents the new year, looking for features and shapes to make it more memorable and expressive.

At Estrada Design, we make the most of this transitional period in the calendar to take visual stock of the past year and select a few projects to represent it.

We are thus continuing with a series of annual publications to share our work with collaborators, design professionals and, above all, with the teams at companies and institutions who make the work possible.

Logos, Brands and Identity programs are an essential part of Estrada Design’s work every year.

These are projects whose intensity, scope and complexity cannot be reflected in this short, essentially visual selection.

But they remain the projects that best explain the activity of a company committed to demonstrating and reconciling design’s economic and business utility with its characteristic of being an expression of contemporary culture.

Another large part of Estrada Design’s activity is linked to this cultural and communicative dimension of design. This work is generally for Cultural institutions, Museums, Universities and public, social or cultural entities. 

These projects reveal another essential dimension of design: its public interest. Finally, this selection of projects also gives visual prominence to the importance of editorial design in our work.

Magazines, digital publications and, notably, book covers, continue to play a highly significant role as tools for visualisation and showcasing knowledge.

Thanks to their content and visual capacity, books continue to stand out as one of the flagships of the Cultural industry.

At Estrada Design, we are publishing this project summary at the beginning of 2026, which we hope will be a favourable period for human intelligence and good design.

2024. Good luck and good design

2024. Good luck and good design

A Publication from the Studio

Each year, at the end of December, we wish each other happiness and prosperity
like a rite of passage for the new year. A single number differentiates the newborn year from the previous one.

But even though it hasn’t earned it, we entrust the new year with all our good-luck wishes.

We start using a new calendar, which marks solstices and equinoxes, holidays and workdays. A roadmap for the next 366 days.

At Estrada Design, we like to start the new year wishing everyone “Good Design”.

And we like to accompany this wish with a brief summary of what we designed the previous year.

Read books, design covers

Read books, design covers

Editorial

Good covers complete books. They say something about the quality of the edition and the professionalism of the publishers. Covers enhance a book. I believe, therefore, that people who value a book also care about the covers and they may sway them when choosing one edition or another.

But I believe covers are also something else. They are the doors and windows of books, they make our browsing of bookstore new release tables easier and more pleasant.

They help us choose books and turn them into more beautiful and desirable objects. When I began designing covers, I did not think it was necessary to read the books. Yet, after designing several hundred of them, I realized that, with a few exceptions, the best covers I have designed are for the books I know best, that have moved me, or whose contents have interested me most.
