Rui Almeida — Lisbon, Portugal

For the future, and I can see now the start of that, designers will join creative forces, building creative communities like LX Factory in Lisbon and Fabrica de Santo Thyrso in the north of Portugal, where fashion designers, product designers, small shops, events, workshops all coexist in one place. This centralisation of "design entertainment" brings the population closer, not only to the design product and design author but also, and most important, to the creative process.

Rui has been working as a freelance graphic designer since 2011, work mostly in vector and in all graphic areas, preferably identity, print, illustration. Loves travelling, urban art toys and motorcycles, all these things could be Rui’s instant extra design inspiration for his work which comes from primary colours and geometric and clean lines.
