Visual Identity

Igor Arume (b. BR, 1991) is a designer1, visual artist, researcher2 and collector3 based in Rio de Janeiro working at the multiple intersections between graphic design, publishing4 and printmaking5.



  1. His design practice focuses primarily on typography, editorial design and identity.
  2. His research interests range from design history and designer as author to media archeology and the transformations of graphic design labor through the means of production and technology.
  3. He collects stencil printed material culture – specially printed in Risograph duplicators – since 2012 at Riso Ephemera︎︎.
  4. He investigates critical issues within the fields of design and media like appropriation, found image and publishing as artistic practise in self-initiated projects.
  5. He is interested in exploring the aesthetic qualities, ideological potential and technical limits of stencil duplicators like the Risograph as a means of production for self-publishing and artists’ books, while pushing the boundaries of the printed medium.
