What everyone knows:
The whole thing began when I was only 14 years old. I used to be a member of a journalism club at school and by that time I have been invited to become the club’s director. Actually, that was the only club directed by a student. It means that I was responsible for all the things we did in that club, such as organizing interviews, coordinate the photography and post production teams; make the decisions about graphism, page design, final composing, final model print and photocopies (in a total of 250 newspapers at every 1,5 months). At the age of 14. Not only this made me change my behavior and my attitude towards graphic and digital art, but also had some influence on what my job would be. On the other hand, I had the chance meet a lot of different people. Maybe the best work that our team has done by that time was the official interview with the Portugal Telecom Basketball Team during a basketball related sport event in order to promote this very sport as an alternative to football. Well, considering the amount of work, its quality and our ages… this was NOT a naif kind of task at all.
Today I am a graduated Graphic Designer - 1st Class Bachelor of Arts (considering the British Education Level) or Doctor (if you consider the Continental/European Education Level), though I do not really like anyone to use that tittle with me.
Since 2003, I have beeen working for a wide range of clients and friends.

Back in 2004/2005, I had the chance to work with a Portuguese band called “Icon and the Black Roses”. This band happened to be the Best Portuguese Glamour-Metal band in 2005. Band members like Sebastian Noir (Bruno Raimundo) are still being my friends.

All those that have been involved or helped Icon And The Black Roses before and during the release of their first album (me included - and my name appears in the “special thanks” section of that very album) have recieved both link and written authorization to download and broadcast the video of InPurity in blogs and video blogs in order to support/promote a new band and project called “Urban Tales”.
That video is now featured in my personal Video-Log in You Tube since December 2006 (some time after the videoshoot) :

Video upload in this account happens at everytime I have expressed written authorization/permission from both band members and/or band managing members so there are absolutely no conflicts with any artists’ copyrights.
Urban Tales were also invited to create the International Hymn for the “Rare Diseases Association” - an association that helps people with rare diseases.

Back in February 2007, the ambition for trying something different and more adequate to my standards brought me to London. During the last nearly eight moths I have been associated to two companies:
Web Booking Solutions website suggestion - after this suggestion, this company offered unpaid work, which I have promptly rejected.
And finally: One Call Local http://www.ocgbs.com - 6 months contract with a Building and Interior Design company based in Wandsworth, London SW18.
By creating all this company’s entire corporate image (logo, website layout, van decoration, complete stationary, business cards) and marketing (press advertisements in the following magazines: SW-Southwest Mag, RISE, The Resident, Fabric, Westminster and ProfileMag real estate magazine; creating web banners and promotional leaflets distributed in zones like: Putney, Balham, Barnes, Southfields, Wimbledon, South Wimbledon and Fulham), we have found out that the monthly amount this company could generate every month was of nearly a quarter million pounds sterling.
Find the project here.
Conclusion: advertising at a high level works.
