Raúl Fernández

Freelance graphic designer

Spain
I'm a graphic designer, specialized in Editorial design: book, magazine and newspaper design.
I like very much typography, ortotypography, and history of visual communication. I think grids are the basic structure of graphic design, and I study grid history and applications. For all that, I think I make an specific kind of graphic design, and I call it textgraphic design: "graphic solutions involving both visual and textual ways of creating, working each parts equally".
