Looking back on golden hours at the @surffilm beach session at Ribeira d’Ilhas: friends, good vibes, amazing pizza from @secretovenpizza , cold beer from @cervejanortada , and a sunset to remember. This year‘s visual identity for the Portuguese Surf Film Festival @surffilm is rooted in the colours of Ericeira – crisp white houses, bold blue accents, and orange rooftops. A minimal palette with maximum impact, designed to celebrate surf, film, and the spirit of the Portuguese coast. The result, a bold, cinematic identity – abstract, graphic, and memorable. . . . . . #visualidentity #ericeira #ericeiralovers #graphicdesign #festivaldesign #surfculture #cinematic #branddesign #merchandise #beachvibes #ribeiradilhas

Wrapping up the Portuguese Surf Film Festival @surffilm with a few glimpses behind the scenes, from my visual identity work to the Ocean Art Exhibition curated by @bibirigoli . The exhibition brought together sea-themed works from a range of artists, each interpreting the ocean in their own way. This year’s visual identity was inspired by the colors of Ericeira – white houses, bold blue accents, and sun-warmed orange rooftops. A stripped-back palette that aimed to feel cinematic, coastal, and distinctly Portuguese. Proud to have shaped the look and feel of this year’s festival – bold, minimal, and rooted in place. . . . . . #surffilmfestival #ericeira #visualidentity #ericeiralovers #editorialdesign #coastalculture #oceanartexhibition #artdirection #graphicdesign #branding

Earlier this year, I pitched concepts for @surffilm as part of my application for the graphic designer position. I presented several fictional design routes. One of them was THE BEAST: Dark, majestic, mysterious – the ocean as an untamed force of nature, elevated to a near-mythical presence with a thriller-style aesthetic. Muito obrigada to @vito.mqs for letting me use your incredible big wave shots straight from Nazaré. . . . . . #pitchwin #graphicdesign #surffilm #designconcept #bigwaveenergy #nazare #creativedirection #visualstorytelling

One of them was RIDING GIANTS: A bold yet nostalgic take – blending editorial clarity with vintage surf mag vibes. Celebrating the energy of big wave surfing. . . . . . #pitchwin #graphicdesign #surffilm #ridinggiants #vintageposterstyle #designconcept #bigwaveenergy #artdirection #creativedirection #visualstorytelling #editorial #surf

Earlier this year, I pitched concepts for @surffilm as part of my application for the graphic designer position, and they went for it 🙌🏻 I presented several fictional design routes. One of them was CHASING MONSTERS: A cinematic, almost apocalyptic take that frames the ocean as a collective spectacle – inspired by vintage film posters and the raw power of nature. Muito obrigada to @vito.mqs for letting me use your incredible big wave shots straight from Nazaré. . . . . . #pitchwin #graphicdesign #surffilm #chasingmonsters #vintageposterstyle #designconcept #bigwaveenergy #nazare #creativedirection #visualstorytelling

Lembras-te de quando estávamos à procura de um novo artista visual para se juntar à equipa? Finalmente, após uma ronda de entrevistas, escolhemos a nossa designer para 2025 e mais. Apresentamos a Katharina, uma maravilhosa lufada de ar fresco com a sua originalidade, vibração colorida e ética com alma. É uma diretora criativa freelancer, designer gráfica e surfista com um profundo amor pelo mar. Originária de uma pequena ilha no norte da Alemanha, Portugal foi um chamamento tal que a levou a estabelecer-se por cá. O facto de ter crescido junto ao mar continua a ser uma inspiração para ela e a alimentar a sua criatividade. Nas palavras da própria Katharina: “Estou verdadeiramente entusiasmada e honrada por ter sido escolhida para criar a identidade visual do 2025 Portuguese Surf Film Festival.” Do you remember when we were looking for a new visual artist to join the team? Finally, after a round of interviews, we have chosen our designer for the 2025 season and beyond. Introducing Katharina, who’s a breeze of fresh air with her originality, colourful vibe and soulful ethics. She is a freelance creative director, graphic designer, and surfer with a deep love for the ocean. Originally from a small island in northern Germany, Portugal had a such a call that she now is settled here. Growing up by the sea has remained an inspiration for her and to fuel her creativity. In Katharina’s own words: “I’m truly excited and honored to be chosen to shape the visual identity for the 2025 Portuguese Surf Film Festival.“ Find her: @rinagoeswild @kagodesign
