FUERZA BOGOTOWN
FUERZA BOGOTOWN (GO BOGOTOWN) is a project inspired by the city of Bogotá and its vibrant culture. Through the fusion of popular culture and meme elements, it seeks to develop a new graphic proposal that challenges the idea of clean, academic design.
The project is made up of three parts: first, a mural and graffiti, which represent urban art in the city’s “dirty” and inhabited streets; second, posters featuring absurd situations and out-of-place elements, with no apparent logic; and third, a video that documents the experience of placing these posters in public space, creating a visual intervention that intentionally “contaminates” the streets.
It is all tied up by the creation of my, ski mask and swimming goggles bearer, design alter ego “lulupop”.

La Liga de “lo Mejor que Pudimos Encontrar A Última Hora”
On February 29, 2099, aliens invaded the world, including the small country of Columbia. To defend the planet, the UN unveiled a hidden project that could save humanity: Superheroes! The organization had been experimenting on humans, granting them powers in case of an emergency.
Sadly, the best superheroes were sent to defend the countries of the First World, leaving the Global South—including Columbia—with only a handful of failed experiments from the project. Thus, the Columbian government had to act quickly and assemble the best… of whatever they could find at the last minute.
The assignment for this project was to create original characters, with their own world and backstory, and from this develop banknotes and a fanzine. They are: League of the Best We Could Find at the Last Minute.
