Sticker Design, Typography & 3D

“Nasci para …” is Portuguese for “Born to …”,
inspired by the saying “I was born to do this” but leaving a blank field meant to be mentally written and thought of. Whenever the person looks and wants to ponder on their current point of life, they can fill in the blank.
Creating a Sticker with "all the time in the world".
This Sticker reflects on the human experience of being expected to know what we "want to do with our lives" from the very beginning.
However, I believe that we are not born with solely a single purpose in life, and instead our purpose, and what drives us forward, changes as we grow as individuals.
Thus, giving life to a new golden spark every so often. Keep on growing and shining!

The sticker design underwent multiple iterations to balance the legibility of the hand-drawn typography with its abstract shape. This process also evolved the sticker's shape, ultimately resulting in a curvy form framed by a sharp golden stripe.
During printing, I fine-tuned the colors by printing side-by-side versions and tested different papers to find one that best matched the sticker’s high-contrast composition.
Once finalized, I achieved a golden effect by hand-painting each sticker
with golden Posca and gold calligraphy ink, then laminated them with a transparent sheet preserving the painted ink and protecting the design.
The final result is a vibrant, polished sticker that stands out boldly from the initial concept.
Making a Music Visualizer for a Sticker.
I wanted to elevate this sticker by creating an animated video that captured its bold details and textures. To do this, I imported the design into a 3D model, turning a flat sticker into a dynamic, dimensional piece.
Once the model was ready, I made a looping smooth turnaround animation, and lit the scene to compliment the composition's colors and highlights.
For the video's audio, I teamed up with Gabriel Bôtto, the talented music producer who composed an original track that matched the sticker’s fiery energy and message.
I’ve asked Gabriel to share a few words about his creative process in crafting the music for this project…
- Gabriel Bôtto:
The idea came to me to create a UK Drill type beat that would be playing in a loop.
This sound is a very popular subgenre of hip-hop/rap from the United Kingdom, with crystal clear snares on top of the beat and heavy sub-bass/808s below, often doing the melodic part as well.
We focused on just building the beat, with no other instruments on top and some effects. The result is a 140bpm bass-heavy beat, with metallic snares, loud distortion, and a coin sound fx as ear candy, just for a change.

Our combined efforts resulted in an engaging music visualizer — a shiny, immersive video that brings out the sticker’s personality.
