MINISUPER STUDIO

With growing political tensions surrounding recent US-Mexican relations, MiniSuper Studio created this open source icon to signify the friendly partnerships that exist between these two countries. 
This symbol is used in an effort to promote unity between these cross-cultural neighbors.

Art deco design flourished in Mexico City’s Roma, Condesa and Centro Histórico neighborhoods in the late 19th and early 20th century, leaving a legacy of decorative window grates, tile patterns, balcony railings, and architectural embellishments that are still visible today.  



We created Lotería Deco (based on the popular Mexican board game Lotería) as a tribute to the stunning design details we observe on our daily walks through the city.
It’s not easy to call out these shapes while playing, but that’s part of the fun — the process was inspired by Sol Lewitt’s Wall Drawing Instructions.
Created in an edition of 110, we hand-printed the game on our antique Vandercook Universal I letterpress.
The week after a devastating earthquake rocked our offices in 2017, we had a hard time getting back to work. Physically, we were fine — lucky, based on the devastation surrounding us — but we were surprised to find that our fragile mental state made concentration close to impossible.
A quick Google search of post-traumatic stress symptoms assured us that our feelings were normal, even expected. Quickly, we compiled data for an informative poster, screen-printed it, and posted it in the streets of Mexico City to inform our fellow ciudadanos. 
The design project got us back on our feet while helping our community, too.


Reforma
Published by Buró—Buró

Mexico City’s most prominent boulevard, Avenida Paseo de la Reforma, is commonly referred to simply as “Reforma.” (In English, “Reform:” the same word used for changes in law). 
We documented the street name as expressed in signage along the avenue, resulting in a typographic essay that concurred with Mexico’s 2012 presidential campaign—a time when several important political reforms were being heavily debated.
Small, simplified maps show the “glorietas,” or roundabouts, of the avenue, with a small dot indicating the location of the sign. 
The covers were hand printed on our 1958 Vandercook Universal I letterpress.
