Passport Review
The counterfeiter experience for Expo Milano 2015
Graphicus is a magazine covering the world of communication, curated by the Department of Architecture and Design at the Politecnico di Torino. For their travel issue, the editorial team asked us to share Bellissimo’s experience as passport designers, referring to our project for the souvenir passport of Expo Milano 2015.
You can read the article online on the Graphicus website (issue no. 13). We discuss graphic design, printing techniques, showcase some international case studies, and reflect on our relationship with what the historian and philosopher Hannah Arendt, upon receiving her US passport, called “the most beautiful book in the world.”
