Visual communication
Typography
The emphasis on the typographic education of its students has always been a defining feature of the superior school for visual communication ProDiseño, of which Romero is a founding member. His skill in harmonizing the written text and its formal vehicles derive from his instruction as a graphic designer (1989-1993) and a journalist (1995-2000). Under these lines, a few examples of Romero’s work.
Promotional posters for cultural
and academic events.
Design and calligraphy: Evan Romero. Included

Editorial design
Among the many magazines printed by Gruner+Jahr, geo Saison stands out for its discrete graphic sophistication. Under the guidance of Astrid Borowski –a former student of Germany’s first art director, Willy Fleckhaus–, Romero conceived several layouts for this travel monthly. Before that, he worked at tina (Bauer Media Group) and healthy living (Life & Health).
