Work

Horusay explores all the possibilities to express concepts through images, giving the same importance both to aesthetics and functionality.

The studio mainly deals with visual identities, posters, editorial projects and websites. This portfolio collects some of them, to proudly show the artifacts, the process that led to the choices made, and, sometimes, the implication of multiple disciplines.
