Editorial Design
CCC — Catania Civitas Civitatis is a thesis project developed within the Master in Visual Communication and Art Direction at Abadir. The project investigates how editorial design influences the perception of visual content through the development of three distinct volumes, each exploring a different relationship between form, structure, and meaning.

The first volume adopts a large format and introduces the students’ projects through a sequence of double-page spreads. Images follow a conventional reading flow, yet reveal new compositions when individual sheets are extracted, shifting the experience from linear to spatial and questioning the stability of visual narration.


The second volume gathers all the photographic material into an A6 format, functioning as a compact visual archive. By bringing the projects together into a single sequence, the focus moves from individual narratives to the collective body of work, offering an overview based on accumulation and rhythm.









The third volume explores form as an active design tool. Each project takes shape through an autonomous output, defined by its own format, grid, paper, layout, and reading mode. The result is an open and layered system in which content is continuously reinterpreted, demonstrating how form becomes a vehicle of meaning rather than a neutral container.
