Mayonnaise Sandwich

July 2026
Created at the Porto Design Summer School,
in collaboration with João Dias and Zuzanna Jadwiga Wrona

In exploring the lost and found dynamic of the stories – selections from Paul Auster’s True Tales of American Life – the design fixes on and plays with the idea of interruption. The constant interrupting visual element is the page architecture. Digging into the stories for added content led the team to use Craigslist as a source for 'found' imagery, incorporating real life items and descriptions mentioned in the provided stories into the overall narrative.
