Peaceful, calm, quiet
We are Plácida, a graphic design studio specialising in visual identity, editorial design and packaging. We work through graphic synthesis, bringing concept and form together to create effective, contemporary communication for companies and institutions.
We work from Salobreña, a small whitewashed town on the southern Mediterranean coast. A peaceful, calm and quiet setting, away from major industrial centres, where we develop projects for clients around the world.
We are Javier Zamora and Loreto Troyano. Our small-scale structure allows us to work closely with our clients and be actively involved in every stage of the process. Our team grows and adapts to the needs of each project, bringing in professionals who complement our work in fields such as photography, illustration, web development and architecture.
We collaborate with cultural institutions on projects that promote art and heritage. Our work includes exhibitions, books, art catalogues and institutional identities, with careful attention to detail to enhance the cultural and visual value of each project.
