OVERVIEW
This series of fictional stories was created to teach children to be ecologically responsible and adopt sustainable practices to improve their natural environment. We explored different textures, maintaining a common visual identity for the collection, according to the central theme of each book: recycling, water, seeds, paper. We worked on the design of text and illustration in an integrated way to streamline the narrative flow and enhance the experience of readers.
This was designed during the period of my partnership at Estudio Versalete. My central role was to work on the typographic design of the book and its harmonic integration with the illustration. As in many of my other projects, I focus on working with typography to visually reflect the content’s inner rhythms.
