book graphic project by rex design, brazil

brazilian rex design studio created an unusual graphic project for ‘leituras descoladas’ published by editora biruta – a brazilian publishing house who specialize in children’s and early teen’s books. the collection is based on 6 books, each one written by a different author. the studio had in mind to create more than just a visual treatment or a series of regular illustrations. each book brings a parallel visual narrative, almost in a cinematographic way, subverting what we know as an early teen’s publication. ‘our idea was to propose a new paradigm of teen literature, more adjusted to their visual repertory and, at the narrative’, says gustavo piqueira of rex studio.
