Escafandrista by Louraidan Larsen
The book Escafandrista brings together 144 chronicles written over ten years by the screenwriter and writer Louraidan Larsen. The stories were created from orality, from conversations the author holds with unknown people, from tales he hears on the streets and in public spaces. The book also has a preface by cartoonist Laerte Coutinho.
Like a scuba diver, the author is an investigator and lives in the depths, a place where he finds the subtleties and poetry of everyday stories. In graphic design, this dive is represented by the striking presence of blue on the cover as a counterpoint to the title in Gloucester aligned with the base of the book. For the text, FF Unit Slab was used, with square serifs, making an allusion to intimate writing on typewriters. The project was entirely printed in Pantone 072U.
This project won the Bronze medal at the Brasil Design Award 2021.
