Na Juventude Está o Prazer, Delton Welch +
Creative Process
For this book cover I did some experimentation. Photo collages started it all, but I also played with real flower arrangements, photographed and later cutted into the cover, handwritten letterings, until we reached the final cover with a strong nod to nature, Escher’s graphic motifs and minimalism.
Book Design & Illustration of the first published book from the uprising Portuguese Publisher, Figura d'Urso. For this project I had complete creative liberty and was responsible for the cover art, inside illustrations and complete book layout.
This book is essentially a sensorial narrative of a 15 year old boy exploring his surroundings, his mind and body. A delicate, sensitive and, at times, provocative story that found its first Portuguese Edition in the summer of 2018.
