    paper The Girl Who Played With Wind (A Menina Que Brincava Com o Vento)

    This project showcases the complete editorial development and book layout for “The Girl Who Played with the Wind” (A Menina que Brincava com o Vento). The design strategy was focused on creating a visual rhythm that mirrors the story’s poetic nature, balancing white space with expressive typography to ensure a fluid and engaging reading experience for a young audience.
    ​The layout was meticulously crafted to establish a clear distinction between the character’s mundane reality and her vibrant imaginary world. This was achieved through a strategic use of grids and a carefully selected color palette that shifts in tone to reflect the narrative’s emotional arc, transitioning from the cool, isolated atmosphere of winter to the warmth of the protagonist’s creative escapes.
    ​In addition to the page composition, the project involved high-fidelity digital retouching and image processing to ensure visual consistency across the entire work. The final result is a sophisticated editorial piece that prioritizes clarity, aesthetic elegance, and a deep emotional connection between the text and the visual elements.
