Cover design for É tudo coisa da minha cabeça ("It's all in my head"), a book of poems by Roberto Martins, published by Toma Aí Um Poema.
The full head. The cover is a collage of what's inside it: a sunglasses smiley, a sneaker, an hourglass, a flip phone, a cassette tape, a camera, a toy dinosaur, a cartoon princess, a duck, a dress — objects of a 2000s adolescence, piled up in hot pink, yellow and blue, with the printing misregistration that lets the colours bleed into one another. Over the top, the title in thick crooked letters, each cut a different way, like a magazine clipping.
Screen-print colours. Pink, yellow and navy blue, flat and overlaid, with the registration deliberately off — the technique of the cheap print, the T-shirt, the zine. The author's name in red, in the middle of the collage, like one more object.
Inside, the inventory. The endpapers repeat the objects in a pattern, blue and red on white. The open cover has the back in blue with the author's portrait and a second typographic block — "If I could I'd invite you, since I can't I'll tell you myself" — in the same lettering as the front; the flap carries two introductions, by Giovana Schubert and Letícia Moreira.
