Cover design for Poesias de busão ("Bus poems"), the debut of poet Marcos Marinho (PK), published by Toma Aí Um Poema.
The word is the bus. BUSÃO is written vertically, in fat irregular letters, with two wheels sprouting from the B and the O — the title becomes the vehicle, seen from the side, climbing the page. A white offset behind the letters gives the impression of movement, of judder, of misaligned printing. "Poesias de" runs alongside, also vertical, in a light sans serif.
Yellow and blue. The colours of urban signage, of the bus destination board, of the uniform. Just two, flat, with the white of the offset. The author's name at the top, in blue, lowercase. The TAUP colophon in the corner.
The open cover. A navy-blue back with the author's portrait and the poem "Eu andalírico"; a yellow flap with the introduction, signed Iancoski.
