Daniel Bueno
The Narrow Corridor

Editorial

Commissioned | Professional

Why did you make this work:
I had to make the cover of Ilustríssima, a cultural section of Folha de S. Paulo newspaper.The illustration should be based in an article about the book The Narrow Corridor, not yet released in Brazil, but trendy in the academic world. The narrow corridor is one in which nations enter with a balance between the powers of the State and society, an ideal situation for development.

How was the illustration used:
Cover of Illustrissima, Folha de S. Paulo, Brazilian newspaper

How did you make this work:
I conceived two arms - democracy and dictatorship - pointing in different directions, crossed by lines of graphs that suggest divergent economic situations. This crossing generates tension and highlights the opposition between democracy / dictatorship and also the questioning of the text.I played with digital textures as small elements related to dictatorship and democracy.
