Personal Project: Tales of the Black Bird
BOOK COVER DESIGN, PHOTOMANIPULATION
Writing holds a special place in my heart, and I am thrilled to share my inaugural novel, “Relatos del Pájaro Negro” (Tales from the Black Bird), published by Perro Gris in 2017. This collection of stories draws inspiration from the supernatural and eerie tales my relatives shared during my childhood. Within its pages, readers will encounter menacing ghosts and mysterious creatures of the night, narrated by enigmatic individuals capable of transforming into birds.
For the cover and art of this novel, I employed photomanipulation and digital ink techniques to seamlessly integrate animal images into black-and-white vintage photos. This approach aimed to evoke the nostalgic essence of the book while instilling a sense of wonder and mystery. It was a labor of passion that allowed me to fuse my love for storytelling with graphic design, resulting in images that capture the essence of the tales within.
