Este foi mais um trabalhinho pro workshop do tio Alarcão (nem sei se ele se importou ou não _quiçá gostou_ com o fato de chamá-lo assim...temos quase a mesma idade mas ele é um guru,entende?), tivemos que criar um layout de capa para uma manchete_ só um estudo, sem a arte final ainda. Mais uma vez os temas foram sorteados e cada um de nós ganhou uma manchete voltada para o público adulto e outra para o infantil... E eu acho que acabei misturando as duas coisas pois a crítica construtivíssima que recebi disse que no fim das contas a minha ilustração era muito "pueril" para um público adulto. Os meus temas eram:"Água,como viveremos sem ela?" (legenda sob o título: O mundo de olho no potencial do nosso Aquífero Guarani) e "Games fazem mal à saúde?"
E qual não foi a minha surpresa quando vi a capa da Época dessa semana na banca... É o Renato prevendo o futuro!
And how I got surprised when I saw this week's Época magazine on the store... It's Renato prevising the future!
Bem, ambas as publicações são de dar dó. Mas ao menos eu tenho a desculpa de que usei uma delas porque eram os JPGs que eu tinha em mãos.
Por força das circunstâncias eu não consegui refazer o layout e, aliás, estou devendo outros trabalhos também, uma vergonha. Se eu mesma me ajudar (botar Deus no meio seria sacanagem), quem sabe consigo algum tempo livre e faço um layout pro tema infantil com um garotinho bitolado num fighting-game-qualquer-da-vida se imaginando no futuro espancando mulheres na rua justificando que seriam prostitutas.
Coincidence
This was one more homework of uncle Alarcão's workshop (neither know if he got upset or not _maybe liked_ about being called this way by me...we have almost the same age but he is a guru,understand?) and we should create a layout magazine cover for a headline_just a study, not the final work yet. Once more the themes were raffled and each one got two headlines, one for adults and one for children magazines... And I think I ended mixing both things because the very helpful criticism I got said that my illustration was too puerile for adult readers in the end.
My themes were: "Water, how will we live without it?" (caption: The world looks at the potential of our Guarani aquiferous) and "Games are bad for health?"
Well,both publications deserve mercy. But at least I can excuse myself saying I've used one of them because were the JPG files I had.
The force of circumstances led me to not do the layout again and,moreover, I'm still owing other homeworks too,a shame. If I help myself (put God into this would be unfair) , maybe I get some spared time and do a layout about the kids theme, with a little narrow boy in an any-fighting-game-in-the-life imagining himself in the future beating women on the streets and justifying they would be prostitutes.*
(*about five academic students from high middle-class who beat a woman who worked as a maid and was wainting for the bus still in the evening because she lived in a far away village and needed to see the doctor next early morning. A taxi driver saw the barbarism and has denounced them, who tried to excuse themselves saying they thought she was a prostitute)
Discovering Miguel Gontijo's work was one of the coolest things from my last travel to the land-of-cheese-bread. If someone already knew him please forgive my ignorance for have just seen him now. His exhibition was called "Instruction Manual" and occupied a room of Casa dos Contos Museum*, in Ouro Preto. It was a pity it was empty, empty, because tourists were busier watching réis,cruzeiros,cruzados, cruzados novos,etc. All inflation trajetory exhibited in the *First Brazil's paper currency factory.
