Se eu abrir esta porta agora... (2018): graphic-editorial project and reading perspectives

Abstract

his article aims to analyze the graphic-editorial project of the book Se eu abrir esta porta agora... (2018), by Alexandre Rampazo, in order to understand the scope of the effects of meaning in the relationship between form and content. In this way, we intend to observe how the graphic book design, when materializing the opening of the doors, in different ways, indicates different reading perspectives, according to the way, or on which side, such doors are opened. The graphic book design cited makes an emulation of doors that can be opened in different ways to the reader, also revealing different reading perspectives, according to the side in which these doors are opened. The door metaphor suggests an adventure hidden in each of them, which can be opened, unveiling mysteries, desires, fears and countless surprises. Winner of the FNLIJ 2019 Award, in the Child and Editorial-Project categories, the book stands out for its innovative and unusual character, offering the reader a fun proposal for the parallel universe woven between reality and fiction, encouraging him to face his fears and have courage to open each door, and consequently, to live a new literary experience.
