## Tom Sóyer. Little yellow book

Each year, the Book and Culture Festival of Medellín (Colombia) publishes the "little yellow book", a series of short adaptations of universal literature classics. For 2017, the title chosen was Mark Twain's novel _Tom Sawyer_.

I was commissioned to create the illustrations for both printed and interactive/animated app.

## Brazil, guest country

In all previous editions, the guest at the Medellín Book Festival was usually a city. In 2017, for the first time, there is a guest country: Brazil, which assisted with a delegation of almost 100 people, more than 6,000 literary titles, but also a variety of talks of authors, samples of gastronomy, cinema and music of the largest country in South America.

I was commissioned to create the brand image and a set of icons representatives of Brazil.
