Lili reinventada: redesign do livro Lili Inventa o Mundo

Abstract

This paper presents an approach to the production of children’s books, from the definition of its contents to the ways in which that contet will be organized on its pages. Besides that, we also worked on the actual making of the book, which includes the definition of the printing processes, the kind of paper that would best fit the project and the alternatives for putting the book together. For those matters, we chose to re-design the children’s book Lili inventa o mundo, by the poet Mario Quintana. Methodological and theorical aspects of book designing and making were also taken into consideration in the development of our project. We present a different approach to book designing and making, because not only did we present a re-design, but we also re-arranged the poems, changing their order of appearance, so design, illustrations and content would be more connected, making the reading process, the understanding of the book, more significant. We also did some market research, in order to reach the public’s expectations. As a result of our research, we managed to develop a more interesting, more captivating book, that would best fit the needs of young readers.
