To strengthen the management of water resources based on citizen training through education, ProfCiAmb (Professional Master's Course in the National Network for Teaching Environmental Sciences) decided to produce and publish pedagogical materials based on research and work carried out, thus appearing the ProfCiAmb Collection.

The publication "Água e Sustentabilidade" (Water and Sustainability), comprising 4 volumes, was the first of the "Guias Educacionais" (Educational Guides) series in this collection.

In addition to creating the ProfCiAmb logotype, to be used as a brand for this collection, our studio was also responsible for the graphic design, illustrations and layout of the covers of these 4 volumes.

Process

The idea was to create a search and find cover illustration for each volume of the publication, consisting of several scenes of situations covered in the respective volume.

Below is the initial color palette and rough of the illustration and cover design for volume 2:

As the project progressed, the scenes and color palette were redefined:

  • Rough of cover illustration for volume 1
  • Rough of cover illustration for volumes 2 and 3

The title of the publication was also designed, with personalized lettering:

  • Rough of logotype
