Mundaú: sabores da laguna: proposta de um livro-card como agente valorizador das receitas da Lagoa Mundaú, através do Design, Gastronomia, Ilustração e Etnografia

Abstract

This work addresses the relationship between four different areas (Design, Gastronomy, Ethnography and Illustration) with the aim of developing an artifact that values the ingredients and cuisine of the Mundaú Lagoon. These recipes were selected through an ethnographic survey carried out during the project's information phase, covering the municipalities of Coqueiro Seco, Maceió and Santa Luzia do Norte. This survey culminated in the production of a product that visually translates the lagoon's gastronomic potential through illustrations. A total of 24 recipes make up the collection of illustrated cards, designed and developed in the form of a card-book based on graphic studies carried out during the design phase, which gave the product an identity and harmony through editorial methods, combining graphic elements and illustrations, guaranteeing the proposed end goal and raising the profile of the actors who helped directly or indirectly with the project, be they fishermen, shellfish gatherers, beekeepers, chefs or residents of the Mundaú Lagoon region.
