Design gráfico e representatividade negra no livro ilustrado : análise da obra Benedito

Abstract

Although there are many illustrated books in which black people are represented published in Brazil, after the enactment of Law number 10.636/03, which made obrigatory the teaching of African and Afro-Brazilian history and culture in schools, the society still sees these works with estrangement. Knowing this, the combination of the use of graphic design principles and the history of the representation of black people in the illustrated book, gives rise to the possibility of contributing to the knowledge of the elements of black culture through the images present in the work. In this sense, this work analyzes a picture book that portrays Afro-Brazilian culture. For this, the fundamentals of graphic design were used, together with the methodology of Evelyn Goldsmith (1979), it analyzes an image from the present symbols, considering factors such as unity, location and emphasis.
