SOUVENIRS — a limited edition,
art book travel memoir

SOUVENIRS is Marina Esmeraldo’s first art book.

With new original drawings, film photography, poetry and the occasional recipe, the book features a collection of her travel memoirs since childhood, reflecting on the themes of belonging, growing up, and the timeless relationship between culture and food.

Designed by Pol Pérez & Judit Musachs, this is a limted edition artefact, conceived to work as an art object in itself, taking the reader through a journey through places, memories, colours and textures.

Every detail of the book was designed to connect with the concept of a travel souvenir, including these bright headbands of different colours, alluding to the magpie nature of our  collections of travel artefacts.

CUSTOM TYPEFORM

One of my favourite things about Pol & Judit’s design for the book is how they created a custom typeform for titles with the shapes I created for the cover.

SKETCHES & PHOTOGRAPHY

I also love how they breathed new life into my sketches by displaying them in fresh, contrasting colourful spreads.
