Book Launch Presentation | 2024
Contos, Sonhos e Imaginações
Agustina Bessa-Luís
In spring 2024, I collaborated with Mónica to create an image-led presentation for the book launch of “Contos, Sonhos e Imaginações”.
The images, drawn from her personal archive, were carefully selected to highlight moments in the book, adding a visual layer to the story.
I arranged them to flow with the talk, sparking curiosity and guiding the audience with minimal text where needed.

Christmas Postcard
In December, I was commissioned to create a Christmas postcard featuring Mónica’s original hand-painted glove paired with a short text.
I went with a landscape format so the image and text had space to breathe, and made sure the type was large enough to read comfortably.
The envelope helped guide the postcard’s size and colours, and I chose the paper so the finished piece would feel just right in hand.
For the digital version, I kept the landscape format to align print and screen, making a few small layout tweaks and adding a logo stamp.
