Creating the cover of a moving book
(Bilingual post – English below)
Ayer llegó el cartero y me puse a leer hasta la última página el nuevo libro “Violencia sexual” de Álvaro Botias, inspector de Policía Nacional en Málaga, cuya portada tuve el honor de crear hace algunas semanas.
El libro, que trata de un caso real, destaca la importancia de denunciar et de colectar las pruebas lo más rápido posible para que la investigación criminal tenga un final feliz (el arresto del violador).
Una obra emocionante y llena de sensibilidad.
Los beneficios derivados de la vente están destinados a la Fundación Diabetes CERO.

Yesterday, the new book “Violencia sexual” by Álvaro Botias,
police inspector of the National Police in Malaga (Spain), was in the mail, and
I could not stop reading until I reached the last page. I had the
honour of creating the cover some weeks ago.
The book, which deals with a real case, stresses the
importance of reporting and collecting evidence as quickly as possible, so that
the criminal investigation has a happy ending (the arrest of the rapist).
A moving story, written with great sensibility.
The proceeds from the sale will go to the Fundación Diabetes CERO.
Wow, you did the cover, that's wonderful! Not a light subject matter though...
ReplyDeleteIt is not a light subject and it is an actual one. I liked the idea of illustrating a real case and helping to spread the message that denouncing is the key to get some protection (and the aggressor arrested).
