This bilingual catalogue was published by the Instituto Cervantes in New York, introducing the work of seven Spanish artists and residents of the city. The idea was not to favor the work of any particular artist, and so a typographic motif was chosen. The cover seeks to convey the classic, eternal spirit of the Big Apple by using an elegant, uppercase, black-and-white Bodoni, in a vertical format. To grant Motion the dynamism it implies, the word was printed on the cover as well as on the sleeve that wraps the book’s bottom half. The word Motion actually moves since the jacket is printed with a slight displacement. Movement is further enhanced by the use of different paper textures. The difference between these different papers is subtle, as is the displacement between jacket and cover—enough to grant the cover the required visual dynamism and the minimal distraction. 

A poetic and subtle play of materials to express motion without relying on clichés.
