SUANI This work was done for a subject of the Master about Editorial Design.

This publication is free and independent with an experimental character, where I share my concept of surrealist animals.

Along with the entire photographs, a new typographic font was designed to accompany the fantastic universe created.

The typographic font is a project that I will continue to develop in the future.

It was a winter day in Munich and I was walking right in to the center of the city.

In the distance I saw a giant lizard that quickly reached the top of the largest church in the capital of Bavaria.

A strange and beautiful view of a rare animal in those areas.

In Budapest I woke up very early to visit one of the most famous monuments in the city. Among photographs and laughter at the Fisherman's Bastion, I saw his legendary guardian: The Gecko.

He likes to hide under monuments and in holes, when he wanders around the city he lets tourists admire him.

With its vivid color exalted by the few rays of sunlight on the horizon, this wonderful animal moved away gracefully to its hiding place, leaving the few tourists present with a great memory of Budapest.

In Berlin, in the emblematic television tower, the tallest building in Germany, I saw a lizard half chameleon half rhinoceros, an animal that I had never seen before and in a very peculiar place. Rising to the top of the tower, I assumed he was resting enjoying

the sunny day that was in the city.

There he remained, now being an even bigger attraction than the tower itself. All the tourists who saw him quickly got their eyes fixed on that animal that stayed there relaxing.

Strolling through my hometown, in Alentejo, on a beautiful spring day it was in the middle of the vegetation, in an abandoned windmill that I realized that something had taken over its walls. A family of giant melons had made that old place their new home, modifying the interior and using its power to fly to bring the mill to life.

Still in Alentejo, in Alqueva, in that great extension of water, I noticed the existence of exotic animals. These species were known for their physical difference, because even if they fulfill the chromatic palette of the land, their portions are really magnificent.

In Agusburg, city where I lived for 6 months, one day during my walk I saw a group of meerkats. These have a very peculiar characteristic, they only have one eye. An eye so big that it covers their entire face,

very attentive to everything that surrounds them, these meerkats stay in the middle of the park giving the light of their grace, being very sympathetic and friendly with all who pass by them.

I invite you to visit Mértola, which is the place where this giant green snake was spotted enjoying the summer heat.

Now have you ever imagined yourself in the middle of this magnificent zoological garden that is Europe through my eyes?
