Nega Gizza


This is a record cover for the group Gizza which was created in 2003 by Veronica D'Orey, a self-taught graphic designer, from Brazil.

D'Orey said, "The tropics, the beach, the luxuriant forest and the monkeys by my window push me away from the high-tech, first world trend. For brazilian designers, there is a mix of popular, third world influences and vibes from the Northern Hemisphere. Trying to blend both worlds in a less than ideal situation means that a lot of improvising and creativity goes into making this possible. Gaining recognition for the practice of graphic design in Brazil and an appreciation of its value, continue to be a heroic undertaking."

What I like about this design is the concept of covering one's face and showing the hands clasped which symbolizes something I'm sure.
