This project was developed for the Christmas competition launched by Jornal de Notícias, one
of the more emblematic newspaper in Portugal. The challenge proposed to develop an
illustration alluding the Christmas season, adequate to be published on the first page of the 25th of December edition.
of the more emblematic newspaper in Portugal. The challenge proposed to develop an
illustration alluding the Christmas season, adequate to be published on the first page of the 25th of December edition.
The objective of the illustration I presented overstepped a little the joyful concept around Christmas:
the most pleasant and consumer idea of Santa Claus, family, the warm gathering and presents.
This is the easiest part of giving and receiving. In truth, Christmas should not only be about family and traditions, it should also be about human values. For this reason and because a newspaper should be controversial and convey a message or a critique, I based my proposal on the issue of welcoming the refugees that have been trying to reach Europe.
