The visual identity in a university publisher

Jorge L. Rodríguez

Abstract

This paper responds to a particular need in the field of graphic arts, which includes the difficulties encountered during the analysis of the sources studied. It addresses the particularities of the graphic quality of the book cover designs of Editorial Feijoo, as well as their identifier. It shows in a precise and objective way the fundamental visual, aesthetic and communicative problems present in the editorial process. Considerations and procedures are exposed that allow characterizing the formal and conceptual state of the book cover design in the observed samples, from the dimensions: function, norm and value. It also contributes to define a theoretical-methodological structure that allows the development of actions for elaboration of a new editorial profile and a new identifier.
