          Cover design for a serie of erotic tales. Everything took origin during the photography classes in ESDIR. 
          The instruction consisted in shooting a picture to design a book cover. My proposal was to create the suggestion of erotism through the shapes and the colours of fruit. Pastel coloured backgrounds pulled together with the roundedness and the bright colours of the fruits’ pulp should recall - in an ironical way, the sensuality of the human sex.
          The election of a very classic title of erotic tales, enhanced the sense of oddity of the entire project: I purposely decided to match the bright coloured picture of bananas and mango, with a traditional, almost dramatic serifed font.

“    La cruauté, bien loin d'être un vice, est le premier sentiment qu'imprime en nous la nature ; l'enfant brise son hochet, mord le téton de sa nourrice, étrangle son oiseau, bien avant que d'avoir l'âge de raison.
