Creaturas acaba de descubrir un libro que mezcla de la forma más impredecible gráficos, texto y fotografía, dando la impresión de que realmente puedes sumergirte en la historia. Páginas deconstruidas, caminos secretos que llevan a sorpresas impresas , se enfrenta a aparecer en lo que no esperamos , que todo tiene un toque de magia que te conecta con tu niño interior. Todo esto es resultado de la labor increíble del talentoso diseñador español Alberto Hernández, que acaba de terminar su master de Diseño Gráfico en la London College of Communication, y ya está explorando su obsesión con las novelas de híbridos. Echemos un vistazo más de cerca.

A hybrid novel, according to Alberto Hernández, can be seen as a hybrid image-text novel, not a children’s book, graphic novel/comic or gift book, but a book where written text and graphic devices such as illustration, photography, information graphics or typographic treatments may interject in order to hold a readers’ interest. This combination adds interactiveness to the book and also gives the printed page a multidimensional visual surface. A hybrid novel is a kind of book that requires the readers’ actions and also to be handled and experienced. This remediation of Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde tries, by adding playful graphic devices to the original novel, to engage readers in a more dynamic narrative experience and help them at the same time to understand the story more easily. The results leave no space for doubts. We simply say YES and can’t wait reading Hernández’s next novel interpretation: Yatzer in Wonderland maybe?
