Commemorative editorial project developed as a conclusion of the Design course, inspired by the classic work of Lúcia Machado de Almeida. The concept arises from the perspective of the killer known as Insect: his obsession and compulsion for beetles led him to a psychotic breakdown, triggering a series of murders. This vision guided the entire creation: the insect appears as a central symbol, represented in different species throughout the narrative.

The process involved illustrations of various species of beetles, explored in studies and variations until arriving at the ideal representations. In parallel, a grid, color palette, and typography were defined, forming a visual identity marked by the thin line between uncontrollable desire and irresistible obsession for something or someone — reflecting the character's mind and the atmosphere of mystery in the narrative. Each chapter received a specific beetle as a graphic element, functioning as a visual clue and guiding thread of the reading. After the development of the chapters, the rest of the book was constructed on the same concept, incorporating beetles, textures, and colors in elements such as the table of contents, bibliographic record, sections about the author, and endpaper. For the cover, an illustration of a unique beetle was created, different from those that appear inside the book, reinforcing its identity as the central piece of the project.

The result is an edition that unites concept, aesthetics, and communication strategy, transforming the classic work into a complete editorial experience.
