    Résumé

    In this book, featuring the work of internationally renowned Mexican graphic designer, illustrator, poet and artist Alejandro Magallanes, the author has selected from among thousands of posters, book illustrations, and works of art that bear his creative stamp. They are divided into five sections that introduce the reader to a fascinating visual universe where Magallanes "illustrates with words and writes with images." In texts throughout the book, the artist discusses the diverse nature of his projects and reflects on his graphic style.
    Through this vast array of work, we can see how Magallanes' process for creating illustrations and designs for visual communication is always changing. The images are poetic, intelligent, spontaneous, mainstream, and even at times grotesque. They represent the different visions of someone who refuses to stop experimenting, who makes believe and plays all the time, twisting ideas, words and images that can become part of our memory and stay with us forever.
