ABC LGBT+: diversidade de A a Z

Abstract

Aiming to introduce concepts and elements about the LGBT+ imaginary for members or nonmembers of the LBGT+ community, the following experimental communication project starts off by using a basic educational tool — the abecedário — to illustrate in a playful, attractive and didactic way the diversity of identities, culture and history of the LGBT+ community. Entitled 'ABC LGBT+', the visual communication of the abecedário was created mixing different styles of digital design in interferences with type, using collage and digital illustration techniques, in addition to image manipulation and vector drawings. This research was developed at Laboratório de Investigação em Corpo, Comunicação e Arte-LICCA, using the methodology applied by PhD Leopoldo Augusto Leal in his book Pandemonium: processo criativo, experimentação e acaso (2019, p. 1-340). In addition, the creative process was based on bibliographic research on the main themes — the abecedário and queer design — in an attempt to understand and justify the relevance of the project.
