SPAIN "LOS DIEZ"
David Acevedo (DAQ)

Where the ideas flow. The cover is a typographic exercise with the word “yorokobu”. Yorokobu is an Spanish cultural and lifestyle magazine. It's a publication to be inspired and to let the imagination run free. The illustration recreates an impossible architecture where the intuition and the illusion have more power than the reason. It’s a suggestive space in which you have to look to see, in which you have to think to understand.
