PROJECT DESCRIPTION
In No Hay Nadie En Casa (There's No One Home), something as small as a peach is capable of causing such uncertainty in Isabel that not even the most fascinating landscapes in the world can dissuade her from thinking about it. On her imminent return home, the reality from which she wanted to escape awaits her: the memory of a failed exam, family wounds and love disappointments that constantly yearn for reconciliation.
This first novel by Isabel Díaz Alanís required an effort of straightforwardness on the cover. The weight of the peaches as a central part of the plot and its relationship with the academy are present through a collage that allows the simplicity of the image to be mixed with an unadorned and efficient typography selection. Being a short novel, it was important not to reveal too much, but to ensure that the reader can identify these central elements throughout their reading.
