Libro ilustrado con técnicas análogas acerca de las especies de orquídea endémicas del Ecuador

Abstract

Illustration as an art at the service of science. The following project is a journey through Scientific Dissemination through the development and implementation of an Illustrated Book, where editorial design and illustration converge; in order to convey the situation and the importance of protecting the biodiversity that surrounds us, focusing on plant species, through teaching the Endemic Orchids of Ecuador in critical danger of extinction. The main objective is to generate environmental awareness and sow a seed that transmits interest, knowledge and sensitivity for the environment. Using the Design Methodology of Gavin Ambrose and Paul Harris as a foundation, we gave rise to our illustrated botanical popularization book narrated by a fictional character, divided into two parts, both merged through a single Siamese binding: Libro I, Orquídeas, endemismo y extinción y Libro II, guía botánica. This document reviews the stages of creation of: Rojo Orchidaceae.
