Ilha is a 55-minute documentary directed by Daniel de la Calle Gebele about the small island of Boipeba, located 80 miles South of Salvador de Bahía, in Brazil. In many ways, the island can be seen as the epitome of the slow tropical paradise, a dream of sandy beaches, gentle waters and coconut trees.

There is a unique pace to Boipeba, enhanced by the wandering nature of hunter-gatherers, by the ever-changing soothing skies, the empty spaces, the wide horizons. The poster needed to translate this feeling of space and stillness. To achieve it, we have used one of the many photos taken by Daniel during his travels and played with typography. The dot on the 'i' became the island, surrounded by blue and silence.
