The Readers +
The City
The poster presents the city of Amadora as a city of comics, but also as a “Metropolis” adapted to the local context.
This is conveyed both through the people, the readers, and through the landscapes, which in the foreground depict more typical scenes of Amadora, while the background introduces a fantastical layer that alludes to the skyscrapers of “Metropolis”.
