For the 2011 reissue of the book More Plus More is Less, the author Bartolomeu Campos de Queirós invited as illustrators, the graphic designers and brothers Marcelo Drummond and Marconi Drummond. From the cover, one can notice at first glance, the intention to provoke the reader, in the ‘verbovisual game’ throughout the visual project. For the illustrations, both artists used the analogic creative process in monotyping and finished them with silhouettes in digital collages. In the following article, it is intended to review the book-object in all its poetics, the creative gesture of the illustrators in collecting silhouettes, moved by the fictional pact (the stingy and bureaucratic personality of the protagonist of the story) and the encounter of words and images on the page (juxtaposition), resulting in levels of paste-ups that provide fruition of different layers of reading. The understanding of this encounter of words and images, aligned to the concepts arranged by Leo H. in The intersemiotic transposition: for a pragmatic classification in the work Poetics of the visible by Márcia Arbex, aim at qualifying the book studied as the book-visual object as a visual device for providing a multimodal reading experience.
