Esencia Lunar — Editorial Pitch & Book Design
Gisel Guerrero
OVERVIEW
Esencia Lunar is an astrology book concept centered on emotional self-knowledge through the natal Moon. Designed as a visual guide to discovering who you are according to your lunar sign, the project combines editorial design, brand identity, and publishing strategy into a complete pitch package.
The project was presented at Monoblock, a leading independent publisher in Buenos Aires, during the Buenos Aires International Book Fair 2026, one of the most important publishing events in Latin America.
THE CHALLENGE
Presenting a book concept to a publisher requires more than a good idea. It requires a visual argument — the publisher needs to see not just what the book is about, but what it looks and feels like, who it's for, and why it belongs in their catalog.
The design had to communicate three things simultaneously: the book's emotional and aesthetic identity, its commercial positioning in the wellness and astrology market, and the author's credibility as both creator and designer.
THE APPROACH
The pitch deck was built as a visual experience that mirrors the book itself, soft violet and peach gradients, the recurring arch and lunar orb motif, and elegant serif typography that feels both contemporary and timeless. Every slide was designed to make the publisher feel what a reader would feel holding the finished book.
The cover design centers the arch as a sacred frame, the orb floating above, the title "Esencia Lunar" in a refined serif that communicates beauty and depth. The subtitle "Guía para descubrir quién eres según tu Luna natal" positions the book clearly in the self-knowledge category without losing its mystical quality.
The pitch structure moved from concept to audience to content to visual identity, building a complete argument for why this book exists, who needs it, and what makes it visually distinctive in the market.
A physical book mockup was created to show the cover design in context, making the concept tangible and real for the publisher. A lifestyle image, the book held in hands, warm sweater, and natural light, communicated the reading experience the book promises.
