Title: Suave trazo
Description: A visual account that recovers different facets of vast production of the past 50 years in graphic design of Rafael López Castro (Degollado, Los Altos de Jalisco, 1946). Throughout the homage book, notes are inserted that put in context his work in different eras and institutions; for example, the series of covers of the collection "Lecturas Mexicanas" (Mexican Readings) that he made for the Fondo de Cultura Económica (FCE), his film posters or his drawings of the evolution of the national shield. This collective edition "is an almanac of how in an underground way  but in an always visible counterpart  the work of Rafael López Castro is a portrait of the national and collective imaginary of the Mexican", says Gerardo García-Luna Martínez in his participation.
