"Diablos Cajuelos"
Wiki Definition: "Diablo Cojuelo (Limping Devil): is the main character of the carnival. A tale on the island says that this devil was banished to earth because of his childish pranks. When he hit the earth he hurt his leg, causing him to limp. While most of the communities across the island represent this character in different ways, several common practices are the use of a mask, a satanic suit, sleigh bells, and a whip or "Vejiga" (an animal bladder filled with air) to hit people in the streets (other "Diablos"). A Dominican tale claims that the mask is meant to represent the Spaniards who came to the island and enslaved and whipped the natives."
After traveling to the Dominican Republic (native land) and being present for the "Carnaval" festivities, I came across many local entrepreneurs selling masks that they've designed for these events. I decided to help a local mask maker and designed him a logo for his business cards and marketing events.
Below are some design pieces for this project:
