New Art of Making Books

publishing

overview

This book was made in a group of four. We wanted to challenge and question the physicality of the book, to show that the physical is just as important as the content itself. Our interactive take creates another dimension to the text which was written by Ulises Carrion.

core

This is the first project that introduced me into the concept of pushing boundaries in publishing. The idea of interaction within a book which is not targeted at children opened my mind to the new possibilities and made me understand that ‘standard’ books aren’t engaging enough.
