REPITION & RHYTHM

The challenge of this project was to create movement and rhythm throughout the book while still staying true to layout of each page. Each page must work both independently and as part of a whole. Basic design principles of gestalt, concord and contrast, balance, and alignment are in constant deliberation.

The Order of Books

"Attention should be paid to the technical, visual, & physical devices that organize the reading of writing when writing becomes a book"
