The ‘Interaction in Print’ books aims to familiarise digital designers with paper, which also encourages them to appreciate the beauty of it. It gets the user to create a design using just paper without any other materials.

The book consists of challenges that spark creativity; to answer these briefs a perforated grid is included throughout. The Conqueror papers contrast, to highlight the quality of each other. The grid has to be torn to create a design and therefore, it forces designers to interact with it.
The tasks are printed on separate sheets which enable the user to choose which tasks he wants to do. The book has been bound using a French fold to create a pouch, so the task is inserted by the user and revealed-ed on left in the big shape. That same insert is also used as a background for the previous grid.
The books have different levels: beginner, intermediate and advanced. The patterns becomes more difficult to work with and the tasks become more complex in each book.
