You Didn't Hear it from Me But...

Brief To design a book that looks beyond what you already know about page layout and reflect how the physical structure of the book can be utilized to design the content. Exploring the use of materials and layout, the book needs to depict a conversation throughout. Solution After experimenting with materials, paper mechanisms and how people use books, I came up with the idea of using the facing pages as a way to display information being relayed. The book is based on the idea of gossip and how information gets filtered through many people, twisting its message like chinese whispers. As the viewer reads on, the saturated red tone fades from page to page as the original message fades.
