It is rare to find a collaboration between author and designer as successful as this one. We both had very similar ideas as to how this book should look and feel. The style, tone and structure of the text are just as important as the ideas expressed. This is a book that attempts to discuss the fleeting and overlooked. The design attempts to quietly step aside.
