Brief: Design an experimental version of Italo Calvino’s If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler.
Concept: Our edition of this novel is a visual representation of Calvino’s fragmented narration. Each of our chapters has a different size, layout, typography, and paper choice to reflect the many points of view that create this story. On the cover of each chapter there is a fragment of a portrait, and when the chapters are all closed the fragmented portraits come together to make just one face, much like Calvino’s many narrations create one cohesive narrative.
Type: Lekton, varied based on chapter
Team: Hugh Gilmore and Jessica Chaker
