Italo Calvino-Invisible Cities-Thin Cities

Thin Cities Newspaper is inspired from Italo Calvino's book "Invisible Cities". I believe that the meaning hidden behind the name "Thin cities", which is one group in his book, is the fact that these cities stand on a thin line because there might be a war and destroy the cities at any time. Some of them are already destroyed and rebuild still not knowing what the future will bring. After reading the book, I found the meanings hidden behind every Chapter of the book and emphasized more in the "5 different Thin Cities" and wrote some articles and poems that would be published in the "Thin Cities Newspaper". The newspaper itself and the poster as the columns and layouts are all thin and long to emphasize more on the fragility of the cities. All the pictures already exist from older and newer times as some are pictures taken from famous photographers, but most texts are fantasies that I wrote and false.
