Team

Eploring 'what is a book', the 'TEAM - Process is Form' publication is an example of how the content and readibility of a book can be mixed up to achieve a high impact on the reader.
Picking up the book, it soon becomes obvious that the usual name and author along the spine has been abolished and replaced with the referancing for the content of the book.

The initial pages go straight into the documentation (pure imagery) of print processes/equipment and exploration into colour and shape. It's not untill halfway through the book that one comes across written content, and effectively what could be seen as the title pages, usually found at the front. I love the element of mystery that this adds whilst browsing the inital pages, unsure of what and why these choices have been made.

Definitely a concept to be explored for our own publication, although I highly doubt our book will be worthy of a spine, and will most probably use some kind of simple stitched binding method.
