Source: kosm.ici monograph project book by Gabriela Namie that is a starting place for an app that focuses on media and how it is viewed as entertainment only instead of an opportunity for education using the works of Marshall Mcluhan, Vilem Flusser and Pierre Levy 'studying the role of media and it's contexts'.
Object Description: A very well organized and well designed book using well planned grids and typography and color.
Typeface Description: A mixture of sans serif and serif. Sans serifs are used for titles, headings and subheadings as well as the body. Serif typefaces are used only on left hand pages of full bleed typographic illustration and in the number of the chapter.
How does it enhance message? It feels very playful and educational and extremely well organized. The sans serif feel like a good balance of formality and informality. The serifs work well as compliment.
How will it influence me? When working in my own book, I hope to create such a cohesive design of color, photography, type and organization. I would like to experiment with full bleed photography and overlapping effects over photography in my book like shown here.
