12/2020 – A poster diary

In “12/2020 – A poster diary”, 26 posters are collected that were created on 26 days in December 2020. The book contains three different page sizes and plays with the resulting different levels. The viewer thus experiences the highs and lows of the winter of 2020. Due to the thread binding, it is possible to integrate a folding technique into the book in order to be able to unfold some of the posters upwards.

AI ART – Machine Visions And Warped Dreams

“Artificial Intelligence” is an increasingly important buzzword in today’s world. In her book “AI ART – Machine Visions and Warped Dreams” Joanna Zylinska asks herself the question „Can computers be creative?“ and examines the role of humans in the current technical landscape. This redesign aims to create a new visualization of the book by using technology to influence the design process. TouchDesigner was used to dictate the layout and flow of the text. Furthermore, the AI tool DALL-E helped to create images based on prompts taken from short sections of the text itself.

NO MAGIC IN RISO

NO MAGIC IN RISO is the result of 2 years of image separation studies and experiments, and is the second book published by O.OO. we hope that readers can feel the wonders of Risograph printing through the details of the design in the book. Whether you are a designer, an artist, or an illustrator, anyone interested in color can use this book to enter the field with ease.

The methods discussed in this book are not the one and only, and are not absolute. Everyone’s way of experimenting is different, and this book just offers our experience as a tool. Without the participation of people, the technology is plain and void of charm. Thus, the title NO MAGIC IN RISO.

NMTK

NMTK is a zine band where typography, literature, languages, illustration, lettering and graphic have their own place, and the most beautiful thing is that they can mix with each other and enjoy the trip.
Manifest: handmade, it should be possible to deliver it by post.

Currently, this publication contains 2 titles: #A and #B
#A: This title mixes a story about the last winter snow/first pandemie snow day with the white space concept in book design craft.
#B: The second title is about a complot. A plot organized by German consonants against the vowels. Or it is about monster letters which need an argument to be published, and create this tale. I really don’t know, they have their own life.

Command shift Z

„Command Shift Z“, is a book that celebrates the beauty of filters and discarded digital material. I created graphics out of material found in the trash folder of people‘s computers. The name is a nod to the keyboard shortcut Command Shift Z, used to restore material from the trash folder. Beside visuals the book shows the starting materials on the opposite page. Each double page is accompanied by a small transparent paper which provides information about the filters and programs used. The binding system uses industrial butterfly screws to bind the pages in the center together. The paper, also used for drivers licenses, feels more like thin leather and is extremely resistant.

TY COVER II

The cover of the TY documentation is captured on an analog camera using Agfa black and white film. The shot was taken at Residenz at Odeonsplatz, but the cover is barely recognizable due to the use of flashlight in the night shot.

Accidental Cooking

From a splatter leftover from the sizzle of a frypan—to stains so large it makes you wonder what happened to a reader’s cooking endeavours—Accidental Cooking hilariously documents the stains found in the cookbooks of four public libraries in Sydney, Australia. It takes an even closer peak behind the covers of these cookbooks, swabbing their stains for bacteria and watching in wonder at the invisible worlds that grow. But don’t be grossed out! Paying homage to libraries through a form reminiscent of catalogue cards, this collection of accidental stains and growths celebrates the ephemeral and shared nature of public library books, their users and the mood of discovery found in libraries.

10 x Fw:Books

Photography is a unique medium; it doesn’t have a fixed way of revealing itself. The source is always invisible, you have to find a way to reproduce it to make work, that can be a photo on a wall, a website, or a photo printed in a books. Because of this unique relation between the medium and the form, i see the choice to make a book as a choice to make a new work.

The Alien

“The Alien” is a book by a Thai academic and a political exile, Pavin Chachavalpongpun, who has resided and worked in Kyoto, Japan. He was charged with Thailand’s draconian lèse-majesté law for his critical views of the monarchy. This book is intended to make itself accessible to readers in Thailand’s local bookstores, despite the author’s status as a controversial figure and his non-conformist political opinion. By devising techniques such as collage and digital painting, as well as an anti-design approach, the “surreal” elements created illustrations and layouts that representing Pavin’s criticism against the establishment and refusal to succumb to widely held notions and discourses.

What Will Remain

It’s easy to forget about garbage after it’s thrown out. What Will Remain? draws attention to this by crafting letter forms out of trash and using them to spell out the question: What will remain after we are gone? The trash typography is photographed in nature to emphasize the contrast between the natural and the man made. This project is a reminder of the trash we create and what impact we have on the world around us.

TUL Mono & TUL Mono Underline

A custom open-source monolinear font TUL Mono (with variable cuts, CNC-ready and underline features) for the Technical University of Liberec. The font draws inspiration from the university’s technical focus and the 19th-century experiments of German inventor Friedrich Soennecken, which employed metal elements consisting of arcs and straight lines to create glyphs.
