Editorial Design – Teaching and Research. Retrospective.

In “Opening Book Spaces – Opening Thinking Spaces” the experienced book designer documents a total of 14 book projects from 44 active professional years, including three teaching and research projects for which she served as initiator, editor, and publisher.
Contributions by Bettina Schulz, Petra Kammann, Florian Fischer, Elke Bludau, and many other authors complement the volume, offering a variety of viewpoints and perspectives.

Text-image dialogues are central questions in design. The dramaturgical planning of page sequences corresponds to a form of directing. The theoretical exploration and condensation of a subject, as well as the development of conceptual frameworks as design parameters, form a particular focus of her teaching. Book spaces can open spaces for thought—page by page. Successful design concepts are fundamentally shaped by these processes.

Buchräume öffnen Denkräume provides stimulation and inspiration for emerging and practicing designers to remain engaged with their own fields of research and to preserve sufficient creative freedom.
