MANIFEST DENSITY

An accordion book designed to make two different pieces of writing argue against one another. It features Natalia Ilyin's "The Love Bucket," an essay about designers creating out of love or fear and "Manifest Density" from the Neo-Futurist's play Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind, an absurdist play that highlights the lengths one will go for money. The project's goal was to use typography to create a new context and thus a new meaning for each piece of writing.

Personally I wanted to emphasize the two different perspectives on life, one focusing on the optimistic viewpoint of finding your passions and designing for the love of it. The other, offers the reality of having to do whatever it takes to make a buck.
