View profile- Design Rationale
-
Mongrel Rapture is designed as many kinds of books – hymnal, illuminated manuscript, index, journal, monograph, zine. The energetic but disciplined design owes much to the work itss in the act of capturing: the diverse, obsessive and involved work of ARM. And like the prevalence of construction photos in the book, its design is also about its own book-ness and the requirements of managing sixteen-hundred-and-sixteen pages – the subtle moves needed to be various but comprehensible – and the design of the production: the thin-ness of the paper, the single thumb index, the drape of the binding, the colour burst of the foil.
