Design Rationale

This book follows the gross, crazy, and rule breaking energy of the Listies and needed to be a good companion to they’re previous book Ickypedia. The messy nature of the book with subtle and not so subtle details, multiple references, and things you’ll miss, encourages to reader to read this book in a non-linear fashion. Keeping it interesting, surprising and fresh. The book is typeset in 100 fonts and we used scripts to mess with the rigid structure in InDesign. The cover has a fluorescent spot green that makes the maggots jump into your mouth. YUK!
