View profile- Design Rationale
-
This book documents a series of workshops considering the function and significance of notation across creative disciplines. The biggest design decision was to typeset the manuscript on recto pages only, leaving verso pages for new notations that authors added throughout the design process. This decision brought the texts back to life after almost a year and enabled new insights to come to light. There are also a range of references to the strong graphic dots of the RMIT Design Hub (where the workshops took place): the holes drilled in the book, the extra heavy punctuation, and the coarsely dot-screened photographs.
