this week's book is another old idea updated to a new piece of life. the signatures are cellophane sheets bound by clear tape and trimmed with ribbon on the side. each page tells a part of a short story that is written in prose poetry. the end or beginning lines of each page overlap with the next page to simulate the way ideas sometimes overlap each other in the thinking process.
i was quite surprised at the weird reflection captured on the cellophane. it's not a part of the design--the actual pages are transparent--but this image certainly enhances the composition. the hardest part of creating this book was laying out the text on each individual page so that the overlapping words would fall into the spaces between lines. you can see it better in the next pic with a white sheet of paper under the last page.
that white paper really makes the reflected image stand out. overall, it's an okay design that i'd like to further explore down the road, before this year's challenge ends.
