DruckAbfall - Diplom2At the age of 26, I had a heart attack.
In this book, I process the profound experiences and emotional stress that have shaped my health and my life.
It tells my very personal story, my physical and psychological recovery, and how I dealt with this stroke of fate.
The entire design of the book is modeled after the heart. From the four chambers of the heart in the layout, the veins and arteries in the colors, the incisive elements in the font with ink traps, the tightness in the line spacing, to the signal colors and disturbances in the risograph printing, which almost hurts when you experience it yourself... All design elements are derived from the heart and my experiences and translated into the finished book. Each element refers to my heart and the heart attack in order to bring my personal story closer to the viewer and allow them to empathize.
From Studies in the History of the Renaissance, 1873Like the elements of which we are composed, the action of these forces extends beyond us; it rusts iron and ripens corn. Far out on every side of us those elements are broadcast, driven by many forces; and birth and gesture and death and the springing of violets from the grave are but a few out of ten thousand resultant combinations. That clear, perpetual outline of face and limb is but an image of ours, under which we group them - a design in a web, the actual threads of which pass out beyond it.
