For graphic design I got the assignment to design ‘The Internet of Things’, a book by Rob van Kranenburg, a writer and researcher.

The most important was that you gave your opinion about the subject through the design of the book. I found all his theories about ambient technology and RFID very interesting. I came to the conclusion you can look at the subject in several ways, and that causes confusion. That’s why I started playing with the reading direction. Every direction has a particular color, and at some points it overlaps. In this way it becomes more abstract.

I created the book in a completely ‘off-PC’ analogue manner, on a photo copier. Using colored sheets for the separate reading directions. Because making something digital/pixel-like seemed too easy, I chose for the opposite and the experiment.
