These spreads are from my final work at university in 2002. The text is my dissertation – a conversation between a print book and a digital book in a bar. The print book's depressed because everyone keeps telling him he's dying. The digital book is nervous that he won't live up to expectations of the technophiles. They draw up a divorce settlement for information, each keeping what's most appropriate to their form. I was really happy with this at the time, but it now seems twee. Growth is good. ABOVE: Top left is a letter from me to the reader, explaining why I love books and why I made this one. Top right shows the little book bound into the spine – it's a bookmark and tells the story of Claude, a boy who plants a book hoping to make more books grow. Bottom left are Digital and Print, experiencing a moment of awkward silence when they meet. Bbottom right shows how to flip a book that is die cut into one section of the book. Below: more spreads.
