Update V

BAM!


LATEST BRIEF:
[awake since 4 a.m.]

It's a fourteen page InDesign document. The objective of this brief is to design a non-fiction book from a list of titles given. 

My book's subject matter is anatomy, going by the title of 'Nexus.'

nexus |ˈneksəs|noun ( pl. same or -uses )a connection or series of connections linking two or more things.
I have explored this brief using a minimalist approach. The purpose of the given title is that it places emphasis on the ideology that anatomy is just a connection of groups and series. The cover itself consists of 5 pages with each letter of the title, with segments of a ribcage/spine (printed on transparency film). This reinforces the concept of connection.
The interior is simplistic in nature, with consistent use of dashed (2pt) line and circles which reinforces  the concepts stated above. These graphic elements also link all the pages together.
The book itself has yet to be put together; it's currently in the process of being done so.
A post of the final product, will be posted.
