Data + Narrative
This book aims to integrate Georges Perec's "Brief Notes on the Art and Manner of Arranging One’s Books" with a curated list of personal books and Amazon/Goodreads data. By aligning with Perec's insights, it creates a cohesive fusion that reflects both his ideas and my personal interests. The goal is to initiate a meaningful dialogue between Perec's musings, selected titles, and personal narrative, facilitating a nuanced exploration of the art of book arrangement.
Design Choices
The blurring of book cover images evokes a profound sense of melancholy, setting the tone for introspection and depth. The use of the Venn diagram accentuates the character traits I found relatable. The typeface selection was tailored to reinforce thematic intricacies; the fusion of P22 Zaner's script with Romana for headers aims to achieve a balance of contemporary allure and timeless sophistication. Introducing P22 Zaner for initial letters in headers adds an extra layer of delicacy, emphasizing the deeply personal nature of the project.
