Design Work Life: Cataloging Inspiration Daily

Printed Matter is a project about craft within the con­text of graphic design. It brings together dig­i­tal and hand made, aim­ing to chal­lenge the idea what a printed page can be. It is a book design project where book is seen as a tac­tile, three-dimensional expe­ri­ence as well as a read­ing and view­ing expe­ri­ence. Important part of the project is my spe­cially devel­oped tech­nique — hand embroi­dery based on the analy­sis of opti­cal mix­ture and colour print­ing processes. The con­tent of these books evolves around see­ing as an active process and takes inspi­ra­tion from the com­plex­ity of expe­ri­enc­ing visual messages.

The top two images are hand­made, embroi­dered halftone screens.
