Design Work Life: Cataloging Inspiration Daily

As a stu­dent project, Januar Rianto, designed and pro­duced an artist’s book for Robert Montgomery (whose work I’ve fea­tured pre­vi­ously), enti­tled Fire of Each Other. Here’s what Januar has to say about the process and think­ing behind the project:
He [Robert Montgomery] van­dal­ized adver­tis­ing bill­boards to put up his poetry in order to pro­vide the audi­ence (com­mon peo­ple) with a phys­i­o­log­i­cal reflec­tion. My take was to high­light his work­ing process. I lit­er­ally van­dal­ized his work (poems) and put every­thing on top of them. To high­light his act of being anony­mous, a very long poem designed in the gut­ter on every page of the book, goes unno­ticed. And when 6 par­tic­u­lar spreads of the book are laid out and arranged in order, it reveals a billboard-like poster that spells his most famous poem. Combined both con­sid­ered (as poet) and rough (as street artist) man­ner of his work­ing process.
