Project: Research Creativity

That's what I found in Internet as a part of my research:
  • Research Project - Creativity
    Student Project - SSU
    (Autumn 2009 / Spring 2010)
  • The research project is an attempt to give some insight into how creativity works.The first section of the book takes on some definition and functions of creativity, before the book divides into three mini books:

    - "The sketchbook" contains short Interviews with 10 creative professionalsfrom different trades, showcasing 
       some of their work and sharing their thoughton creativity (and their thoughts on coffee as a creative fuel)
    - "The Case study" contains a journal and timeline that documents the creativeprocess of me and a
       friend during the D&AD project.
    - "The creative guide" wraps it all up by summarizing the creative techniquesthat occurs most in the
       interviews and the case study.

Book Design : 3 Minutes

Just for inspiration:
"3 Minutes is the second publication from non-profit organisation Designers Against Human Rights Abuse (DAHRA) and the second collaboration between DAHRA and Tibet Relief Fund.

The premise of the book is to show the full extent of the Tibetan conflict through 10 diverse and extremely powerful 3-minute interviews, each describing the 3 minutes that changed their lives. This idea is reflected in the covers of each booklet, which separately make beautiful abstract covers but together form to make a ‘3’.

Contributors were asked to translate these minute interviews into 16 printed page booklets using primarily typography. The result is a book made up of 10 beautifully designed booklets from some of the world's best designers showcasing considered and stunning typography."

"Diary of a very special love" by Patric Sandri

Our FMP project started. we have to make a research book about London. I will discuss it deeply in the future. That's what I found on Behance, as a great inspiration for me. Of course it is not that posh, printed glossy book, however it looks interesting.All works made by Patric Sandri from Switzerland.

    Periodic Table of Typefaces

    This table made by Cam Wilde. I found it on Behance, however now it is quite popular in the internet. The Table of Typefaces groups by families and classes of typefaces:  sans-serif, serif, script, black letter, glyphic, display, grotesque, realist, didone, garalde, geometric, humanist, slab-serif and mixed.  Each cell of the table lists the typeface and a one or two character "symbol" (made up by me simply based on logic), the designer, year designed and a ranking of 1 through 100.
