De osynliga stränderna - en omvandling och undersökning av boken De osynliga städerna

Abstract

My project is an interpretation and exploration of the book The Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino. It is a play on the swedish words for cities and beaches. By adding the letters R and N the word for cities in the title transforms into the word for beaches. The project is equal parts a color investigation and an exploration of new working methods as it is an development of my approch to graphic design. My aim was to, through a visual, conceptual and playful investigation create a new interpretation of the book The Invisible Cities. By identifying systems, language and details I tell a story about travelling and charter trips. The journey starts in the book and ends on the beach of Karpathos.
