To reject the world - to embrace the world

Abstract

Ever since Thomas More’s book Utopia was published in 1516, the utopian idea has not lost its topicality and has been strongly rooted in literature, art, film and architecture. Utopia can be seen as a state in which utopia allows a space for wishes, dreams and a desire for something better. In my degree project I have chosen to explore the historical utopian ideas to create a content that treats utopia on a subjective level. With visual communication as a starting point I have tried to fixate this state in a book. Along with a unique typeface designed from the Utopian alphabet images and text are woven together into a conceptual whole, creating new associations and interpretations
