Description

Writing and creating a multi-volume book series is much like pulling together a puzzle, where the pieces are at first scattered and their relationships are yet to coalesce. The creation of visual themes for the book covers and typography helps assemble an aesthetic continuity from one volume to the next as this process necessitates the creation of pattern and visual rhetoric. The thought process of pulling all disparate pieces together is non-linear, especially if you were trained as a designer. Rationalizing the patterns and relationships of the disparate pieces of text becomes very much like finding like colors in puzzle pieces scattered on a tabletop. Organizing these patterns into a coherent presentation can inform the otherwise linear nature of academic writing.
