I was always intrigued by how book spines can stand against one another in the most mismatching manner to create really attractive "wallpapers" within a certain space. Tiny snippets of a person's character sneaks out within few words expressed with a typeface or some colours. They remind me of little windows into somebody's soul. We can tell an entire section in a library by merely glancing across book spines.
The story goes like this: a designer creates the personality of a publication, the reader buys it and it becomes some sort of a representation of his own identity. The reader's entire collection of books then come together to tell an untitled story. Whether he is a romantic at heart or a sci-fi geek- this is one of those rare moments when self-expression appears effortless. It is not so much about the shelves but what you put on it.
"Books, magazines, newspapers and other forms of printed matter often become part of a space and truly represent the personality of the individual or group that inhabits it." - Markus Miessen
He said it within a sentence. Why do i bother typing? Read the article in Apartamento magazine. Speaking of which, i have failed one too many times to put down the new issue.
