CONCEPT:
The book contains my design exploration of indirection as a design methodology in various forms. The writing is abbreviated by blocking out paragraphs. The abstract silhouette echoes the book title as poetic visual “friction.” The editorial design examines how to communicate subtlety to elicit mindful interpretations of the content.
