There were many different examples of ways the format of the book has been altered or exaggerated in order give further meaning to the contents.
The example above is a book that has been modified - each page has had the illustration cut around leaving a book of lots of small delicate and intricately cut out drawings, much like butterflies and moths in a museum display cabinet.
This hand bound book contained hundreds of bird sounds. I thought it was an interesting concept, and the small, very thick format was intriguing. It was also unusual to see a hand bound book.
This book cover caught my eye because of the bright colour scheme, but also because of the unusual design. The title is almost illegible and looks to be a distorted black letter font, contrasted with the very bold and modern type and lines on the rest of the cover. It almost reminds me of a cryptic puzzle that needs to be solved. The combination of the blue and metallic red print was also very striking, like an optical illusion.
