Visual Editions

Visual Editions is a company that specialise in creating books with a twist, playing with the form of the book and the typography in a playful and experimental way, but always to further the storytelling.


The image above is of the book "Tree of Codes" in which the author looked for a story within another story, and told it by removing large chunks of the original text to leave his own re-interpretation. The book comes printed with the holes already cut in the pages, which in turn allows for words to overlap between pages where you are able to see through, and may conjure up new narratives. Reading the book must actually feel like you are working out an elaborate code and discovering some hidden meaning.
