What do you get when you have two graphic designers who have no formal training, never met or talked over the phone, and live 3,292 miles apart? Reihen…
Reihen, the German word for “Series” is the title we chose, since it best reflected our collaborative project. The book contains a series of collages with no particular story but with the intent of total creative freedom.
We decided that the book would be laid out from both our perspectives, which produced completely different editorial designs, and resulted in two distinct books, along with different front and back covers. This experiment shows the outcome when designers are provided the same imagery, and are asked to pair up editorial designs, based off their personal creative observations. So guess which version you own?
