PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This book uses Ray and Charles Eames’ “Powers of Ten” as a way of exploring the “cosmic zoom”, a theory of scale as mediated difference. I took that documentary’s white Helvetica on a black background and used it to create a typographic zoom.

Juror Comments
“Great cover. It needs one more hint of sparkle. The inside is such a pleasure to read. The play on the grid apparent but not forceful.” —Brian Johnson
