MA Book Design 2014, University of Reading.
Tutor: John Morgan
The brief for this project was to translate a film into a book. The sequence and page plan of the book, actual size dummy, specification, exploring paper samples and materials, is what was expected out of the project. A book was made on an Indian film called Kahaani. This is a suspense thriller written and directed by Sujoy Ghosh in 2012. The book explores narrating the story using a combination of screen grabs along with the script of the movie.
