Point and Line to Plane : Book

Being a big fan of the written/philosphical works of Wassily Kandinsky I did this little graphic reinterpretation of one of his most popular works.

April, 2015
The Concept:


In opposition to Kandinsky's theory, the words aren't interpreted into the design through an artistic / expressionistic approach, but rather literally, creating each letter from a point a line and a plane and coming up with a modular typographic system.

Alternative Approach
Version 2


Referencing musical notes / playing sheets in the composition to lead back to his Kandinsky's theory that draws a connection between arranging sound and graphic form in space.
