Product Description

Justus Gelberg is a Frankfurt/Germany based graphic designer.

The work “Silberlöffel & Zwiebel” is a project on redesign on the basis of the book “Welcher Pilz ist das?” (Which Mushroom is This?).

Organized visually the original field guide indicates mushrooms from the whole of Europe and depicts each species accurately by fusing text, photographs or illustrations in various formats. The redesign focusses on the category of poisonous mushrooms, replacing the photgraphs with sketch-like illustrations but retaining the narrative structure of the original book that defines categorization, description and symptoms of poisoning. The format of 375x520 mm states a visual contrast to the original one and realizes a shift of perspective on the anatomy of the mushroom and render an aesthetical examination of it‘s shapes and contures possible. The quality of the newsprint and the low grammage dissolve the classical book-character and transportability attributed to field guides.
