Formen Lesen – Ein Plädoyer für bewusste Gestaltung – Paulus M. Dreibholz – Gaffa Editions

Formen Lesen – Ein Plädoyer für bewusste Gestaltung engages with elemental questions of design and typography. In short articles it touches the subjects of reading and understanding our environment, natural or cultural. It talks about the responsibility of the designer and assesses the speed of the design process.

Formen Lesen is a personal account of the activity of designing the things that surround us, mainly printed matters, but allows conceptual and practical insight into how this complex subject can be approached and offers opinions and arguments for further personal investigation.

Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus- Mary Shelley

“He would hope that, left to itself, the slight spark of life which he had communicated would fade; that this thing, which had received such imperfect animation, would subside into dead matter; and he might sleep in the belief that the silence of the grave would quench for ever the transient existence of the hideous corpse which he had looked upon as the cradle of life. He sleeps; but he is awakened; he opens his eyes; behold the horrid thing stands at his bedside, opening his curtains, and looking on him with yellow, watery, but speculative eyes.”
