Emotional Book

Novitska, Karolina

The assignment for this project was to create a concept/prototype for a "New Book" using various elements of new media. My analysis began with the exploration of concepts for a book, which would not be possible in a traditional book medium. The eventual solution was to create a book with a personality. While the user is interacting with the pages, the book actually responds to the user's activity. Some of the highlights of the process were the correlation of human emotions/feelings/behaviors to those imagined for a book, as well as the alignment of these human behaviors with various interactive behaviors expressed through typographic elements throughout the pages of the book.
