Geohistoria de la Sensibilidad en Venezuela
Fundación Empresas Polar, Caracas
Design: Álvaro Sotillo & Gabriela Fontanillas & Luis Giraldo
Complex yet very subtle typography. Diverse information is characterised just so as to make it clearly distinguishable. The book-designer has refrained from using coloured type, working instead merely with small contrasts in size, thickness and highlighting. The manner of binding (French fold) opens up a wonderful possibility for navigation through the book. Its front edge is graced by a subtle thumb index. The layout is open and flexible. The designer has not become constrained by his own mesh, as is so often the case with such a large number of illustrations.
