The Concept

The Edge of Perception explores how underlying structures influence the way information is perceived and interpreted. Through the use of grid systems and the subject of gaff cards, the project investigates how order, disruption, and misdirection can shape visual understanding.

The Process

Various changes were made throughout the process to make the book feel more like the concept. Some of these changes included swapping the background from white to a dark teal, the addition of the magic graphics, and the use of a dramatic spotlight.
