The Book of Symbols
Rio de janeiro, 1999 - ESDI :: previous project :: next project
Culture :: Ideograms :: Typography
The Book of Symbols is the result of years of fascination with the Chinese characters.
When the assignment of producing a book about anything was issued at ESDI I jumped
at the opportunity of going deeper into the subject. I read some books and wrote a
short intoduction about the ideograms. I added images as well that show the graphical
property of symbols. Looking at each symbol's evolution is almost possible to guess
their meaning. :: previous project :: next project
