When reviewing this post, I asked Armin, “Why do designers hate Gill Sans?” “Because it sucks,” he replied. Then I showed him this and he said, “That’s actually nice.” Thanks student Harry Lee, for being exceptional with this one-off project.

Project Description
As part of a university set brief at Falmouth University, the aim was to effectively convey a short story without use of illustration.This is a search for a lost friend in a blizzard. The book is letterpress debossed to convey the lack of vision, and the use of touch. The flash of green is a defining moment; it's when I last see my friend's green jacket.
