About Pool Bogomslag
Pool er et interaktivt bogomslag skabt til en videnskabelig publikation. Designet gentolker algernes form gennem kinesiske tegn, og mange algeformer er placeret hen over omslaget, så læserne straks forbindes med emnet. Skitser af forskellige algetyper er belagt med pletlak, hvilket skaber en vandagtig reflektion og en realistisk tekstur. Skitserne strækker sig over hele omslaget og danner billedet af en dam fuld af alger. Neongule og grønlige nuancer viser algernes mangfoldighed. En lille matchende quiz på det indre omslag lader læserne lære algernes navne.
