About The Big Book of Bullshit Libro
La pubblicazione The Big Book of Bullshit è un'esplorazione grafica di verità, fiducia e bugie ed è divisa in 3 capitoli visivamente giustapposti. La verità: un saggio illustrato sulla psicologia dell'inganno. The Trust: un'indagine visiva sulla nozione di fiducia e The Lies: una galleria illustrata di cazzate, tutte derivate da confessioni anonime di inganno. Il layout visivo del libro prende ispirazione dal "Van de Graaf canon" di Jan Tschichold, utilizzato nella progettazione del libro per dividere una pagina in proporzioni gradevoli.

- Design Challenge
- There were many creative challenges which were overcome in the creation of this book, from ensuring the anonymity of confessions of deceit, to finding suppliers that could print using in glow in the dark ink.
The main finding of this practice based research is that, everyone is full of shit! - Research
- Vision:
To enjoy creating design that invokes curiosity, creates conversation, makes people smile and is above all, honest.
Mission:
To contribute to a creative community, bound by the ubiquitous human trait of lying. Creating beautiful artwork from what is, essentially, an ugly aspect of human nature.
The central messages, which I wished to communicate: We All Lie
It is fundamentally ingrained in our nature and a necessary part of our societies structure.
Yet We Are All Quick To Judge
No matter how much we lie ourselves, there is a social paradox that forces us to negatively label those who are deemed liars. - Inspiration
- Dishonesty is a ubiquitous phenomenon that has become ingrained as a necessity for the successful function of our society. The overarching aim of this project was to provide a contribution to the understanding of the visual relationship between lies and truth. Encouraging viewers to investigate their own preconceived notions of truth, trust and deceit by fostering a dialogue of a dialogue of questioning and examination.
