About The Big Book of Bullshit 책

The Big Book of Bullshit 출판물은 진실, 신뢰, 거짓에 대한 그래픽 탐구이며 시각적으로 병치된 3개의 장으로 나뉩니다. 진실: 속임수의 심리학에 대한 삽화가 있는 에세이. 신뢰: 신뢰 개념에 대한 시각적 조사 및 The Lies: 헛소리의 삽화 갤러리, 모두 속임수에 대한 익명의 고백에서 파생되었습니다. 이 책의 시각적 레이아웃은 얀 치홀트(Jan Tschichold)의 "Van de Graaf canon"에서 영감을 얻었는데, 이는 책 디자인에서 페이지를 즐거운 비율로 나누는 데 사용됩니다.

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.
Project Duration
project started in 2014 in Kuwait and completed in 2017 in the UK Edited and revised 2nd edition designed and produced in Singapore, 2019
Operation Flow
This was part of a larger project. Lies were collected from an anonymous online confessional platform iliekit.com and subsequently illustrated and showcased in the third 'lies' chapter of the big book of bullshit
