About Pool Buchdeckel

Pool ass e interaktive Buchdeckel, deen fir eng wëssenschaftlech Publikatioun entworf gouf. D'Design interpretéiert d'Form vun Algen duerch chinesesch Schrëftzeeche nei, a vill Algeforme sinn iwwer de Cover verdeelt, sou datt d'Lieser sech direkt mam Thema verbannen. Skizzen vu verschiddenen Algentypen sinn mat engem Punkt-Lack iwwerzunn, deen e waasserähnleche Reflex an eng realistesch Textur erschaaft. Dës Skizzen zéien sech iwwer de ganze Cover an bilden esou d'Bild vun engem Weiher voller Algen. Neongiel a gréng Téin weisen d'Villfalt vun den Algen. Eng kleng Zuardnungs-Quiz op der Innesäit vum Cover erlaabt de Lieser, d'Nimm vun den Algen ze léieren.
