Talk Thesis ✦ Book Design

Context
Talk was a graduation project: an interactive experience exploring questions about our existence and our search for life beyond Earth. It is a narrative built around two civilizations trying to find intelligent life beyond their planet. One a highly scientific society and the second a religious civilization, both limited by their lack of understanding of their counterpart.
This project, however, is a book about the project. As a fan of book design and documentation, we mapped the six-month journey and research (majority of which did not make the cut) into a separate book that deserved a project page of its own.
