In searching for inspiration for the book design, Vicky found Anna Kremenetskaya’s work, for a book on the Berlin Wall. We were both taken by several aspects of the book.
It is a documentary work, built around a historical timeline of events, yet clearly built on photographs. the design uses lots of space, and some interesting motifs to connect the work.
