This is a small pamphlet about a quote from Kafka’s ›Metamorphosis‹. We could only use type and colour, we where bound to a specific format (20 × 13 cm), a limited number of pages and we had to stitch the pamphlet with thread. I created a whole morphed alphabet for this project, which can be seen on a poster inside the pamphlet. For the cover I used an embossing technique, where you apply heat to a special substance which melts and has sort of an enamel varnish finish. I tried to push the boundaries to the limits of the exercise. I hope the teacher likes it as much as I do, even if I walk the line.
