An excellent example of humor constituting content and design in a sincere way. The aesthetic combination and remarkable dialogue of these elements make the book timeless. The dedication of the designer to engage with the content can be felt in the careful execution and the research for an intriguing form. The grid with black thin lines and colorful thick lines, frames a structure within the layout and gives the feeling of playfulness and humour on every spread.The choice of a classic but contemporary typeface pays homage to the method Matthew Darbyshire played with objects/artefacts from different timeperiods. This book balances between humour and elegance.
