“Shallow Waters” is an engaging publication exploring two extreme cases of shallow water territories. It deals with relevant issues within the intertwined fields of ecology, social metabolism, engineering, and economy—all well communicated through the clear layout and design of the book.
The book uses folded spreads that guide the two separate narratives. The content is efficiently laid within the folds so that the reader can browse the imagery and explore the additional text by opening up spreads. The typography is simple, designed to navigate the content. The printing technique is an outstanding choice for the concept of publication. The use of metallic ink in the print works wonderfully with the images of microspecies, making the visuals feel a bit alien and unreal. The silver colour of the text and imagery reflects from the glossy pages almost like sunshine reflects in
splashing water.
