The book Nobu Baba Henk adapts the film trilogy of writer and director Sarah Blok in a clear and cheerful way. We all immediately agreed that the design broadcasts the three videos through images in such a great way. Including subtitles and keeping the focus on the images makes you feel like you’re watching a movie. We really appreciated the simplicity of the book, with the open spine and loose cover; everything adds to the concept. Also having highlights of the design within the sections, not only adds some air to the publication, it allows insight on the process of the films. We had some doubts about the sticker, we thought it clashed with the design. The bright green color doesn’t really match with the pink cloth, and the size of it is slightly too big: it ends up sticking to the cover instead of just holding the cloth together. Overall it sticks out too much, making it seem an unnecessary addition. Although it wasn’t disturbing enough to prevent us from adding it to our selection, which shows how good of a book it is.
