KEYS:

  • Visualize ideas, maybe it will be just a textile design.
  • Start collecting your images, we are visual artists, it is important for us to show pictures
  • If it is about your personal experience, what kind?
My experience. Wedding. Meeting with the husband's family.

  • I'm interested in the tradition of moving from the bride's family to the husband's family, as a renunciation, as a new life. My personal experience is that there was no idea like this, what awaits me, there was no transition, there was no understanding. Moreover, in my mind there was no image of a family, it was a transition without a transition.
  • The first meeting with the mother-in-law was very strange, incomprehensible, when you don’t know how to behave. She was like this: my mother-in-law arrived at night, and I pretended to be asleep. These were strange feelings, fear that they would not be accepted, fear of being somehow different, of not living up to expectations. I was not introduced. I was thrown into a river. Strange feelings.

Book design is the art of incorporating the content, style, format, design, and sequence of the various components of a book into a coherent whole. In the words of Jan Tschichold, "methods and rules upon which it is impossible to improve, have been developed over centuries. To produce perfect books, these rules have to be brought back to life and applied."
Front matter, or preliminaries, is the first section of a book and is usually the smallest section in terms of the number of pages. Each page is counted, but no folio or page number is expressed or printed, on either display pages or blank pages.
