GOSPEL BOOK
A visual reinterpretation of the four Gospels towards the contemporary.

Rethinking the Gospels layout proved to be quite difficult due to the
constraints imposed by religious law. Thus changes made to the layout
were for a better legibility and understanding of the text.

Introduction of illustrations though not usually used in the Gospels was
necessary in order to sustain the project`s purpose. A series of 37
descriptive illustrations was created, 21 of which focusing on John`s
Gospel.

The illustrations take a geometrical tone by breaking down the shapes and folds
into simple geometrical forms maintaining a clear and dynamic silhouette line.

In accordance with the illustrations` style a suitable typeface was chosen, so that
together with the layout they form a symbiosis.
