For me German language with its large vocabulary and possibilities in grammar is really beautiful and unique. But of course staying in touch with the beauty of this language should be joyful.
So my aim for this project was to create a much shorter, more easy, interesting and appealing version of a classical novel in form of a printed book without loosing the beauty of language and the main statements of the story.
To reach this expected result I chose one of the classical written pieces of German literature as a base to work on. Narziß and Goldmund from Hermann Hesse.
The main steps were to cut the content of the whole book down to it´s main statements and develop a strong visual support out of this parts in form of illustrations. Also the typography and the pages format should become part of the whole visual support.
