Items related to A Book about Signs
Open: A Book of Signs is a whimsical look at the signs that surround us. From road signs to memorial plaques, from traffic lights to placards to semaphores, signs communicate to us in different ways. Russell Weekes sparkling wit and bold graphics play with the ways signs are presented and how we interpret them, finding connections between signs, and picking out unusual qualities. The book is aimed at children, but is presented with a layer of nuance that will delight adults as well, appealing to a graphically literate audience. The cover is greyboard, and the Open sign lifts up to reveal the author s name and further info underneath. Inside, the book is printed on thick, chunky stock in three colours bringing to mind the look of books from the 1970s and 80s.
