A book to explain the Code of Points for trampoline competitions. The grid is the same dimensions as a 6x4 trampoline bed (the olympic standard in 2005). The chaptering is divided into 10 chapters - the execution of a trampoline routine is marked out of 10. The book is bound using a metal wire comb - which looks similar to a trampoline spring. The page numbering appears where a trampolinist should be during a skill - up high and in the middle!

 

The font chosen for the book is Futura. It is based on pure shapes - as is trampolining. 

 

The book had to be rotated to be read - I wanted the reader to feel what it would be like to compose a trampoline routine - by spinning the book - I hoped the reader would get a sense of the dizzying twisting and turning that goes on during a trampoline routine.
