Book with polish folk dialect.
Book with polish folk dialect.
Babel, as we know from the Bible is the confusion and chaos of languages caused by God.
We do not know how authentic is the story, but the world's linguistic diversity is a fact. I limited the world
to Poland, and I made a book in which text turns into a Polish folk dialect. I made the division into dialect:
Mazowiecki, Podlasia, Kashubian, Wielkopolski, Małopolski and Silesia. The partition is visible throug the
use of the color key and cut-out illustrations known as Polish folk art. Using: gwiozdy, zielki, masuria and
the kashubian embroidery I tried to show character of the region.
All images are made up from the letters of the Bodoni Bold font and are designed, and cut-out by me.
I introduced color between pages to show the real cut-out art. Each word in this book has own meaning,
which can be discovered behind the diamond shape slit. Ridge is hand-wooven in the warp using tapestry style.

The book is part of my master degree in graphic design at the Acaademy of Fine Arts in Gdansk.
