Introduction
-
I was asked to make a guestbook for a persian wedding in Germany. The guests have been culturally mixed and so the guest book also had to be usable for all guests. Finding a fitting solution was challenging but fun.
Concept
-
In contrast to the latin script of the western world, the Persian is a right to left writing system. Treating both cultures equally, was important for me and became an distinct part of the project.
The whole book consists of two bodies which are put together using the gatefold bookbinding technique.

Design
-
The Persian script is visually very different to the latin script and have been challenging to combine. Also as someone who can’t read the script to be used, it has been very exciting to typeset the Persian fonts.
