Witnessing Time
Editorial DesignPrompt
To produce a publication inspired by an image.
Design SolutionA calendar designed by Heinrich Lefler and Joseph Urban in 1899 inspired this project to center around tracking methods, with time as the main element to be tracked.
Therefore, the book is designed to function as a comprehensive tracking tool through its grid system. The grid is divided into five horizontal rows, with the active area determined by the duration being tracked in each artwork featured in the book, which was created by ten artists and designers who explored tracking time through their projects.

The rows expand according to the duration tracked by the artist, starting from hours with one row and expanding to days, weeks, months, and years, adding one row for each longer period.
