Posters that include the entire text of a book are not a new idea, but this example is both visually stunning and conceptually strong.
Created by Saloniki-based design studio Beetroot, the poster links with red ink all instances of words “Romeo” and “Juliet”.
Ideas that seem impossible to realize with traditional media, including design software, often trigger concepts for self initiated projects. Using technology not just for the sake of it but as an aid device in order to design with it, we built some custom tools.
The word “Romeo” appears 308 times in William Shakespeare’s most famous tragedy, “Juliet” – 180 times. That makes 55,440 connections.
Designers from Beetroot included all these connections in the poster, creating an attention-drawing visual, evoking feelings of love and blood.
You can buy the poster on Mangel-Wurzel online store.
