bookbinding proposal

Description

The proposed design reflects the specific idea of the warping of reality. Sieved through simplicity, lines become representational. The cover depicts the warp with “FICCIONES” and “BORGES” flanking it down the spine, all characters being blind tooled. The front and back covers open to reveal a leather doublure and flyleaf combination that cyclically continues the cover design. The back doublure mimics the cover “warp” with dots that represent the points of changing line direction, but inverted to hold continuity. Both the cover and the interiors would be of safflower yellow morocco.
