The
Non-Place
publication design
The publication design for “Baring Life and Lifestyle in the Non-Place” offers a captivating exploration of a concept that may be unfamiliar to some. The non-place refers to spaces that lack a strong sense of identity or personal connection, such as airports, shopping malls, or highways. These are transient spaces where individuals pass through without forming meaningful attachments or experiences.
The publication design aims to capture the essence of being inside a non-place and evoke the unique sensations and emotions that accompany it. The layout and visual elements reflect the flatness and lack of distinct identity associated with these spaces. The typography is minimalistic and clean, representing the uniformity and standardised nature often found in non-places.
The sentence, “A flat dimension, with the asymmetrical freedom of the individual’s mind,” serves as a powerful thematic statement. It encapsulates the contradictory nature of non-places, where physical surroundings may lack depth or character, yet the human mind is free to wander and explore asymmetrical thoughts and ideas.
Through the publication design, I have aimed to emphasise the dissonance between the impersonal nature of non-places and the rich internal experiences of individuals within them.
