The print design for Unbordering Worlds, created by Inter Design, is a striking visual representation of the exhibition's themes of reclamation and political unrest. It’s centered around the story of two artists working to reclaim the river Ibër, an area long deemed a no-man’s land between the Serbians and Albanians.
The typography of the Unbordering Worlds print design stands out with its bold, minimalist approach. The large, yellow “Unbordering” text on the cover immediately catches the viewer's eye, creating a sense of urgency and energy. This is juxtaposed against the stark, almost clinical white background, which makes the text stand out.
The yellow, a bright and aggressive hue seen both on the cover and within the pages of the book, contrasts sharply with the black-and-white photography of the surrounding spaces. This visual contrast not only creates a strong focal point but also reflects the complex, often painful history of the region, while also suggesting hope and a call for connection.
The book’s cover features a skeletal frame of a structure, echoing themes of boundaries and borders, while the yellow lines cutting through the frame hint at the potential for overcoming those boundaries. Inside, the book continues this theme with images that blend the landscape and architecture of the Ibër region.
This book cover design does more than just represent an exhibition; it immerses viewers in the themes of division, unity, and reclamation that the project aims to address. With its bold typography, dynamic color contrasts, and symbolic imagery, the design communicates both the tension and the hope embedded in the story of the Ibër River.
