Various Objects is a self-published book that takes an in-depth look into the ethos of objects influenced by modernism.
In designing the book, Sinhui Teh took the same modernist approach and gave it a more streamlined and contemporary character.
The objects reviewed in the book are presented a la Mondrian – framed in squares and rectangles with defined outlines. They are in a muted monochromatic look, with just a color pop. In between chapters are bright red blank pages, excellent for transitioning and breaking the pages!
Page headlines and important texts are written in all caps and large letters, effectively emphasizing critical information. The designer leveraged the use of negative space through firmly-packed content and sharply-cut text alignments (Know why brand typography matters).
Overall, all pages are legible, and the whitespace helped the visuals stand out.
