“The Empty Look Of Questions” [Reflections On Book - 100 Ideas That Changed Graphic Design Stephen Heller and Veronique Vienne - #76]
When vacancy or emptiness is feature on a book,
It sparks one’s curiosity – they take a second look;
Like AA book with title, and just blank on the reverse,
They turned the cover inside out, so they need not rehearse –A speech about its meaning or the problems in one’s life
To one and all, or kith and kin, as they set lives aright;
Sometimes folks need their privacy as they turn ship around,
Without the sand-bar hassle when one’s ship is run aground.Big title and big authors with thematic logo clue,
Had started in the fifties, forties record-covers too;
Though it’s all morphed into a vague and abstract motif now,
The big book, big look motif was the steppingstone of “how”.Thanks Lord for this.
