La Interrupción – book cover design

La Interrupción – book cover design

I was fortunate to be invited to design the cover for the book La Interrupción, by Toni Segarra and Edu Pou.

“Traditionally, advertising has been understood as an interruption in people's lives, which bursts into their living room, their newspaper, their car or the street, without being invited. But at some point, the internet came along, and the premise changed radically: advertising would stop interrupting, and the public would go looking for it voluntarily, having regained their free will. Has that happened? What would an uninterrupted world look like? Wouldn't disruption really be an essential mechanism for human survival?”

Edu Pou & Toni Segarra are two advertisers who focused of a series of conversations to answer these questions.

The cover highlights this contrasting conversation with contrasting typography, and the typography subtly interrupting itself.
