Consept of the book


The visual concept of the book is very unique, it’s designed as some one could place a flower right in-between the pages for it to dry. Its extra elongated vertical form very attractive as well as comfortable to use. Size 5.5 x 17 allows the page layout been very easy to read, almost like a bible, just for natural world. The book has bin created in 21 century but still has a very historical feel. Everything is well balanced as well as typography of titles and main names is centered, style that was appropriate in the past.

The book is made of paper with different characters, such as texture, colour and more. Each page has been careful designed with extra hand drown elements on some of the transparent pages. Therefore this book is one of a kind. The black colour of the book cover gives extra impotence, the jacket of the book is in light green colour that softens and works well with feel of nature. Jacket of the book has an image of the main plant that’s been chosen to represent “Botanicum”, this image has been debossed on to the page with use of old printing presses.



And most importantly is the box, that been structured to protect the book from sunrays, dust and other damaging elements that can occur through time. Designed and made of acid free materials spatial tools for book binding. Box has been decorated with metal plate that has been etched with an image of the same flower, that’s been mentioned previously used in the book and book jacket. Similar plate has been used and attached on the book spine with the name of the book “Botanicum” with in the engraving in the same typeface.
