Discovering the enormous range of Nothing in people's lives gave me some ideas for my book design. My journey to reveal the real Nothing, all those Somethings hidden in Nothing should be reflected in book binding and design. I realized that I could utilize a great potential of folded books. A simplest fold such as folded corner can be so intriguing. A reader feel tempted to unfold it to see what it hides. The book becomes almost interactive.
The principle of book folding can be then taken to a whole new level to create something truly amazing. I found some examples of artistic book folding which aims to create a sculpture or of unwanted books. It's so worth sharing.

About Me
- Katarzyna Matuszewska
- I grew up in a small town in Poland believing that the only boundaries that should not be crossed were those which I set up for myself. Now, living in the cultural blur of a cosmopolitan city I stick to that rule. I cross boundaries between cultures, languages, between print and web, between journalism and design in search of original creative fusions. I graduated from University of Westminster in 2010 with a Masters Degree with Distinction in Design for Communication. I also hold a First Class BA in Journalism with Media and Cultural Studies from Kingston University, which gives me a combined knowledge of editorial and design practices. Having previously worked for The Sunday Times Magazine, Haymarket and Think Publishing, I have experience in publishing and design industries and a strong passion for editorial design. I am a great (bilingual) communicator, a competent writer and a designer. I produce imaginative magazine layouts to convey the publication‘s editorial mission and specialise in magazine launch and redesign projects. If you think your organisation could benefit from my knowledge and experience, please get in touch.
