Flatland

FLATLAND: A Romance of Many Dimensions is an 1884 satirical novella by the English schoolmaster Edwin Abbott. 

BRIEF:

Design a ‘collectable’ publication. Your only production parameter is the use of a single A0 sheet and some method of packaging/mailing. My Interpretation of the design for flatland is based on the individual shapes and the roles within Flantland. I have updated the colour them to 2009, to look more appealing to my target audience. 

POSTER: 

1184mm in height and 420mm in width printed onto material, It folds up into A5 size to fit into my packaging. The creative design for this piece was to show the hierarchy of each individual shape. Circle shape Has the most authority then hexagon, pentagon , square , triangle and finally the lower class of all the lines. 

A5 CARDS: 

6 cards in total, each card has a different shape on the back of the card. Each card describes the role of the shape in Flatland.

PACKAGING: 

The box is made from card, the purpose is to hold the 6 cards and the printed material poster within it. Design around the box is of all the different elements on the poster.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

I aim to enlightening the minds of young children in their primary school years. Primary 5/7 pupils, who have the knowledge of shape dimensions, and want to know more abut them. I want to inspire them to become more than what they think they can achieve and believe the unbelievable, just like the square in the book.
