In the recent collaboration with German publisher Steidl and Theseus Chan of WERK magazine, the the publication brought up an interesting idea of how each publication will be uniquely different based on the readers interaction. Upon receiving the book, the entirety of it is sealed, forcing the reader to interact with the publication to gain access to the content inside.
The reader can cut through the tape like in this example or slowly peel it off. With each method the book becomes unique to each reader and as a result establishes a conversation or interaction between the designer and the reader.
In terms of the publication design, my intentions aren't to go as extreme as this collaboration, however my initial ideas of including a tearable front cover which acts as a poster would hopefully relate to the idea of creating a unique reader influenced design and a conversation between the designer and reader.
