Disabstraction - Big Bang Theory for All

The approach: To simplify the vagueness and complexity of scientific text by the usage of unconventional imagery. This concept adds beauty and elegance to the topic, as short definitions are gently extracted from the complex scientific content.

The interaction between text and images is the fundamental concept in this booklet, created in order to maximize imagination of the written work. All the visuals in the booklet are created by using a technique of combining drawing with light and photography. The images are carefully rehearsed to suit the subject matter and later converted to gray scale images and then inverted. Tadaa ....
