"Many people today are concerned about alienation, the tensions and anxiety that come with social polarisation. My thesis argues that the effects of immersive, paper-based reading on brain function, such as increased empathy, critical-analytical thinking and improved attention, can help us to live better together and bring disparate social groups closer together. These benefits could be enhanced through community building, for example by organising reading circles or community libraries open to all."

"...The visual identity is primarily based on typography. The use of black, curved headlines and old title pages inspired typography is evident in all design elements. This is complemented by the frames, which highlights the curved headlines. The serif typeface evokes works of fiction, but when used with strong colour gradients it still creates a fresh overall effect." - Zoltán Visnyai
