This short editorial project is part of the first assignment of the course and tells a short plant story: “Isabella da Messina” by Boccaccio’s Decameron. I chose to tell the story as a kind of mosaic, illustrating pieces that represent the most relevant elements of the story, from the characters to the most significant events and places. Then I assembled and grouped them to tell the secession of the events.

Things that talk

The course aims to provide tools and method for the graphic design of the image for publishing through field research and the creation of prototypes. Design is mainly intended as narrative, as the ability to reconstruct a logical narrative structure starting from a reasoned combination of acquired elements. We are submerged by an immense quantity of images that are increasingly strident, disharmonious, screamed, multiform and disrespectful; they multiply daily, impose themselves everywhere and take possession of our lives, condition our choices. When there is too much to see, we end up seeing nothing and paradoxically to see better we need to close our eyes.
