Production Narrative
by
Critical Analysis
by E. Rettberg
Design Features
typographic: Swoosh caps interspersed throughout the disease-rug names lend them not only a quaint but also a sinister look.
imagery: The black-and-white patterns that make up the "rugs" are simple, and their relation to the nutritional diseases in question seems arbitrary.
graphical: Shadowy textile patterns on the facing page look vaguely real, constrasting with the clip-art-like disease rugs.
turnings: After the first page of narrative, the catalogue of rugs follows; the turning generates a surprise when the narrative text continues at the end.
development: The look is largely consistent, but the final section of narrative rewrites our understanding of what has come before.
