The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time

The Curious Incident
of the Dog in the Night-time
 
I typeset Mark Haddon's Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, a story told from the point of view of an autistic savant named Christopher. This project was a great opportunity to explore Christopher's systematic world through systems of typographic formatting and color.
 
Here, I strove to create a dialogue between the published material and the author by exposing Christopher's strange, quirky voice. Using colored overprinting, I literally introduced a second layer of reading.
