"typographic reflections1 applied the leader of the japanese newspaper berlin no kabe jisshitsu hokai (the berlin wall falls) in kinetic style. it became at the same time an explanation of the triad of the japanese script."
It was a nice of Helmut Schmid to give me a set of Typography Reflection. Each copy is covered with a a beautiful design envelope. Typography Reflections started in 1992 due to respond of Chaotic typography in the 90's. Typography Reflection 1 is titled "The Berlin Wall Falls" ( headline of the asashi newspaper). It also dedicated to Berlin and Berliner.
I wasn't get the idea the first time opening of the booklet. I opened the booklet and feel that there is something wrong on this booklet. Surprisingly, I didn't expected to open the booklet form left to the right. The eliminations of the letters from the complexity to the most simplicity are just extraordinary. It reflects the collapse of the Berlin wall.
If you like to have to typographic reflections, it's still available at helmut schmid design except the special edition "road to basel".
