A casual friday late one day, I confess and apologize! Regarding this article, the regulars think of the blog has an old article which was based on a similar concept, where posternext .
To summarize the concept, the German Ian Warner of the Berlin agency Blotto Design has tried to capture an entire novel on a poster, using the book Ulysses by James Joyce as a working basis. The result was so successful and aroused such enthusiasm among his friends and colleagues, that Warner decided to turn this performance art into a source of income. Then he created an online store to sell his posters. Yes because it has others since. So you can find the texts (in English) Macbeth Shakespeare The Iliad of Homer, of Faust Goeth (containing two parts) and Capital Marx in German this time.
It is the latter which represents the largest amount of work. Indeed, with its 800,000 words, the text had to be reduced to a font size of 2.2 point. Needless to say, if you were trying to decipher the text to the naked eye, let go your nerves after a few moments! So dont you bring a magnifying glass to read at your leisure!
One wonders what is the point of this kind of creation, say that this is an original gift for lovers of literature classic. It is true that some of these works, the layout plays an important role, especially in terms of pace, something that has unfortunately gone by ...
Enough chatter, here are some images of these posters (especially that of Capital):
For Macbeth, the result is different:
Finally, here is a video made during the printing of these posters and an image that will allow you to better realize the scale!
