Marks and Meaning, version zero

Rate this book
Warning: DON'T BUY THIS BOOK if you are uncomfortable with unfinished work! This is version zero, much of the content is still in a vague and formative stage. Marks and meaning is a work in progress; an evolving exploration of visual language, visual thinking and visual work practices by the founder and Chairman of XPLANE, the visual thinking company. An unfinished work, it's a hybrid: part sketchbook, part textbook, part workbook, and continuously updated by the author, based on feedback and conversations with readers. This is version zero: the first version available to the public.

307 pages, 6" x 9", perfect binding, black and white interior ink

I had a great time with version 1.0 a couple of years ago when it first came out. The author invites the reader to contribute right on the page of this self-professed "unbook": adding, doodling, revising, and so I did just that. Every page was a co-creative adventure in exploration of the visual.

The author also invites readers to send their images back to the author for further editions. I failed to send mine back in because I loved my co creations so much.

Thanks Dave for a great time. Someday,maybe, I'll send it back to you with all my additions. But for now, I think I'll just hold on!
