“With me“ is an interactive book about friendship, courage, relating to oneself and relating to others. It is based on the idea of creating a “friendship book“ and we’ve made a point to ensure that the contents deal with topics that an adult target group can relate to.
There is no set order in which the different pages of the book have to be read. There is a colourful mixture of texts, articles, photographs, questions and pages with interactive elements. It’s what makes the book accessible to everyone in almost every situation during the day. Depending on the readers mood, they can decide freely on which topic they’re most interested in.
The contents of the book can be divided into four categories (“Look“, “Listen“, “Go Ahead“ and “Tell yourself“), which can be identified by their differing looks and small icons. The contents of the book can be read, heard, written, doodled and traded.
The use of uncoated paper combines functionality and appearance. The book is intended to encourage people to question social habits, listen carefully to others, dare to approach one another and help to deepen existing connections. It shows that active cooperation and the resulting situations enrich and influence everyday life.
This book is a group project done in cooperation with Kim Janke.
