Black Design: Useless

This is the UseLess publication, a culmination of works and ideas from 30 international and local designers who featured in the Utterrubbish and UseLess Exhibition.

I actually found this piece before I learned about the exhibition and thought that the design was very intriguing.

The idea of a book that can be carried like a bag was interesting enough but if you see someone carrying something like that with " rubbish" written on it, you are immediately drawn to it.

From a distance it just looks like a paper bag, the design on the front doesn't give anything away that it is in fact a book.

The outside and inside of the book are beautifully designed and crafted and definitely a piece of work in its own right as well as a book produced for an exhibition

This is a visual metaphor represent the book which is full of ideas as a bag full of useless things
