The Virtuous Book
Tells two parallel stories in the same text. The first, an essay from Gui Bonsiepe on the Virtues of Design; the second, a text of your choice. Both should tell a story. Together, they should inform, inspire, and delight the reader.

This book was designed by using Gui Bonsiepe ‘Some Virtues of Design’ as the primary text, and Josef Müller-Brockmann ‘Reputations interview’ as the secondary text. A combination of text in one book that explains Bonsiepe’s virtues for the future
generations and some comments and ideas from one of the most influential graphic designers in history.
I feel that everyone should be able to read some of his ideas along with the virtues of design. He has fascinating ways of explaining design principles which I think will keep transcending in time. And since Gui Bonsipe's purpose was to translate the virtues of designs that should be passed on into future generations, I felt it was perfect to pair them up with the essay and interview.
Typography
