This is a visual diary documenting the process of research project exploring the typographic rhythm in written text. Literary Landscapes started as my final thesis (BA) in graphic design for the Lahti Institute of Design under the name Saramago Reconstructed: The work has been a visual analysis of Ensaio Sobre a Cegueira (Blindness) by José Saramago, exploring the visual rhythm of the authors writing from original portugese edition and comparing it to english and finnish translations by means of information aesthetics.
