BA diploma project with a distinction.
Schoolbooks in Poland are not at the highest quality level of illustrations and whole layout (which is unnessesery in publisher's eyes) and readability of typography. This BA degree project is a kind of manifesto of schoolbooks design. It can teach music through content and teach visual art by its graphic form. This schoolbook is based on inspiration of Egyptian method of showing the world, which has a strong pictographic character. To disorder graphic design style there are full-page illustrations with interpretations of songs by contemporary artists (Dawid Podsiadło, U2, Adele and Grzegorz Ciechowski), which are one of many rhythm markers in the publishing.
