Beyond the Blue
Beyond the Blue is a book about environmental issues related to the sea. Each chapter is introduced by a distinct color chip that shows a different face of the ocean. A green chip stands for a healthy sea forest, while a red chip refers to a sea darkened by whale blood. Color is used as a simple and universal way to explain complex environmental topics to readers of all ages. The book measures 187 mm by 245 mm and has 90 pages. Printing uses soybean oil ink on 100 g matte paper, and thread binding reduces the use of glue.
