“Toward Forming” is an anthology of early works by Sekai Kozuma, who has several aspects including an artist, a writer and a curator. Kamimura & Co. designed a book with the stimulating color palette, typography and materials so that it reflected the author’s philosophy completely on the visual of the book. This book has a very noticeable cover and edge, but the page inside has a quiet and calm appearance. It looks as light as a paperback book but it is heavy as a hardcover book. The sequence of stimulants and soothing invite readers to a confusing reading experience.

In addition to this book, we designed a website and motion graphics for its promotion, and graphics for related events based on the same concept. Our aim was to design experience of reading in this project: not only the book itself but also the environment surrounding the book.
