This genre-challenging book is interesting and current, extending into fields of poetry, photography and that of a journal. Aesthetics is impressively plain. Measured use of space, pictorial, and limited typography carry a voice both quiet and strong.

Atlas Part 1: Islands
- Graphic design, illustration and published by Emmi Jormalainen
- Printed and bound by Eura Print Oy
- Paper Cocoon Offset 140g
- Typeface Hand lettering
Inside greenish cover hides a pencil-drawn pondering world. No typeset breaks the intimate entity, every letter is hand-written. Book brings us greetings from the silent, where the time and place are only defined through the whispering sound of a pencil.

Strict layout of the exhibition catalogue is softened with pink headlines, quotes and backgrounds. Design is timeless, modern and true to the art it represents. Photographs are bright and suit the matte-coated paper. Typesetting in the cover combines graphic clarity and playfulness successfully.

This book replaces the conventions of bookishness with unashamed selfhood, and relies instead on colour and image. Type is hidden inside a dust cover that opens into a poster form. Uncompromising design extends to the raw cardboard cover bound with orange thread. Design consists of odd-colour pages setting the pace for photographs: the result is a fine symphony.
