(Abstract) "This thesis will, through a graphic design perspective, discuss a format in flux.
It examines the idea of the book format as a material body, as an image and as a conceptual format.
The appearance and perception of the material manifestation of chosen design issue lay in mediating through versions of books—referring to a wider perspective of book design, which among other formats, socially and culturally is affected by the Digital Age. The thesis will further discuss the excitement in tweaking already existing experiences of formats, in order to critically address a notion of change."
