Wind-Up Bird Chronicle Posters

digital imagery

ongoing

Chapter titles of Haruki Murakami's novel “The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle” were used as a starting point for an experimental image-making exercise. There are 68 in total. They adhere to simple rules: each poster must include the chapter title and be a portrait A3 in size.

“Cinnamon’s Missing Links” was exhibited at ‘Typographic Earthquake,’ Espacio B, Madrid, as part of Typomad 2015.
