Voyage au centre de la Terre – Jules Verne
The French graphic studio Atelier Tout va bien conducted a heavy total of 24 workshops with eight school classes from elementary schools and up to middle schools around the classic novel Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne. They designed a book to reflect this work, commissioned by Le Signe, the national center for graphic design in Chaumont (France).
The texts set in Coline Première and Coline Extrême are used as an expressive material that reflects the story of this crazy journey to the center of the Earth.
The publication has been printed in duotone (black and silver) on beer packaging paper by Media Graphic. 200×310 mm, 108 pages. Limited edition (300 ex.).
Here is the layout where professor Otto Lidenbrock and his nephew Alex start climbing the Snæfell in Iceland before entering its crater. In order to integrate the complete novel the publication is set here in Coline Première in a 6.4 points type size.
Pages 74 to 86: Lidenbrock’s team has made a sailing makeshift raft and are wandering through the “Lindenbrock Sea” thanks to the high winds of this underground sea.
Pages 86 to 96: Alex, professor Otto Lidenbrock’s nephew, discovers an island and gets the right to name this island after himself following several days of sailing.
