After analysing Reading MVRDV, I was influenced by it's simple layout and use of only three colours. I've portrayed this with the three colours red, white and black and placing text on the left side of the spread and a full page image on the right side. There is also a vague relationship between the images and the text where the text does not have a direct mention of the projects portrayed, however it is clear that the images are used to compliment the text. Also, the title of the essays are vague and do not depict the content. These ideas can be seen in my Atlas of Colour. Navigation through my Atlas takes place as a means of time with the digital watch interface on the bottom left.

The tunnel book is inspired by a particular scene in Sin City, where the dead girl lies in a pool of red fabric in the shape of heart. I find this is pivotal point in the film. The tunnel is looking through a high-rise window into the carvings of heart-shapes into vellum paper of red and yellow shades. The contracting shapes draws the attention of the viewer to delve deep into the space. Trace paper creates a foggy impression which is the light and shade of the film noir era. I experimented with the translucency of various types of paper to ensure that underneath layers can be viewed.
