Theme of the semester was "apocalypse and end time scenarios". I created this book from the idea of using texts from the bible, preliminary the book of revelation. As a source text I used a the "Jewish New Testament" which includes Jewish terms that are explained and gives reverences to Old Testament scripture. To the text of the book of revelation I added texts from the Old Testament (Jewish translation) and end time speeches from the book of Mathew. I used inspiration from Hebrew also as typographic input. The letter "jod" (on the cover: chosen by its cabalistic meaning – God the energetic point of everything) . I used it to mark the beginning of new verses . For footnotes I used other Hebrew letters, starting with "aleph". I defined the type area to work out with a marginal column that could hold the written out information of the term explanations and reverence scriptures. The main text yields space for the marginal text.
