Vincent (Graduation Project 2010) How do we read on the internet and is it possible to design a printed publication that offers the same kind of non-hierachial experience as browsing through an internet website? I have asked myself these questions for my graduation project Vincent. I researched our Reading behavior at the Web, by analyzing peoples web-browser histories. The source I chose for showing my research is the novel Vincent by Joey Goebel. Using the text of this book, I designed two separate versions of the same book, entitled Vincent I and Vincent II. The difference between the two is my choice of structure and accompanying referential internet source. Like on the internet I don't offer my reader anything more than choices, in my specific case visual choices. The reader of the book has the possibility to become his or her own editor, make the decision of how he or she wants to read the book, by him / herself. The design and typographic choices of the books is beguilingly simple, I introduced a system of footnotes cross-links and paper choices to help the reader to discover his or her own way to the complex structure of this publication.
