Establishing a coherent design of a collection of poetry, that includes works from two separate authors, firstly involves a careful separate examination and analyisis of all included pieces from both writers. This is then followed by distilling each author’s defining characteristics of their personal style of writing. Here we examined both the similarities and differences in the themes and motifs used, also including associations that come up upon reading each poem. This aids us in choosing visual elements that will serve as a dividing factor while helping us focus on the similarities between the authors and due to them having been deriven from common elements they may then serve as a linking piece and visually accentuate them. The building blocks of the chosen design arose from most commonly used motifs. The design solution proves how combining multiple authors into one volume can be relevant, if only it succeeds in bringing together both the content and design. ?
