Irma Boom is one of the world's most influential book designers. Originating from the Netherlands, her career has spanned 30 years and over 300 books. In an age where digital media appears to be the overarching power in our everyday lives, Boom continues to produce unique and exciting printed publications. She can be viewed as an endless source of inspiration for any aspiring or professional book designer, and particularly within this project portrays the limits of what a book can look like and the limits of how it can be used, whether that's through the contemplation of size or even the strategic use of ink (or no ink).
