The Integration of Image and Word: The process of designing an illustrated book

Markuz talked about the process of making his new book, Modernizing the Japanese Garden. The audience learned how media and the Web influence how we share and convey knowledge. Even reading patterns in books are changing which contain more visuals and eclectic information structures. Markuz took the audinece the audience through the design process of his book project and examined how various parts of contents converge into one coherent publication.
