Karel Martens: Unbound
I was inspired by Karel Martens' book Unbound published by @roma.publications to make my own fan zine!
I was equally drawn to its visual language and physicality: the exposed perfect binding, thin almost translucent paper, and the use of top-edge (head) binding, which subtly shifts how the book is held and read. These choices don’t just support the content—they are the content, foregrounding structure, process, and interaction.
