The artwork that was chosen for this project is presented below. It's used to the cover of the book After the Mass-Age by Chris Riley. The design is fairly simple. A grid created out of dots, which is accompanied by a title and author text. What makes it interesting to me is the distortion. Which makes certain dots translated out of the grid. This immediately made me think about certain interactions. Like moving your mouse through the grid and the dots would repel and attract.
