本书是相关平面设计史的内容，设计师希望读者自身可以参与到叙事体验之中。使读者更容易了解书中的内容，同时让读者保持对内容的好奇，书籍做了互动的设计，设计师没有选择传统的装订方式，他将书页边缘焚烧，撒上白色粉末来模拟尘土。让书籍看起来更像历史悠久的古董文物。 文本字号也被特意设计得细小不可读，必须使用放大镜才能看清。 尝试引导读者戴上防尘手套，拿起刷子和放大镜，像“考古学家”一样去认真研究历史。 这是一本需要读者亲自参与体验的书籍。

The book is about the history of graphic design. Designer want to engage audience in a more dynamic narrative experience and help them at the same time to understand the book more easily. In order to hold audience’s interest, adding interactiveness to the book, designer did not choose the traditional way to binding the book, designer burning the edge of the page make the book more ancient and sprinkle with white powder to make it dusty, which is make it look like have long history as cultural relics.
