Everything is designed. From parking tickets, to event flyers, to price stickers to clothing labels. These everyday mundane pieces of paper have all gone through some sort of transformative design process to become transient, ephemeral objects with which we interact, without a second thought. Paper Trails exists as a portable book of everyday inspiration for graphic designers, archiving unnoticed creativity into a tactile and interactive book. With each section, the material changes to reflect the nature of the ephemera, pushing designers to focus on the grounding effect of the physical senses – something which is often overlooked with today’s over-reliance on flat digital aesthetics.
