Cover design for a Goldsmiths University Press publication, that drawing insight and inspiration from recent analyses of digital labour, community economies and post-capitalism. The idea for the design was a suggestion of a render of a digital mapping system, inspired by the author, Ben Burbridge, harnessing the ubiquity of photography to cognitively map contemporary capitalism in search of its weak spots and levers, sites of resistance, and opportunities to build better worlds.
The Foundry Flek font family was used as a nod to the process of mapping, points of discussion and the bringing together of cultural criticism, social history, and political philosophy. Foundry Flek is based on an integral dot matrix grid system that creates all its letterforms.
It also has this same grid matrix in the background of the letters, which was used as a conceptual framework, a canvas layer for the mapping of complex systems and a multitude of topics that are covered in the content.
