The Process Manual: A Manual Explaining 7 Different Processes was created as an exploration intended to issue notice of new relationships between a set of books selected by Noelle J. Olsen from the Marriott Library at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. The book focuses on processes that professions go through on a daily basis and how they tell their own story. Each section connects through similar thought processes and/or materials, while teaching the reader about the process itself.
The idea for this book was inspired by Super Welcome to Graphic Wonderland by Thomas Bruggiser and Michel Fries. Bruggiser and Fries approached 12 European designers and asked them to create and design an entire chapter for the book using their artistic freedom. When the book came together, each section was completely different in subject matter and style, but still cohesive in purpose. This use of a book was interesting to me and I took this when creating The Process Manual.
