Something as normal as a book with its usual formatting can be changed and questioned. Designing the pages in a unique way or making it interactive so that when you flip the page it creates a new design is very interesting. Making a book a piece of conceptual art that has meaning in its display and not just the words or images can be powerful and add an additional layer of meaning.
Text can also be altered an used to bring about meaning. Often I tend to just write without thinking of the using literary devices that could make my prose more meaningful or easier and pleasant to read. I really like how Edward Gorey chose to use a rhythmic pattern in his book that make you want to flip to the next page so that the rhythm is not broken.
Picking fonts has always been one of my favorite things to do for any project, but I did not realize how important the placement of them were as well. The spacing, size or repetition of words can make a impact on the words themselves.
