The current publication has been designed as a follow up of the participatory installation June 14, 2012. The purpose for its production was to feature the participants' interviews -elaborating on why they chose a particular object- as well as the Identity photographs that they took while 'traversing' a metaphorical itinerary -suggested before them via the conceptual context of the Installation.
The design of the catalogue is inspired by the concept of Archiving within visual culture as well as by Year-books. The idea that its function is to include the aforementioned issues as a sequel of the context within which they have been produced (June 14, 2012) is deliberate and aims at reinforcing the concept of a journey.
The overall typographic approach of June 14, 2012 draws inspiration by bureaucratic documents and archival systems, hence the use of Times New Roman and Courier New as the official typefaces of the project. Times New Roman is considered to be a default typeface used for announcements posted within the context of a public service while Courier is a contemporary digital version of the letters of a typewriter -a medium that is inextricably linked with the concept of Archiving.
