Proposal cover
"Understanding media"
by Canadian academic author Marshall Macluhan.
Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari were not the only ones that made use of the idea of machine for explaining their thoughts and view of the world, the idea of machine was also omnipresent in many art movements and is also present in the work of Marshall MacLuhan, the Canadian professor who saw machines and media as extension of man and is a reference across communication professionals for his famous title"the medium is the message". Here I took one of his titles, "Understanding Media" to create a book cover.
The art of the cover is shown below, an assemblage made of a clay sculpture, cut paper and drawings.
