About
Project quickread is the brain child of a small team of media design students... who just happen to have an obsessive interest in the dynamic aspects of the written and spoken languages.
Pulling from backgrouds in landscape architecture, architecture, and motion graphics, the team strove to create an interactive book that could engage the user with the environment that surrounds him.

This scheme utilized an always-new, crowd-sourced cover image for the start screen, emphasizing the use of dynamic, creative content.
