quickread
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.

One of the most valuable aspects of language is its ability to engage the reader and activate a discussion. Quickread seeks to empower the user by providing a platform for dialogue and interaction.

Reading and comprehending media has become increasingly social, while the indivudal understanding is important, it is the shared experience over media that creates an even broader comprehension of the world (whether that is text, imagery, or a combination of the two).

Emphasizing the social engagement of reading, quickread goes beyond the initial layer of comprehension and provides the user a platform to share and critique both the visual and aural environment in which they counter stimulating (or at times, seemingly mundane) moments of communication.
