Revealing insights into the evolving relationship between citizens and the state emerge from the public opinion survey conducted by Kapa Research on behalf of the Heinrich Böll Stiftung Greece, in September 2025. Employing a comprehensive set of questions, the survey captured citizens’ perceptions of institutional structures, specific public services, and social phenomena, alongside their subjective emotional responses to these realities.

The Foundation’s aim was to present a selection of the above research results in the form of a printed brochure, with the goal of informing the public and raising awareness of the findings’ criticality. Its design was based on a modular system of Excel-type cells inspired by the graphic language of the main content — namely, the graphs themselves — which is not confined to them alone but instead shapes the entire brochure, leading to a unified, dynamic composition. The colours chosen — neon orange, silver, and black — along with the dynamic use of typography, lend a bold, attention-grabbing character that corresponds to the critical nature of the research results.

In an attempt to visually address an issue as critical but also sensitive as that of Palestine, the primary concern was to approach it directly while maintaining a necessary balance — avoiding, in accordance with the character of the text, both downplaying the situation and any excessive sensationalism. Less design, but more semantically loaded.

The front cover, in a gray shade inspired by the materiality of the wall separating Israelis and Palestinians, on the one hand features the title set in heavy stencil typography — a direct reference to the spray-painted warning signs seen in Palestinian territories under Israeli occupation. On the other, however, the composition is interrupted by the debossed shape of Palestine, partially obscuring the title while evoking a slit or wound on the surface of the paper. The back cover, overlaid with a halftone photograph of ruins in Gaza, adds a further sense of directness and rawness. The cover’s design concept continues organically into the body of the book, with the first 16-page signature printed in a deep crimson colour.

Lastly, the main layout design is based on the idea of gradually expanding the inner margin (gutter) from chapter to chapter — thus gradually reducing the text width and as such incorporating into the reading process itself the notions of forced displacement and expansionism (further emphasised by the vertical lines), widening the edition’s scope into something more than a purely practical textbook.

Cover design for ‘Βάθος Πεδίου’ (Depth of Field), the latest novel by Christos Chrissopoulos, published by Εκδόσεις Οκτώ. Featuring custom type that emphasises the concept of verticality, inspired by the original WTC towers (especially as pictured in the famous ‘Falling Man’ photo by Richard Drew) — a central motif throughout the book’s narrative, with which it also kicks off. In line with the broader theme, the typographic form is fragmented but also combined with a heavy texture which erodes its ‘fineness’.
