The book component contains a dozen new exploratory texts and a whole lot of bold, graphic images created with the help of the software program's built-in tools and visuals - not to mention the fun of plastic overlays and nifty foldout pages.

It is about appropriating a contemporary, corporate staple and making something critical, beautiful and humorous with it."
