Final book version!

It seems to be more successful simply because you don't pay attention to my bad silhouetting but more to the text and to the treatment of it... especially when it prints out it's even more so! That green version looks like a circus show, or is it just me? It's all over the place and the color takes away from the meaning, gaphics, text, etc.
Well enjoy...

KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE DOT

Here goes the second draft of a Polka Dot book.

Took a lot of things out from what I had before.

I'm trying to play with this stuff and make it light and easy to comprehend.

Have you seen a dot?

My first draft of an experimental booki which half of it is going to be written in Braille code and the other would be in regular text forthose ofus who can see. The Braille part would say the same thing as the regular text is. Please do give feedback.

Need help with Braille!

I'm trying to find out why there are different ways of writing Braille code? some are embossed only and some are embossed and beveled in the same time. As follows:

Braille Code

So I was thinking on this polka dot topic of mine...
What are polka dots to most of us? A pattern, most would say. What else, decoration? Definitely the term is associated with something visually striking and distinct... but than I thought to myself, where else have I seen dots in distinct patterns? Well on those little sign that are placed right underneath the 'toilet' sign or some other directory signage which most of us don't really pay attention to. Those signs are placed there for those of us who can't see and they are written in Braille Code—the way for blind people to read and write.
Well that's something really deep... those who can see, see decoration in patterned dots and those ho can't see, perceive patterned dots as a necessity and a way to see.
The following is some research I did on the topic:

This a website that I found which converts normal text into

Braille Code (could be a very helpful thing if I decide to
incorporate it into my project).

And this is what Braille alphabet looks like in dots.

And this is some research I did on the Braille code history
and examples of it in everyday life.

And here's what I'd like to do with this whole thing: I can make a book that would consist of a certain amount of spreads and each one would consist of two pages, one for those of us who can see and it would have things that are visually striking as polka dots. And the other page is for those who can't see and is going to be written in Braille code (what is it going to say is an issue... either describe in detail what's going on on the other page or be something completely unrelated to the other page like a poem, an anecdote, etc.)
