Punctuated Literary Posters

These Renderings of Iconic Literary Novels Reveal Only Punctuation

— January 27, 2016 — Art & Design
Removing the words from a novel leaves behind an endless amount of punctuation and that's exactly what designer Nicholas Rougeux did to eight classic literary novels. Stripping the classic books of all dialogue and descriptions, Rougeux created a series of punctuation-only novels.

Rougeuz titles this series 'Between the Words' and takes such literary novels as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Huckleberry Finn, Moby Dick, Peter Pan, Pride and Prejudice, The Christmas Carol as well as The Time Machine and removes all of their words, leaving behind punctuation, which he arranges in a big spiral. The series was inspired by Stefanie Posavec's 'Writing Without Words' data visualizations which colorfully chart the structure -- but not the actual prose -- of many iconic novels.

Outfitted on 24" × 36" poster paper, this series makes the perfect gift for English majors or literature fans.
Trend Themes
1. Punctuation-based Art - Opportunity for artists and designers to explore a new form of literary art using visible punctuation marks from various forms of literature as inspiration.
2. Non-textual Visualization - Opportunity for data visualization experts to create visually appealing interpretations of literary works through creative representation of symbols and punctuation.
3. Novel Deconstruction - Opportunity to deconstruct traditional methods of storytelling and create new forms of literary experiences using unconventional techniques like removing all dialogue and description to leave only punctuation marks.
Industry Implications
1. Art and Design - Using punctuation marks to create new and unique forms of art pieces and posters that appeal to literature fans and enthusiasts.
2. Publishing - Opportunity to create innovative and interactive e-books and digital experiences by incorporating creative data visualization techniques that interpret literary works.
3. Education - Developing educational strategies and materials that use non-textual techniques such as exploring literary works through the use of visible punctuation marks and symbols.
