In this book about new media,
a two-column grid contains the
main body of text. The pull
quotes, running across two
columns, are framed in thinly
ruled boxes that suggest the
overlapping “windows” on a
computer screen. The top
margin, which resembles the
tool bar in a browser, provides
an interface to the book.
