Analog Algorithm, a book by Christoph Grünberger, is a toolbox for designing new forms. It deals with grid-based design and teaches readers techniques for developing new forms, typefaces, logos, and patterns.
Summary: The layout of Analog Algorithm imitates the appearance of a status screen on every single page, displaying both parameters and graphics. The accompanying website creates the perfect connection. Through very (www)-archaic, frame-by-frame animations, exemplary pages from individual chapters actually become the named status screens. On a grid of 3 x 4 fields, users learn more about the style and principles of the publication. A footer shows a synthesis of the cover, product information, product images, and links to publisher and author.

Details
Structure
The website animation is designed so that only .gif graphics are used, which by their nature allow no intermediate stages but are clearly animated manually, frame by frame. They form the "analog" created part.
Audio
The sound used is accordingly "computer-generated." A spherical electro-sound is employed here.
