13 months and 11k lines of code later, i’ve finished up the choose your own adventure project. all told i ended up cataloging a dozen books from the early-to-mid 80s, looking for patterns in their construction and in the paths made by different readers through them.
these short, simple books had a surprisingly complicated structure with their interlocking pages & choices. as a kid the idea of writing one and keeping all those pages straight boggled my mind. what was lost on me at the time was that even a list of hundreds of page numbers can be comprehensible if it’s redrawn as a diagram. these days i feel like i approach everything that way.
so here is my look back at an obsession from my past, using graphical obsessions of the present to guide the way.

Uncannily accurate selection of music to mirror an initially specified artist or song. good sound quality too....
some *amazing* designs in here.
Precisely what it sounds like. But I bet you didn't expect for there to be an e-commerce angle to it....
This'd better not be a gateway drug to going to renaissance fairs....
I suppose if they're going to add a comics section, they ought to do it right.
Gorgeous stuff. Why does it always seem like exciting packaging ended in the 70s?
Does anyone devote as much energy to avoiding simple, sensible solutions as the modern graphic designer?
An excellent post about the commodore 64 `scene' in the 80s. Great links at bottom.
i never thought there'd be something in the Travelog by a Twentysomething genre that i actually wanted to read
Wow. Whose idea was it to do a police-state PSA in a russian constructivist style?
a confessional of sorts but in the form of neatly designed postcards people mail in with their shocking revelation
some ridiculously cool examples of what can be done with the quartz imaging libraries.
Some rather clever artwork. The averaging pieces (in particular the real estate photos) and the height & weight distribution are my favorites...
Until gmaps adds realtime bus data, this will keep me safely away from 511....
Some beautiful stuff here. Even worse, it actually communicates something for a change.
