How Does the Making of a Book Full of Dots Communicate?

     Dots work as a tool really for making an image, not laterally but in an indirect way. The way they are arranged in of most importance in order to communicate their meaning. If not place in a systematic fashion how people see the image will be distorted, but by placing them correctly the compositions will trigger memory, relationships and similar thoughts and ideas of the person viewing the image. By allowing for this sort of communication the viewer is both engaged  in finding the mean and discovering the abstraction of how this meaning was communicated simply by using dots.
     The materials and imager used in to form the dots and the environment of the dots is also very important in making connections. These kinds of things can make connections between multiple images making them cohesive or simply just by expanding the meaning through added variables when done in a subtle but pleasing manner. The materials can also be the factor which draws the attention of the viewer, by attraction an emotion or educational function related to the topic of the subject.
     This concept also deals with the format of putting the materials together. The way multiple images are put together or combined determines how the viewer approaches the subject. A book for example requires the touch of the view another form or engagement allowing them to interact with the images and create time with their fingers. The simple turning of the page shows progression and a process of thought, also making the order of the placement in images important as well.
