Perfection is a myth and reality is messy. A perfectionist approach to design is therefore difficult, not to say impossible or unattainable. However, the digital and human errors inherent in the design process can open up unexpected perspectives. With this in mind, Broken Transitions is a trilogy of editorial artifacts that explores the creative potential of error. Based on the concept of transduction between media (between digital and physical formats), the project highlights how errors, often seen as anomalies to be corrected, can become poetic elements or engines of meaning and expression.

This editorial project is developed around three printed objects, which address different categories of error: unintended, unintentional errors, resulting from technical, human or material limitations; reclaimed or recovered errors, discovered by chance and deliberately preserved; provoked errors, resulting from deliberate sabotage or misuse of technology.

Each volume has its own graphic identity, shaped by its particular relationship with a typology of error, combining slants, misalignments, flaws, overlapping pages and experiments in typographic manipulation. Ultimately, the project questions the pursuit of perfection in design processes, inviting us to see errors and anomalies as creative opportunities.
