In response to ISTD Brief 2 (Weather Dependent), I designed a book exploring the Shipping Forecast. My aim was to examine how a practical weather report has become a national cultural ritual, broadcast daily on BBC Radio 4.

The publication experiments with typography to reflect the rhythm and cadence of the spoken forecast. It is structured in three parts: a glossary translating forecast terminology into clear definitions, a typographic interpretation of the broadcast itself inspired by concrete poetry, and a series of graphic maps representing maritime regions with their names and coordinates.
