A book able to capture the attention not only of scientists excited about the science of Newton, but also artists or designers. We have created a book where color is the protagonist. From a cover that reflects the light to show us the tones that Newton described, to interiors tinted by his rainbow. The cover is made with a reflective paper that makes it 'interactive'. As you move it - the light angles change and colors are shown. Just as Newton did with the sunlight through the prisms. The inner pages are also colored, making gradient color changes throughout the book and differentiating the sections through different colors. Turning the book into an explosion of color, with an elegant layout. Each chapter is defined by a new color - following a color gradient. Once you are within that chapter, the color remains along the interior spine. This pattern repeats until the end of the book. This book is unique, made almost by hand. A beautiful book to collect, touch, browse or offer as a gift. Transmitting the scientific culture that Newton gave us. (Kronecker Wallis). -- With Isaac Newton's Principia we took a different approach to the editorial design, than what is typically found in mathematical or physics texts. We created a very detailed design; working with a creative binding technique which allowed us to present the three books as individual art objects. The three main chapters of Principia are bound separately as three individual books, all contained within the main cover. The translation being used is the 1st American edition, translated by Andrew Motte. Carefully revised and corrected by N. W. Chittenden. We talk about mathematics, we talk about physics, but we also talk about design, and we have to see, feel, touch and smell this aspect on all sides of the book. The aim was to provide a minimalist aesthetic in juxtaposition to the complexity of the subject. "The cleaner the page, the easier it is to understand and read." This is the main premise that I have adopted to tackle this new project. But what can be done with all this content that has little rhythm and creates monotony throughout the different pages? Curious, enigmatic, serious, organized and clean; these are the five aspects that the design of the book Principia responds to. The graphics of the covers are clean and pure with very little information, leading the reader to think "what is this book hiding?", reaching a point that is rare and unusual in scientific books. The Greek letters alpha, beta and gamma emphasise this enigmatic aspect of the covers.

To show its serious side, we have gone for an absence of colour, working only with two direct colors, petrol blue and coral orange, which are two very bold colors that complement each other well. The geometrical graphic grid has been designed based on the three recurring elements in the content: the text, notes in the margin and graphics. These three elements have marked out a flexible, organized and geometrical graphic grid that is adapted to all sections. Wide margins have been given to counter the density of the printed area. The inside covers of each section have a color background to quickly indicate the beginning of each section, whilst the index pages are found in the middle of each book in a high.
