Simple Sabotage Field Manual

by Office of Strategic Services

designed by Sharon Zheng

Simple Sabotage Field Manual is more of a guide than it is a traditional book. I was drawn to the dry, technical style of writing and felt inspired to create illustrations that complemented the text. Bringing fluidity and movement in between walls of numbered lists, I wanted to carry through the sense of unease, much like the content.
