CHRISTINA SCHMID loves circles. she also loves squares. Actually Her whole portfolio just contains squarish objects, what else! She never thought about triangles till... you know. THE IDEA FOR THIS GEOMETRIC NOVEL EMERGED DURING HER JOURNEY THROUGH AMERICA. IN SUMMER 2009 SHE finally got to FINISH THIS BOOK AS PART OF HER STUDIES OF COMMUNICATION DESIGN IN CONSTANCE, GERMANY. AFTER A LONG TIME OF CIRCLING AROUND SHE LUCKILY FOUND THE MATCHING HAPPY END. THANKS TO TRIANGLE AND SQUARE. THANKS TO MARTHA, TO KARIN, TO ANDI and to Valentin. Thanks to pete, to matt, to Cassie and to yelena. Thanks to Eva, to Kathrin, to Theresa and THANKS TO sarah AND TO christian. Thanks to my family. AND THANK YOU, FABIAN.
