UnPOPpable_2

‘Unpoppable’ isn’t a proper word, it’s not in the dictionary - well not yet! So it took me a while to work out the best way to spell it: I preferred the double p spelling, ‘unpoppable’ but others thought ‘unpopable’ was easier to read. In the end I opted for ‘unpoppable’ because it works well with ‘unstoppable’. But to make it easier to read I decided to play around with the typography. At the beginning of the book, on each page turn, the pop in unpoppable gets slightly bigger and bigger until it’s about big enough to burst!
