Out of the Box is a concept design by Clara Gaggero and Adrian Westaway of London-based Vitamins Design, in collaboration with the Helen Hamlyn Center and Samsung Design Europe.

It has nothing to do directly with Substrate, but it seems suitable to highlight it here simply because the field of technical information could use a little more ingenuity, innovation and inspiration.

The basic idea is to create a user manual for a mobile phone, where you stick the actual phone in the book and the different pages explain how to do things with direct visual reference to the screen and buttons of the phone. Really simple, really brilliant.

In the full concept, there is one book for first-time assembly of the phone and a second book for learning its main functions. The image above is from the second book.
