Hamady's use of found material includes varying papers and typefaces, seals and labels, old notebook covers, and green cloth from hospital uniforms. Several pages are creatively folded and refolded. The style of writing that involves documentation and a diary along with the inventive use of multiple typefaces, ornaments and layouts are defining examples of Hamady's style.
