creating creation

These spreads are for a book which is a continuation of the poster assignment. This time we were allowed to use other people's images, but no type. We had to create four spreads and a cover. Everyone's  books will be collected and wire bound together.

This is an extension of the previous poster assignment. This time we had to incorporate the actual text we were illlustrating into our images. The words were 'explosive,' 'hallucinogenic,' and 'hybrid.'

This is a working model of an academic calendar representing my three years in the program. The numbers on the left represent the number of days I've been in school. On the right in the colored bars are the corresponding calendar dates. The one above you would peel back the strip to indicate the psychological length of the day. The one with the dots you would punch out.

making a book

I'm setting Anton Chekhov's short story, "The Student" as a small booklet. The body copy is set in Bodoni Book. Trying to unlearn "Parade" styles is hard. Trying to learn how to duplex is also hard.
