Experimental Type

Finished "Experimental Type" book jacket
One of the first projects we worked on in my Graphic Design course was an exploration of typography. We were asked to design a book jacket using type to express a concept--in this case, experimentation. I was excited, and because it was also required to be a black and white cover, I immediately thought of shadows, and the way signs take on a new type when shadowed on the streets and buildings. I kept 50 or so of the preliminary photos, many of which spark ideas for future projects. Overall, this was one of my favorite projects and I hope to have future opportunities to design more book jackets.
