The grid

Concept for a book about grid systems. The cover design reflects the ideas that are expresses within the book. The layout displays the use of a grid system in a typical manner though through the reading its structure is illuminated. Repetition is an element of design that largely influences how one perceives meaning and context. The cover design displays this in an abstract manner.

Consume

Utopia

Cover design and spreads for a small experimental book centered around the concept of utopia. The aesthetic style serves to illuminate my way of seeing what a utopia is in an abstract manner.

So Happy

Cover Design and spreads for an editorial project on the topic of happiness. These spreads display happiness as something that is simple to understand though it often an goal people struggle to attain and maintain. Often, being happy is displayed to others though it is not felt by the individuals on the inside. Children are taught what it looks like to be happy so that they can present themselves to others in a positive manner.
